To-day's Business Record i'll the Land
Court-Trial Docket Of the New
Mexico Supreme Court.

In the U. S. court of private land claims
yesterday afternoon Hon. L. F. Parker,
of St. Louis, made an elaborate argu-
ment in favor of the point raised by the
U. 8. attorney in his motion in the Pol
vadera grant in which it was set up
that Perew, in the absence of con-
tract, had no right to voluntarily ap-
pear in his petition for the other heirs
and legal representatives., and that those
claimants not having complied with the
provisions of the act and presented a
petition for themselves within the period
provided by the act are now barred. He
confined himself to historical compari-
son of the acts of 1891, establishing this
court, with acts of congress for the ad.
Indication of land claims in California, Mis-
souri, and Florida and commended that the
authorities governing the construction of
the latter we're applicable to the act Great
ing this court. The court took the mat
ter under advisement.
This morning, full bench sitting, u.
s. Attorney Reynolds gave notice that he
would file briefs in support of his demur-
rers in No. 81, the lgnacio Chavez grant,
