Decided Against the Railroad

Los ANGELES, May 27.-In the United
States Circuit court this afternoon, District
Judge Ross decided in favor of the plain
tiff in suit brought by the Government
against the Southern Pacific railroad com
pany to annul the patents issued to that
company for lands in Los Angeles county
In this particular case there were twenty
three hundred acres of land involved but
the ruling of the court fleets the title to
over 10000 acres within twenty miles or
the primary limits of the grant to the
Southern Pacific. The court holds ths
the lands within the claimed limits of
the Mexican grant, Rancho San Jose, were
net subject to the railroad grant attached,
and the Government patents, therefore,
to the railroad should be va
Gated. The court fulther holds that all
the lines embraced in the suit were covered
by prior grant to the Atlantic and Pacific
railway.

CHICAGO'S MYSTERY.
As to the Man who Drove the White
Horse.

CHICAGO, May 26.-If Willard j. Smith
tells true story Detective Coughlin's "Un.
known Smith," the man for whom he says
he hired horse on the night of Cronin's
disappearance, is more than ever mystery.
At socialistic meeting at Waverly Hall
this afternoon reporter was approached
by an acquaintance and Smith was pointed
out as the man implicated in Coughlin's
story. The reporter accosted Smith, and
the latter said he did not know anything
about the white horse. He is going to see
Chief of Police Hubbard about the story,
as he wants the chief to know he had moth
ing to do with Cronin's disappearance.
Smith says he came here from Hancock,
Mich, three years ago. He knew Cough
lin in that city, and intended several times
to look him up, but never did so until las
Tuesday, when, happening to pass the
East Chicago Avenue station, he went, in
and talked with Coughlin. He saw him
again last Wednesday afternoon, accident
ally meeting him on LaSalle street, and
hasn't heard Of him since.
Smith is at present employed by a real
estate office here, and he refuses to give his
occupation previous to entering his present
position. That he knew Coughlin he admits,
and that he was twice with the detective
Immediately preceding the latter's asser-
tion msde on Friday, that. the man for
whom he engaged a horse was "Tom
Smith, formerly of Hancock, Michigan,
who had since gone to New Mexico.
Smith says he has no relatives in the
city, and no brother. He does not know
any one by the name of Tom Smith
in Hancock.
Smiths friends assert that Coughln
finds it necessary to invent name for the
unknown buggy driver. He CHANGED to
think of his newly found friend and after
wards, to carry out the story, gave the
mysterious individual not only the name
but the former whole address of his friend.
