money necessary for the prosecution OF the
Peralta claim, in return for which the
Southern Pacific was TO have half of the
grant From that time Reavis acted, he
said, under direction of the counsel of the
Southern Pacific. He discovered in June.
1882, that the willing deed was spurious. Yet
in March, 1883, under advice of counsel. he
filed before the Surveyor-general of Arizona
the claim to the grant. based on the willing
deed. and this counsel was that or the
Southern Pacific. Reavis said he did not tell
the Southern Pacific lawyer that he was
satisfied the deed was spurious. but did give
him the name of Miguel Peralta as one who
knew more about the deed than any living
man. He .urged the Southern Pacific law
yer to send for Miguel Peralta and get his
statement, but the lawyer did not take his
advice, and so the claim was filed and
pushed on the basis of the willing deed.
Reavis said he came to believe that DIR. W.
w. Git, of St. Louis, could tell more than
anyone else about the fabrication OF the
willing papers. Celebrating his testimony
OF the interest of the Southern Pacific in
pushing the grant under the willing deed,
Reavis said: when / pressed for de-
cision on the claim by the Surveyor-general
of Arizona, | did so because / was acting
from counsel on the question OF the with
drawal of the lands within this grant from
the public domain. L never wished to cast
a cloud titles in that territory.
The trial is still in progress.

SWAZILAND CASES.
Argument Ia Those Involving Titles

Argument ia Those Involving Titles
tn George md Wolf Lakes.
Yesterday morning the Supreme Court
heard oral argument in the case of Annie
r. Kean against Edward Roby. The case
involves the title. 40 Lake George and
Wolf Lake. which are now said to be worth
sl0o0.ooo These two lakes lie between
Roby and Hammond, and the edges are
quite swampy. so that as the marsh land
around is filed up 1t reclaims part of
the beds OF the lakes, which, according to
the riparian laws, becomes the property of
the adjacent land owner in cases where the
stream or lake il owned by the State or
government. Annie r. Kean claims to have
a grant OF the lakes from the government
while Edward Roby denies that such is the
case and claims that the lakes were coded
to the State before the date of the grant
to Annie Kean. The whole case rests upon
the grants OF the land. IL the title is in
the State the reclaimed land is
the property of the owners OF the
adjoining land. OF which Edward Roby
Is one. These swamp lands have become
very valuable and this case will decide the
title to many acres aside from that in
actual controversy.

UNFOLDING A BOGUS WILL.


SANTA FE. y. NJ, June Thames Addi-
son Peralta Reavis. who was for some days
on the witness stand in the famous Perslta
land claim case, has made admissions most
damaging to the Southern Pacific railroad
management His story is that he had
abandoned the Peralta grant until the row
arose between Thomas Scott. of the Texas
Pacific, and the Southern Pacific magnates,
Huntington. Crocker and others When the
railroad fight developed and Scott beat the
Southern Pacific out Of its land grant.
Reavis thought his willing papers in the
Peralta grant might be of some value to
the Southern Pacific. He got them out Of
his trunk for the first time in several years.
He showed them first TO w w. Stowe, the
well-known politician and lawyer OF the
Pacific slope. Stowe confirmed his impress
sion that ne had something the Southern
Pacific would like to get hold Of stowe

He Had Proposed to Her While She
Was the Way 10 school
with Another.

Ora f. Clary obtained a divorce yesterday
in Room >. Superior Court. William j.
Clary. the husband. was in court. but made
no attempt TO arrest the granting Of the de-
cree. The Clarys are youthful couple. The
wife is not quite eighteen, and her husband
is but year her senior. she is the daugh-
ter OF Eli Conger. a well-to-do farmer. liv-
Ing east OF the city. Clary owns a farm in
Johnson county, few miles out of Frank
lin. Two years ago. when the plaintiff was
a schoolgirl in short froclis and the defend
ant lusty country lad. chock full of sentl-
ment, they were married. The courtship
was carried on clandestnely, and the mar
riage was the elimination of a hurried
elopement. The father OF the girl objected
to her keeping company with the johnson
county youth because he foresaw some
trouble ahead. He said that his daughter
was too young to marry, and instructed her
TO dismiss her youthful admirer and, in
the care of her school duties. forget that
she had loved. Apparently the young wom-
an took the parental advice. The Congers
made up their minds that their daughter
had cast out the image of young Clary from
her heart, and paid no further heed to the
matter
One morning. while Miss Conger. with the
uduSnter OF a neignDor, was on the way 10
school. horse and vehicle dashed up be-
hind them. The driver was William Clary.
and he did not wait TO get his lady love
alone before submitting his proposition. He
fatty asked her IL she would marry him,
and when she said she would. and gladly.
he helped her into the buggy. Miss Con-
gers companion watched the vehicle dsap-
pear, and then retraced her steps to the
Conger home, informing the girls parents
of her hasty departure Conger reasoned
that the truant couple would drive to the
county seat of Johnson county, and he put
off for that place with all haste. He ar
rived there only TO learn that a license had
been issued TO young Clary some time be-
fore Conger made no further attempt to
thwart the match, but returned to his
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Clary settled down on
the farm to live life full of happiness
The life was brief, and after year and "A
half OF IL Mrs. Clary filed her complaint
for divorce. Cruel treatment was the
grounds on which the decree asked.
Mrs. Clary told the court that her husband
was jealous of her. She said he charged
her with unfaithfulness, and one occa-
sion drew pistol on her. She thought that
her domestic affairs could not be patched
up, and the court took that view of ii. He
granted the divorce and $3.50 alimony. The
plaintiff stoutly maintained that she ought
to have $1,000, but the court thought that
amount little steep.
