SPANISH LAND GRANTS.
Work of the New Court Created to
Settle Disputed Titles in
the West.
A United States Court Governed by Span
ish and Mexican Land laWs-The
Disregard of Boundary Lines
in Old Grants.

WASHINGTON, March, 21.-The court Of
private land claims, which was created by
the late congress in its closing hours to
settle all remaining disputes over land
titles based upon Mexican and Spanish
grants and included iii the treaty Of
Guadalupe-Hidalgo concluded February
2, 1S49, and in the supplemental treaty OF
1853, commonly known as the "Gadsen
Purchase" will start out with 175 certi-
fed cases, which where pending before
congress at it's final adjournment Of
this number 1873 are from New Mexico,
fifteen from Arizona and two from Colo
rado. But these represent only fraction
of the cases which it is expected will be
brought before the court for settlement.
1t is believed, in fact, that such great
volume of business will be entered upon
its docket that it will be physically impos-
sible for the court to dispose OF it all be-
fore the expiration of its lease OF life un'
der the creative act, December 81, 1895.
In the event that this shall prove to be
the ease, it is not unlikely that an act ex.
tending the time of the court VIII be
passed by congress.
The most interesting and novel feature
connected with this tribunal is that its
proceedings and decisions will be governed
primarily by Spanish and Mexican laws
though it will be fully constituted Unit
| ed States court. The checkered and
troubled career of the old California lane
commission, which had jurisdiction o
claims under these treaties within TIT
limits of California, showed clearly thu
loose practice in the making of lane
grants which obtained in the days wheI
| the Jesuit Fathers had control OF that ter
ritory, and it is now evident that the neV
tribunal has before it a task similar t.
that OF the California commission IN set
tling the disputes over lands in the terri
tories of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah
and in the states of Nevada, Colorado AM
Wyoming, comprising the remainder
the territory in which these contests exist
ceded to the United States by the treatie
before noted. The Spanish crown woul
issue to Jealous supporter, or to some
body who rendered conspicuously goo
service, q warrant to slice of the royt
domain broadly known as New Spain
with the most reckless, not to say dellgh
full, disregard of metes and bounds, in
mediate locality or the rights OF Garlic
grantees. Such minor things as thes
were left by the amiable sovereign to /
settled by the parties concerned or
their descendants, and in many cast
these descendants, even to the fourth ar
fifth generation, are now engaged in sc
Ting them.

of this territory when Mexico threw Off
the Spanish yoke, in 1924, was scarcely
better than that which had prevailed for
a century or longer before their accession
to power. The governors were apparent
ly given unlimited authority to make
grants of territory to persons who were
able to gain their favor but there is one
slight advantage to the credit OF the Mex
lean grants, and that is, they are SO re-

 A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
J. ID. yIck Fatally Assaulted by
 U. G. Winn.

A very unfortunate affair, result ing in the death of Bud Wick at the hands of Grant Vim, occurred lsst Saturday morning about o'clock, at Vick's mill, four miles west of Rus. sellville.
 Some time ago Vim traded q horse to Vick for lumber, and was at the mIll selecting the lumber when the deadly encounter took place. Vick objected to Winn's selections, because, as he alleged, Winn was not taking the lumber according to contract. Crlmination and recrimi nation ensned, blows followed, and finally great crime was committed, as will appear from the particulars further along.
 Wick fingered until about } o'clock in the afternoon when he died, new CT having regained consciousness.
 Vim left the scene soon as pos sipIe after the fatal blow was struck, and has ever since successfully elud- ed the officers who have been en- gagged in searching for him.
 The deceased leaves wife and several children. He was member of the Christian church and of the Knights of Honor, by whom his re mains were inferred Monday in the family burying ground at Shiloh.

The Russellville Democrat., 1891-03-12

THE appeals in the cases brought to test tue constitutionality of the Mckinley tariff law have reached the United States supreme court. The principal grounds upon which 1t IS contended that the bill IS un constitutional are, first, that the bill signed by the President was not the bill that passed both houses of con gress, a section having been omitted in it's engrossment; second, that It contains provisions for bounties to sugar producers in this. country which under the constitution con gress had no power to enact; and' third, that section of the act as sumes to delegate to the President the power to impose taxes upon lm ports, which power is vested exclu- siyely h Congress and cannot be delegated. The questions involved are of the greatest importance to the interests of trade and commerce and will doubtless be as speedily settled as possible.

Southern Farming.

BatesyiIle Guard If every farmer can get as muchior six bales of cotton as for eight, is 1t not to his interest to produce only six and devote tbo labor required for the other two bales to corn, oats potatoes, wheat. stock. etc? The south would have received as much money for 6,0OO, 900 bales of cotton this season as she will receive for her immense crop ol 8.OOO.OO0 bales. She has thrown away the labor that produced 1000, 900 bales of cotton-being one fourth the labor expended on the crop. 1T this had been given to the produc- tion of other crops, the barns, gram ries and smokehovses of the south would be overfioving with plenty, and instead Of the financial cmbar easement that prevails throughout the southland prevails most where the cotton crop was largest-ours would be the most prosperous sec tion of the union. Cash trade would flow where the mortgage now makes long credit prices, and the farmer would be the most independent clti zen in all the land. Let the farmers of Independence county produce, first, enough to live on at home, and cotton afterward, and the end of the year will bless them with unexam pied prosperity.
