HEARS ARGUMENTS
IN WATER SUIT

This moning Judge E. J. L. Taber,
of Elko, occupied the District court
bench, when arguments were com
menced in the water suit of Pacific
Livestock company VS.. f. p. Ellison
ct al. Evidence in this cause was Ia
ker here about year ago, before j..
Lozano, referee, and required some two
or three months time.
Title to practically the entire flow of
the Quinn river is involved in the ac-
ton and all the ranchers along the
stream are defendants. Plaintiff is rep
resented by Edward p. Treadwell, of
San Francisco and the several defend
ants as follows: J. ID. Skeen of Salt
Lake, for the Ellison ranching com
pany; w. r. eastman and j. w. Dor
sey. of San Francisco, for the Ander-
sons; L. G.. Campbell for Martin Le-
garza: Salter & Robins for the De
Longs; Callahan & Brandon for Jerry
Hearn, Abel & Curtner, the Minors
and Mullaneys: Warren & Hawkins for
Matt Danzelmaier.

ment today, and he will be followed
by all the other attorneys mentioned,
and il is thought the arguments will
not be concluded before Saturday, The
case will then be submitted to Judge
Taber for decision and it will proba-
bly, be the latter part Of the year be-
fore an opinion is handed down.

TO CHANGE GRAND
CIRCUIT RULES

DETROIT. Mich, Jan. 12-Radical
changes in the rules which govern rae
ing on the grand circuit were submit
ted for approval when the Grand Cir
cult board of stewards convened in an
nual session here today. The changes
were proposed by the rules committee,
appointed in Cleveland November 10
at special meeting of the stewards
The one proposed change which at
traeted more interest than any other
was the proposition for fourheat
races, suggested by III. d. Sheppard,
secretary of the Columbia Driving
club. The rules committee recommend
ed that the stewards approve a plan
whereby the four-heat races be tried
out by each member of the Grand Cir
cult during the coming season.
One suggestion submitted during the
sesson that threatened to cause long
debate was that the stewards take over
control of the judges stand, and that
section 2 of article II of the bylaw
be amended to read:
''The stewards shall appoint start
er and judges for the Circuit, and the
expenses of the same shall be assessed
pro rata upon all members who are as
signed dates.'
Consideration of a plan to cut down
the early closing stakes in number and
size also consumed considerable time
at the meeting.
Applications for membership in the
Circuit were received from Dorval
Park, Montreal, Poughkeepsie and EN-
pire City, N. Y.
1t was believed certain that the
stewards would vote to have the 1915
circuit stand as follows:
Cleveland (start July 19); Detroit
(blue ribbon); Grand Rapids; Kala-
mazoo; Windsor; Montreal; Pough-
keepsie; Columbus; Lexington; Empire
City.
H. K Devereaux, of Cleveland, sub
mitted his resignation as president Of
the board of stewards, but it was no.,
accepted and he was unanimously re
plected
