RESTORED 70 Government Possession.
Form WoRrH, TEX, June 20.-The Greer
Country Boundary Commission, which
comprises four officers OF the United States
Army and four citizens Of Texas,
convened in secret session at
Austin on tho 18th inst. The ques-
tion under consideration by this Commits
sion is n very important one TO the people
OF Texas, since 1t involyes.the ownership OF
a snug little back yard,some ,0es, 900 acres in
area. Each member rseems bound by Knight
of Labor oath to divulge nothing. your
correspondent Is able to make the positive
announcement that the Commission has
overwhelmingly decided that the Greer
County does not belong to Texas, but
that it Is part and parcel OF the lands
belonging 10 the Federal Government
II Is learned quite recently that the
Commission was nearly, II not quite,
unanimous in their conclusion, but no
official announcement can be made un-
til the report Of the Federal branch
Of the Commission has been submitted TO
the Secretary OF War and by him approved
Greer County for years has been by many
Texans considered part aud parcel OF the
Lone Star State, but wellinformed mem
ber OF the Commission is authority Tor the
statement that there never was the small
est grounds for this presumption on
the part Of Texas. 1t is certain that
the State Of Texas made a big mis-
take when 1t presumed to give pat,
ents for land it never had the shadow OF
legal claim TO. Something over half
million acres Of fine grazing land In Greer
County are now located upon by veteran
land certificates issued by the State Of
Texas The finding Of the commission nul,
lifes these certificates OF presumption, and
the parties holding them will be compelled
10 yacate them. the prospects are that
veteran land certificates can be bought
pretty cheap In a few weeks.

Sergeant Barwick's Report.

The total velocity of wind as recorded on
the Signal Service self-regulating animom-
eter for each eight hours of the blow, up to
8 O'Clock last night, was as follows: Total
velocity from u NJ. to s P. NJ. Sunday, 143
miles; highest velocity, 80 miles per hour.
From P. NJ. Sunday to 4 A. NJ. yesterday,
154 miles highest velocity, 81 miles per
hour. From A. NJ. yesterday to y NJ, 19l
miles highest velocity, 36 miles per hour.
From ~ NJ to P NJ. last night, 1914 miles
highest, SO miles per hour making a total
velocity from II NJ. Sunday to 8 o'clock
last night of $50 miles, or on average
hourly velocity of 23miles during the 80
hours ending o'clock last night.
A very light barometer, accompanied by
falling temperature and northwesterly
winds, prevailed during the last 81 hours
from Tatoosh to San Francisco. The
high winds are bounded by the country
Bluff, Sacramento, San Francisco and
Keeler, which might be said to be the
entire portion of Central California.
The highest and lowest temperature in
Sacramento yesterday were $50 and 400
The air yesterday was very dry, although
it contained small amount of moisture.
According to the manner in which the
temperature at that point moisture in the
shape of dew would be deposited. was OBJ
tanned by the Signal Service process yester-
day, shows that the thermometer would
have to be suddenly reduced to about 12'
above zero before the slightest amount Of
moisture could be precipitated from the
rapidly rotating n0rthwesterly atmosphere
yesterday; in other words, the temperature
of the dew point ranged from 120 to $50

He Cut of Six Years.

Governor Stoneman has released two
more prisoners from the State Prison at
San Quentin. In September, 1884, in the
Superior Court of Fresno county, B. F.
Lewis and R. N Burford were convicted
along with two other men of grand larceny
the stealing of a COW. They were prose
cuted by the Farmers and Stockmen's
Association, who employed able counsel
and left no stone unturned to make a
strong case against them. They were SEN
fenced to term of eight years each in the
penitentiary. At that time the sentence
was pronounced excellent. But two years
have slipped around, and now comes a
petition signed by those who prosecuted
and the Judge who committed them, to-
gether with the Endorsement of the Board
of Prison Directors, asking the Governor
to pardon them, and it is done. If those
two cattle thieves are to be let out after
serving one-quarter of their term, what
kind Of justice is it that would compl their
confederates, the other two poor devils, to
serve out their eight years sentence
What kind of Judge is it that will send a
man to prison for eight years and then
turn around and ask the Governor to cut
of six? Those and many such questions
were asked yesterday when the matter was
being discussed at the Capitol.
