REMKmBER THE B1RDs.-The little English
sparrows are about the only birds that re-
main to cheer us with their lively chirp.
They are very busy now in looking up win
ter quarters, amongst the tangled ivy, or III
some box, placed amongst the limbs OF
shade trees 1t is pleasant amusement
during the winter, to scatter seeds and
crumbs for the birds, and it will be pleas
ant surprise TO see how many of the little
chirpers will remember such humane acts.

Tajauta Ranch Case.
BRUNE

The case of Abila vs.. Abila, relating
to the Tajauta Ranch in this county,
has recently attracted an unusual
amount of attention by reason of the
large amount involved and on account
of the legal question raised. Interests
involving several hundred thousand
dollars were at stake, as well as the
homes Of score of settlers. Suit for
partition was commenced in 1866, and
an interlocutory decree was entered in
1867. Nothing further was done until
1873 when the case was taken up and
completed by final partition of the
ranch among the owners. While the
case was lying still from 1867 to 1873,
persons bought out many of the for
mer owners and become parties to the
suit. About the time final judgment
was entered, some of the attorneys for
the plaintiff conceived the idea that if
they could upset the judgment and get
new trial that they could recover the
whole ranch for the two plaintiffs, and
thus turn out all the minor heirs and
settlers who held under the DEGREES of
the court.
Now commenced the legal fight.
Mr.. Bronson moved for new trial on
the part of the plaintiffs and argued
the motion. Judge Widney was now
employed by some of the defendants
to resist The motion. On the argu-
ment the motion for new trial was
denied. Mr.. Brunson, for the plain
tiffs, took an appeal to the Supreme
Court, and without serving his brief
on defendants attorney or giving an
opportunity for him to argue the case
in the Supreme Court, called the case
up, and on an argument for the plain
tiffs, the judgments below were re-
versed.
Plaintiffs council was, however, of
short duration. Judge Widney moved
for rehearing or rather hearing at
all, and on his showing the Supreme
Court set aside its former decision and
set the case for argument the 2lst
inst. The case was argued on that
day by Mr.. Brunson, of the firm of
BrunsOn & Eastman, of this city, for
plaintiffs, and by Judge Widney for
the defendants. The argument Occu-
pied some three hours, and at the con-
clusion the Supreme Court from the
bench dismissed plaintiffs appeal,
leaving the judgments below to stand.
This decision settles the case and will
leave the purchasers in possession of
the property they fought, relying OH
the decree of the lower courts.

Infamous he. Capt Barksdale neper
