JUDGE MoPIE's BABY CASE IN THE SU-
PREMR COURT.

JUDtb MOBILES BABY UASE In Thb SU-
PREMB COURT.
The supreme court OF the United States
has just decided very important case
appealed from the supreme court Of this
territory the technical title of the case is
William Bent vs.. Guadalupe Thompson
w n, Ioanty large portion OF the
Maxwell land grant was involved. Qua
dalupe Thompson, the defendant, is the
widow Of Alfred Bent and mother of the
plaintiff upon her husbands death she
proved up the latter's will, by which the
bulk of his property (among which was q
claim to large portion Of the Maxwell
land grant, was left to her and three chill
dren, among which was the plaintiff;
she subsequently sold Bent's claim to the
Maxwell land grant to that company,
rhe probate Of the will in question took
place March s, 1867 On August II,
1887, William Bent instituted proceed
Ings in the Taos county probate court to
have the will probated twenty years be-
fore set aside, and an evidently very pill
able probate judge granted Bents PRAYER,
ordered that the will be rejected and the
record oftwenty years before be annulled.
The case was appealed to the district court
Ior the LIST judicial district of this territory,
and thejudgment of the probate court re-
jecting the will and annulling the record
was held null and void and the proceed
lngs dismissed; thereupon the case was
appealed to the supreme court of the
territory, as the portion Of the Max.
we'll Land Grant involved is Of greal val.
ue, The question at issue is simply this
Whether under the laws Of the territory
of New Mexico, judgment OF probate
court in that territory admitting will to
probate may be annulled by the same
court in proceeding instituted by an
heir more than twenty years after such
original judgment was made and more
than four years after such heir had be-
come of age.
The counsel for plaintiff were Z. T.
Wells, OF Denver, Gen. B. F. Butler and
others.
Hon. Frank Springer, OF Las Vegas, ap-
peared for the Maxwell Land Grant COM
pany. The case was argued and submit
ted to the supreme court of New Mexico
at it's January, 1890, session Judge Nc
File was assigned to it and he wrote the
opinion, which was concurred in by Judge
Lee. This opinion sustained the lower
court in declaring null and void the acton
OF the probate judge Of Taos county had in
1887 and sustaining the original probate
Of the will. From this the Thompson

WESTERN INDEPENDENCE,

Senator Stewart, than whom there is
no more experienced legislator in con-
gress, makes some very timely observa
tons as to the baneful influence exerteu
on inexperienced western members b,
the representatives of the Massachusetts,
Wall street legislative ring that has
so long dominated in congress. The
policy of the gold ring has always
been to get up false issues involving sec
tional questions and personal considera-
tons, for the purpose of keeping out OF
view the economic questions relating to
the material interests of the country
Western representatives are told when
they reach Washington what the princ.
Piles OF the Republican party are, as viewed
from a Massachusetts standpoint, and
what is expected of them, and that they
must do what the leaders Of the party tell
Them or they will have no standing and
no chance to get on important commit
tees, and before they know it they have
made such combinations as will prevent
them voting on the silver question
or any other question which will
result to the interest OF their
constituents in the west. This
Is certainly true, though we are 10th to
admit it, and were it not so the west
would long ago have commanded more
respect in legislative matters. But we are
gratified to note that change for the bet
ter has already begun to dawn. Teller
and Wolcott and Stewart are in the van
demanding that the western men in con-
gress show their true colors of independ-
ence, and not few of the well laid plans
of the down east element will feel the ef-
fects of this influence In the future.

Too MCCu lawlessness in this capital
county of New Mexico the district court
meets next Monday the grand jury ought
to carefully and diligently investigate
the lawlessness existing, and that has eX
listed, and specially the outrages by
masked men in this county no person
implicated, whether he holds a county
office or not, ought to be shielded; this
county and this city are becoming very
notorious for the lawlessness and viola
tons of law that constantly occur here
it IS due to the honest and good citizens
OF this county that stop were put to
these outrages. The New MEXICAN hopes
that Judge Seeds will order the grand
jury 10 make searching and careful in
yestigation into these matters. Peace
must be kept and the law must be car
ried out, and if the present peace officials
are negligent in their duties or worse, let
them be indicted and removed from office
and better men put into their places.

What They Say About Matt ers Be-
fore the Legislature.

Wants the Exemp tion Law Repealed.
A repeal OF the $500 tax exemption law
is also matter that might very proftably
be looked into by our territorial solons.
Its repeal would add considerably to the
incomes Of many of our over-burdened
counties, and would impose no burden
which could not easily be borne by any
citizen. Silver City Sentinel.
~
Regulate Express Rates and Tax The"
A bill to regulate the rates OF express
companies in the territory would be more
acceptable to the people than Judge
Walkers bill to tax the incomes of such
companies. The tendency of the tax will
be to increase the tariff as the companies
will make the people pay their increased
expenses. Ration Range.
~
Cut 'em Down.
Certainly law for which the wise men
now in Santa Fe would receive the great
est thanks and appreciation from the
people of Grant county would be one
sreatly reuuciu. til. Iees now paid to
some county officers; or, better still, a law
cutting off all fees and making the offices
of sheriff, collector, clerk and assessor
salaried ones Under the present fee
system immense and inordinate sums
20 to these officers, which, under a
proper system, should go to and
are badly needed by the counties for pub
lie roads and bridges, payment Of interest
and county debts, and other county pur-
poses. If it be argued and agreed that it
would not be just to those officers who
have just been elected to change their
compensation after they have been elect
ed under the present law, let our legisla-
tors at least pass such law to take effect
January l, 1898. Then the officers who
will be elected in '92 would know before
hand of the change and the counties
would be saved great amounts of money
thereafter. CITY Sentinel.
