LOUISVILLE. Ky, July Two years
ago President Dlaz of Mexico granted a
concession OF 10, 900 acres of land IN
Lower California to a syndicate composed
of citizens of the United States. The
Mexican government was then as now
crushed under a burden Of debt, and the
grant was made without reserve. The
land lay on the southern boundary of the
United States and stretched from the Pa
cifc ocean to the Gulf of California The
syndicate at once organized a stock com
pany and began to make arrangements to
utilize their acquisition. Gen. Ed Murray
was made president Gen. Murray IL a
native Kentuckian, was a gallant soldier
| for the UnIon in the war, is ex marshal Of
Kentucky, ex governor of Utah, and has
been prominent in the councils of the Re
publican party. lie was a candidate to
succeed Hearst in the late election for
United States senator from California.
lie is the man chosen by the
syndicate to lead them in the scheme
to establish an American MOutc Carlo in
Lower California, whose monarch will be
an American citizen.
A large force OF surveyors was sent to
Lower California aud the boundaries of
the grant extending across broad table
lands aud over mountains aud deep rivers,
were laid of. Included IN the grant were
the holdings OF the Mexicans whose fami-
lies had held the land for centuries. Mex
lean hidalgos whose vast estates stretched
for miles, and who had lived IN ieudal
splendor undisturbed almost since Cortez
wrested the lands from the Aztec owners.
They were rich and powerful 10 the Mexi-
can capital, the rights of the Americans
meant beggary to them, and they at once
appealed to the Mexican courts and to the
government for protection. So bud did
their clamors become that President Diaz
could not ignore them, and, pending the
settlement by the Mexican courts of their
claims for damages, the operations of the
Americans were suspended 20 as to per
feet their financial plans.
Fifty millions OF dollars would be re-
quIred to complete their now Monaco, and
the members Of the syndicate turned 10
the Eastern cities for a portion Of the
capital required. In January last Gen.
Murray came to Louisville, while his
associates sought other cities in quest OF
the millions they needed, several of them
stopping ar s.. Paul, where many OF the
wealthiest men, it is said. became inter

them all eve an outing there; but we
can give them Fairgrounds in the city; a

We have reserved great parks and

the coast survey and thirty out Of the fish
commission. They will be ordered aboard

eighty men and the Bennington nearly
100. The arrival of a draffof eighty men

two gamblers, Joe Copeland and William
Hadden, had a difficulty over some mat.
ter and came to blows. About - O'Clock
they met on the south size Of the square.
Copeland was armed with a revolver,
while Hadden had a shotgun. Copeland,
as soon as he saw Hadden approach,
stepped out on the sidewalk and fired at
Hadden with his pistol. The bullet
went over Haddcu's head and sped right
down the sidewalk, being heard to pass a
door two blocks away. Hadden promptly
returned the compliment with his shot
gun, and also missed his mark. As the
walk was crowded with people all along
the track of the bullets it Is wonderful
that some innocent person did not pay for
the bad temper snd worse craftsmanship
displayed. Both men were arrested and
placed under bonds.

Death of Mrs. Glenn.

The sad news reached here yester-
day afternoon of tha death of Mrs.
Frank Glenn at Jacinto, California,
at IL A.. NJ. Tuesday, June %, 1891. 80
Mrs. Glenn was the daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John r. Bradley, and
was born in Stockton, California, May
10, 1868. When quite young her
parents removed to Austin, in this
State, where they resided for a time
and then moved to Mineral Hill and
from there came to Elko in 1873.
Mrs. Glenn grew up to womanhood
here. She was possessed of a sunny,
jovial temperament and numbered as
her friend every ono who knew her.
She attended the public school and
the State University, then located
here, and the Mills Seminary at Oak
land, California.
She was married to Frank Glenn,
son Of DR.. Glenn, of Colusa county,
Jal., on tue 9th day of January, 1884.
since her marriage she has resided
with her husband at Jacinto, Cal.
Mrs. Bradley left Reno Monday
night for the bedside of her daughter,
but before she arrived at her home
death had lajmed his victim.
The INDEPEND ENT joins with the
people of Elko in extending their
tenderest sympathies to the grief
stricken parents, husband and rela-
tives in their great affection.
