Cochiti Miners Rejoicing Over Dis.
missal of Land Grant Appeal
Col. Reynolds View.

The news of the dismissal by the United
States supreme court of the Cochiti land
grant appeal caused rejoicing among the
hardy miners of Bland and they cele-
brated with red lights and other available
facilities last night. It took the process
sion several hours to pass five or six
given points on the right hand of Main
street as it moved up the gulch toward
the famous Crown Point mine.
AS TO ANOTHER APPEAL.
United States Attorney Reynolds was
asked this morning whether the appel
liant in the Cochiti case could take an
other appeal, and he replied: eyes, as
many times as he can get judge to sign
the same, but he will not be permitted to
file the transcript nor docket the case in
the supreme court without an order of
that court permitting the same to be
done, upon good cause shown, why it
was not filed and docketed under the
first appeal, which don't think he can
succeed in doing. In adopting the
course l did, can't think have engaged
in a senseless proceeding. If you will
read the last paragraph of the rule pub
lished in your issue of yesterday you will
fully understand the situation. Rules of
the supreme court were not adopted to
encourage delays in prosecuting appeals,
but to force appellants to be diligent or
suffer the consequences of losing their
rights by the promptness of the ap-
pellees,"

ANOTHER FRAUD.
The Government Making a Strong
Fight Against the Peralta Grant
MIR. Reynolds Letter Be
fore Congress.

Washington, Feb. "a story of a claim
for lana that has been hanging over the
best part of the territory of Arizona for
over century is told in a communities
tion sent to the house by the attorney
general, who asks for an additional ap-
preparation of $4,000 for fees and ex-
penses arising Hereunder. The case is
that of James Addison Peralta- -Reavis and
his wife versus the United States, pending
in the court of private land claims for
the confirmation of 12,75O,0OO acres of
land
An accompanying letter from M. g..
Reynolds, United States attorney for the
court of private land claims, says large
amount of testimony has already been
taken on behalf of the government as to
the forgery Of the records, from which
certified copies of the title were taken
showing conclusively that the grossest
frauds are being perpetrated against the
government to secure confirmation of
the claim. The ramitcations extend
throughout the archives of the City of
Mexico, Guadalajara, Madrid, Seville,
Spain, and to California and Arizona.
VIC udNo Vdheu suluCleuG beSUlInOny,
said Mr.. Reynolds, "and made sufficient
Investigations to justify the promise that
the right of these claimants to the grant,
as we'll as the existence of the original
grant itself, to one Baron Peralta can be
successfully defeated and many of the
guilty parties exposed. Forgery, per-
jury and subornation of perjury have
been committed in almost every form.
"If," concludes Mr.. Reynolds, "the claim
is not fully and completely defeated it
will subject the government and its citi-
zens who aretrying to develop the country
to continual harassment and will stand as
menace to every enterprise inaugurated
for the development of the mining and
agricultural interests. The case can, he
asserts, be won before trial by its care

RELIEF FOR NAVAJOES.
The Indian Appropriations Bill and
Its Many Good Features.

Washington, Feb. 9.-Senator Cockrell,
from the committee on appropriations,
reported the following Indian bill: The
total appropriation made by it is $685.
700, an increase of $6Os.97O. The appro.
priation made by the house for the sup
port of Indian pupils at the Lincoln in
stitute, Philadelphia, and the Hampton
college in Virginia, is stricken out and
the total sum for the education of In
dians placed in the control of the secre-
tary Of the interior to $1,273,440. There
is 100000 appropriated for the survey
of lands in the Indian territory.
An important amendment is that ap-
propriating $4,000 for the survey and
allotment of lands, and providing that
an allotee who on account of physical
ability can not occupy his allotment
may lease the same, and also providing
that the surplus of lands of any tribe
whose lands are allotted may lease the
surplus for farming purposes.
One of the general amendments pro-
vides that no persons should be employed
as farmer or stockman who has not been
at least five years previously IN the prac-
tical occupation of farming.
Twenty-Five thousand dollars of the
appropriation for Arizona and New
Mexico is made Immediately available,

Violent Death in Court.

Minneapolis, Feb. 9. = The buggy in

when the Hayward trial opened this
morning, The curious crowd pressed
forward to get nearer view of the grue-
some souvenirs. Emil Ferrant, who oc-
cupies rooms in the Ozark fats, gave
testimony descriptive of the occurrences
in the flats after the news of Miss Ging's
violent death had been received and of
Harry Hayward's behavior. County At
torney Nye said he had expected to put
Adry Hayward, the confessing brother,
On the stand to-day, but Adry was not
present as yet. Erwin said he should OBJ
ject as he wanted to have the insanity
experts present when the brother gave
his testimony. This statement Is be-
lieved to indicate not only the purpose
on the part of the defense to prove that
Adry has hereditary insanity, but also
possibly purpose on the part Of Adry
to give his testimony in such manner
as shall lead to that conclusion.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
The Patent EnvelOpe.

One of the simplest and most useful
of recently patented devices is described
as "the thread opening envelope" where
by letters mailed can be conveniently
opened without the aid of pen knife or
scissors or the clumsy and lacerating
thumb and fore-tinger. By simple
twist of the wrist the concealed thread
accomplishes the work with neatness and
dispatch. This envelope was invented by
W. j. Puckett, now superintendent of the
mint at Denver, and letters patent cover
ing the same were granted to him on
September Is, 1891. Since then stock
company has been organized at Denver
for the purpose OF manufacturing and in
Producing the novelty throughout the
country. G. L. Betterton & Co., of Santa
Fe, have secured the agency for New
Mexico and Arizona.

cross the continent from February 12
to 16, and the next will reach the Paci-
fic coast about the 18th, cross the western
mountain country by close ofuthe 18th,
the greater central valleys from 18th to
Goth and the eastern states about the 20th
This storm wave will initiate most
remarkable period of weather and the
country will experience almost every
thing from the tornado to the blizzard.
Extremes of weather in nearly every res
pect may be looked for, but more cold
than heat, more rain and snow and sleet
and hail than drouth.

quest of the committee to discuss with
him the advisability or necessity of new

ests in the roads by carrying out the act

OVERDUE STEAMSHIP.
Much Anxiety as to the Fate OF La
GascOigne-TeutOnic in Port
Other Marine Matters.

Queenstown, Feb. 9.-The Cunard
steamship, Etruria, from New York, has
arrived and her officers say that no signs
of the French line steamship, La Gas
coigne, were noticed.
Glasgow.-The Anchor line steamship,
Anchofia, several days overdue from New
York, was sighted off Tory island, on the
north shore of Ireland, at $40 O'Clock
this morning.
Halifa1.-The steamship, Wakefield,
from Galveston for Liverpool, put in
here to-day with her cargo of cotton ON
fire.
TEUTONIC IN PORT.
New York.-The Teutonic, from Liver
pool, reached her dock to-day, after hav-
ing been delayed outside over twelve
hours owing to the heavy storm. At 2 p.
m. yesterday the Teutonic sighted the
steamer, Josie Reeves, of New York, fly
ing signals of distress. life. boat with
five men was lowered but returned after
an hours unsuccessful effort. At $50 D.
m. the Teutonic sailed alongside the
Reeves, affording lee for the schooner's
dorles and nine men were hauled on
board.
SIX DAYS OVERDUE.
The French line steamer, La Gascoigne,
from Havre, January 26, had not been
sighted up to II o'clock this morning, six
days overdue. The cause of La Gas
coigne's nor-appearance can only be con-
jectured, but there can be little doubt
now that her machinery is disabled and
she is working for port under reduced
steam. The severe weather reported by
the Teutonic is no doubt being encoun-
tered by La Gascoigne, but the long
passage can hardly be attributed to bad
weather alone.
OTHER OVERDUE STEAMSHIPS.
The Red Star line steamer, Rhynland,
left Antwerp fourteen days ago. No
anxiety is felt, however, for her safety.
Several other steamers are overdue.
