turned a verdict this morning which IS
covered by the following points
1. The jury find that the Instrument

aud which by this suit he sought TO nave
established as deed and admitted TO
record IL not deed, and was not Intend
ed BIZ Charles II. Howard TO be a deed.
2. They lnd the instrument from
Charles III. Howard TO Forster, Ludlow &
Co to be valid deed.
8. They further find that Charles IL.
Howard was entitled TO one.third locative
interest In all the lands in lei Paso, Pre-
sldio and Pecos counties filed upon and
located by Howard, either in his own
name or In the name Of George b, Itm-
pleman, including the Salt lake In ElPaso
county.
This is virtually victory for the How
ard heirs, who are four iu number, aud
gives them q one-third interest In the
lands, which are very valuable. The plain
tlh will, no doubt, appeal to the supreme
court.
