 Last week we made the state ment that Dr. Cotter, who was one of the claimants to the Algodones grant below town by virtue of holding a tax title, after sell ing his right and title to the present company, is now engaged in trying to defeat it in getting the title to the grant confirmed. The Doctor informs us that the above does him an injustice, that he has not sold to any one any interest in his tax title and that our information was incorrect, hence we make the cor rection, for the SENTINEL would not knowingly injure any one.
