can be no doubt that it is today
on the Mexican bank of the

equity it is Mexican soil.

in conversation with your cor

law authorizing him to cross
the river to that "bancO" and
stop a prize fight thereon. He
said he is not certain that he
has any business there in the
capacity of sheriff and has too
much regard for his bondsmen
to make them liable for dam

Texas as "The Tall Chaparral
of the Rio Grande," only got
through rounding up stray Cat

NO MANS LAND.
Some Interesting Information
Regarding Rio Grande.
"Bancos."
Galveston News.

Rio Grande City, Starr Co.,
Tex, Sept. 3.-Many pieces of
no mans land or "bancos' as
they are called, dot the Rio
Grande every two or three
miles for the last 120 miles of
its course.
The Rio Grande meanders
around through the loose sandy
alluvium, forming series of
loops. When it cuts through
the neck of one of these loops
or bends it throws a piece of
Mexican or American territory
as the case may be to the
opposite bank. The running
steam through that part of its
course ceases to be the interna
tional boundary. Such bonn
dairy The follows tie deepest
channel Of the old river bed,
the cutoff remains under the
sovereignty of the government
from which it is detached and
the gradual accretion of soil
belongs to the side to which it
accrues. Such is the general
rule in designating the rights
of riparian owners where the
change in the liver bed is due
to natura! causes. 1t was adopt
ed as a rule of action by the
Morteritor treaty in 1884, had
for the purpose of enlarging
the provisions OF the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo in 1918.
In the majority Of cases there
need be little difficulty in arriv
ing at a correct conclusion as
to which Of the two countries
these morsels of land belong,
whether by gradual accretion
or by avulsion.
Occasionally, however, a nice
point as boundary lines and
property ownership between
citizens of the different coun-
tries arises apparently for the
discontinue of the surveyors
and the courts. They are what
the immortal Swiveller would
call ''inscrutable and unmitigat-
ed staggerers." A case in point
is the piece of no mans land or
"banco" containing about $50
acres which lies within q mile
of the county court house in
Bio Grande City
In 1851 the river ran by a
high clay and rock banl against
the town and its deepest chan
mel and consequently interna-
tional boundary line was, say
200 feet out into the stream.
1t can even now be located with
great accuracy.
BY September, 1892, the river
had cut its way over two miles
into Mexican territory accord
ing to the treaty Of Guadalupe
Hidalgo, forming a pear shaped
bend and adding by a gradual
accretion about 600 acres to
the Texas side.
Then, for some mysterious
purpose of its own, the Rio
Grande cut through the neck
of the bend and left about $50
acres of Texas q soil on its
right bank. This is a piece OF
no mans land. 1t can be estab-
lished by substantial proof that
this piece of land was made to
Texas by gradual accretion

DAWSON LEADS.
HAS RECEIVED MORE COTTON
THAN ANY OTHER CITY.
a Better Feeling Prevails and Good Prices
Are Hoped For. The Season

Opens.

The cotton season has opened, and
Dawson leads all other cities of the state
in the nu mber of bales of new cotton
received to date. In fact, it would not
be far wrong to say hat Dawson's re
ceipts double those of any other city.
A canvass cf the different warehouses
yesterday showed that so bales of new
cotton had been brought to Dawson.
In a few days it is expected to come in
rapidly, and the warehouses will present
a busy appearance, The buyers, too,
are ready for business and will sustain
Dawson's reputation as cotton
market by paying the highest prices,
while our merchants will see to it that
the city loses none of its prestige as
the cheapest market in this whole section
for the purchase of goods,
Local cotton men report a somewhat
better feeling in the market, and every
one hopes that good prices will prevail
unless it is soon made to appear that the
crop will be better than is now expected.
The crop is said to be in the loves
condition ever reported by the govern
ment in any year since 1881 The gov
eminent report just announced shows
the condition of the crops to be 77,9 per
cent, which is the worst average on
record, the next lowest being in 1892,
with an average of 1913.
The crop of the season 1S92,93 (the
condition of which iii August, 1892, was
as reported aoove) was 100000. The
question naturally arises, what are the
prospects of a crop nearly Al points
worse than that year?
