A new feature in the now famous con-
tempt cases against exClerk Clancy, At
torney Spiess and the county commits
sioners came to light this morning in the
filing by Mr.. 7. B. Catron, as attorney for
Mr.. Spices, of motion in arrest OF the
judgment of the court ordering MT.
Spiess to Jail and preventing his prac-
t,ce in the supreme court. Mr.. Catron
gives eight or ten grounds upon which,
he claims, the records show the proceed
ings to be irregular and void. The prin-
clpal grounds are that Judge Collier was
not authorized to Issue the order which 10
the basis of the proceeding because ne
had not filed his commission with the
secretary of the territory; that no writ
having issued Mr.. Spiess was not in con-
tempt in advising the commissioners to
disregard the order; that no citation for
contempt was ever issued against Mr.
Spiess and that his conviction was In
violation of the organic act OF the terri
tory and of the section of the constltu-
ton of the United States, which declares
that "no person shall be deprived of life,
! liberty or property except by due pro-
cess of law" An order was entered by
the court overruling the application, so
that the order heretofore made against
Mr.. Spiess stands. The term for which
the parties were sentenced began yester-
day. They are now confined in the
United States jail at the penitentiary, this
place of Imprisonment having been sub
stituted:for the county Jail by the court
on application of the defendants.

was made to- the confirmation of the
Canon de Carmel grant. This was quite
an important trial, especially to the Peo
pie of Bernalillo county, and for tha'
reason is here given the boundaries fixee
by the decision of the land court. They
include the lands from the mouth of thu
canon as far as Tijeras and north in thu
canon to just above San Antonio. Th'
claim made by petitioners for the outlying
} tract was not confirmed, and the tota
grant confirmed is about 25,OOO acres
This is good showing for the govern
ment, as 10000 acres were claimed.
