U. s. LAND COURT.
Trial of OjO del Apache Grant Cast
Continued Yesterday Afternoon
Interesting Points Raised.

In the United States land court yester-
day afternoon the trial of the Ojo del
Apache grant case was continued,
but not completed, Mr.. Catron represent
ing the claimants and Mr.. Pope the gov
eminent.
The plaintiffs claimed that in 1912
Governor Armijo made the grant to a
man named Ventura Trujillo and gave
an order to Damasio Salazar, an alcalde,
to place Ventura Trui illo in possession.
Mr.. Pope, on behalf of the government,
commended that Governor Armijo never
made such grant; that it was simply an
"alcalde grant," that Salazar was in the
habit of making such grants.
The plaintiffs were unable to produce
any original grant, but the court, over
the objection of the government, per-
mitted them to present secondary evil
dence as to the existence of the grant.
The government also contended that,
if Trujillo was ever put in possession, he
was only there few days and then aban-
doned the grant.

TELEPHONE DECISION.
A Chicago Judge Hands Down An
Opinion That Is Likely to Prove
Beneficial to santa Ee Tele-
phone Company.

The recent decision of Judge Showalter,
of Chicago, adverse TO the claim of the
Western Electric company to the Watson
switchboard, and favorable to the con-
tention of the Western Telephone Con-
struction company that it had the right
to use same, possesses some local inter.
est. The switchboard and the accom-
panying instruments in controversy are
in use by the Santa Fe Telephone com
pany Of which Mr.. Sparks is manager and
that gentleman and his associates are
naturally elated that the Western Elec.
trio company's patent infringement suits
have been knocked out.
One result of this decision will be the
lessening of the cost of telephones to all
Manufacturers by at least 81 per instru.
ment, this being the sum, it is said, which
has been charged upon each telephone to
meet the cost of litigation with the West.
ern Electric company.
This decision opens the way to placing
microphones at the command of all the
patrons of the Santa Fe Telephone COM
pany. Five or six of these useful instru-
ments are now in use here and they are
giving complete satisfaction.

that the workings in the mine have been
