boats The advantage of the short ,>heavy,
bell shaped gun is that it can be turn ed and
fred at any angle of elevation, almost per-
pendicularly, indeed.
Mortars are used both ON land and sea. As
far back as the history of modern military
weapons, the mortar has been employed
Originally it threw stones instead of balls.
It is recorded that Joan of Arc herself aimed
the mortar guns in her war against the Eng
lish. The first thoroughly effective use Of
this weapon in recent times was during the
Crimean war. On the water, to guard
against the heavy recoil OF the mortar, the
boat containing it i built usually with broad
bottom.

DENVER. Aug. 27.-Truuble as to
the Maxwell land grant has been brew
ing for some time, in fact ever since
the supreme court of the United States
confirmed the title to the grant. The
grant MAS originally made by the Mex,
lean government To Beaubih and Mi
.randa, two MeXicanS, who wefe given
two square leagues. or So 600 acres of
land, providing they would cultivate
the same. The boundaries of the land
now contain l, $50 900 acres. The man
ner in which the grant grew to its
present proportions is one of the chief
causes of the trouble Settlers living
within the boundaries of the grant
charged that the original property was
enlarged by fraudulent means. The
highest tribunal in the land, hOwel er,
held that there was no fraud, and re-
fused to set aside the patent granted
by congress. Hundreds of settlers have
improved homes and lived there SO
many years that they considered them
selves rightfnlly in possession, and
they look upon their threatened eject
ment as an outrage. Soon after the
supreme court decision the grant PEG
pie proposed to purchase the
settlers improvements and stock
at the market price, after

would sell them the land at reasonable
figures. Many settlers accepted the
proposition and sold out or purchased
lands at prices ranging from 81 80 to
$40 per acre. The Grant company
claims to treat the settlers justly, APP
praiSiDg the stock aud improvements at
fair value. Charges have been made
that in many instances settlers have
been asked TO pay an exOrbitant price
| for the premises upon which they have
| been living Ormany years. The set
| tiers are now up in arms. They have

certain ill-dispnsed persons. They are
