GRANTS THAT ARE VOID.

Tho Court of Private Claims Knocks
Out - Few Arizona Land 0rAbbers.
TUCSON, Ariz., March 30.-The United
States court OF private claims, which
has been in session here for some days,
adjourned this afternoon after handing
down decisions in the Sonoita, San Ra-
fael del Vale, BabRcomari and NoRales
de Elias grant cases favoring the settlers.
The principle OF the decision in the San
is that the state of Sonora had no power
to make grants. This opinion was based
on the decree of Santa Ana. dictator Ct
Mexico from 1858 to 1855, who in 1854
declared void all grants whatsoever
made bv the state and provinces OF Mex
leo. All grants in Arizona, it ie claimed,
with the exception of the SonoitR grant
were from the state of Sonora. The
grants inquestiUn we're as follows: So
noita, made in 1921, area 5000 acres;
Babacomsri. made in 1888, area 36, 900
acres; San Rafael del Vale, made in
1888, area Is, COO acres; Nogales de Elias.
made in 1874, area, 10000 scres. The
Nogales grant was rejected unanimously.
This was surprise to counsel for the
grant in question, they having filed
petition for rehearing of the case on
the ground that the only consideration
was seven and half leagues, thus get
ting enough land in the grant to reach
into Arizona and include the town OF
Nogales. With tho grant knocked out,
the application will hardly prevail. In
the Sonoita grant case, the most inn
portant OF all the cases tried at this
term, the court hello the grant void.
The substance of this branch of the
case is that no act of the Spanish Of
fcals with reference to the public do
main subsequent to March l, 1921, when
Mexico secured freedom from Spain,
could bind the Mexican government,
and therefore did not bind this govern
