A NEW COLONIZATION SCHEME
Daughter of Brigham Young Has a
Tract of Land in Mexico


Kansas City, Mo. March 5.-A
scheme has been formulated for an ex-
tensive colonization of British and
American farmers and agricultural la
borers on several immense tracts of
land near Vera Cruz, Mexico, and
which are owned by Miss Virginia
Young, daughter of the late Brigham
Young by his first wife. Miss Young,
who has been visiting at Vera Cruz and
other points in Mexico for several
months, was in the city for a few DAYS
last week en- route to England. where
she makes her home, and spoke guard
eddy concerning her plans. She is n
woman of some so years, but carries
her age well, and has a strong facial
resemblance to her once-famous faith
er. The lands in question are part of
the estate which he willed to her at his
decease. and their estimated value runs
up into the millions. The present plans
contemplate their being worked on the
shares system, Miss Young furnishing
the funds for the transportation of the
colonists, who will number over one
thousand at the start, and also the
necessary means for the purchase of
agricultural machinery and the con-
struction of habitations. Malcolm Nc
Nell, her confidential manager,
shrewd, canny Scotchman, who ac-
eompanied her as far as Albuquerque
on her return trip, will graVitate be-
tween this country and the sister re-
public for the next two months, maxi
ing preliminary plans for the carrying
out of the scheme. Miss Young is now
on her way home to England,

therefore, that the present application
can not be granted without an absolute
sacrifice on the part of the court of
powers and prerogatives which belong
to it and which are necessary for the
protection Of the rights OF the people
entitled to invoke its Jurisdiction. The
rule of comfy does not require of a
court exercising ancillary Jurisdiction
any such abdication OF it's discretionary
powers. McHenry and Bigelow being
non-residents and almost constantly alb
sent, creditors must, to enforce any
demand against them, seek another
forum, for If this court can not call the
receivers to account for their conduct
it will be without power to compel them
to appear in the courts within this state
in answer to any process. In view of
past experience we are not willing to
appoint as receivers persons who will
not recognize the power of the court to
control them in the administration of
a trust.

will therefore be denied"

AN ECHO OF THE RECENT FIGHT
INQUIRY as to the Pontoon Bridge
Across Which Passage Was Made.

Del Rio. Tex, March 5.-From Lang
try there comes an echo of the recent
Fitzsimmons-Maher vaudeville in the
shape of a report that communications
have passed between the treasury de-
partment and the customs officer at
I.angtry concerning the circumstances
under which the pontoon bridge over
which the sports crossed from the Tex
as side to the Mexican bottoms was
permitted to be constructed. 1t appears
to be the understanding of the treasury
department that the ends of the bridge
rested on Texas and Mexican ground,
but so far as the Texas border Is con-
cerned this is an error. To avoid pos
sible international complications, Con-
tractor Bate, who had charge of the
construction of the ring and its APP
proaches, was specifically instructed to
steer clear of Texas soil, even to the ex-
tent of allowing any unusued lumber
to be dumped upon the American side
of the Rio Grande, and these injunc-
lions were obeyed.
AS a matter of fact, as can be shown
| by kodak views taken to be used as
evidence in possible contingencies, the
1
were two feet above the soil, and the
nearest supports were directly in the
center of the stream, and, If anything,
a shade over on the Mexican half of the
stream. To prevent possible tipping by
reason of the height of the boards above
| the sand on the Texas bottoms, the
| bridge was heavily weighted on the
Mexican side, and not even stake or
rope attached it to American ground.
| 1t is learned, moreover, that the GUS
| toms officer at Langtry notified Bate on
| the morning of the fight that IL any at
tempt were made to render the bridge
more safe by securing it on the Amer
| lean side he would cut the ropes at
both ends and allow it to float down
| stream. AS it was, however, the man
ayers were forewarned and forearmed,
and by the contractors ingenuity COM

sinia indicate that General Dabort-
ida's column of Italian forces sustained
a hot attack from the enemy and
fought desperately for 40 minutes,
when they were compelled to retreat.
The Italians did their best to cover
their retreat by a rife and artillery
fire, but they were hampered by the
fear of hitting their own men. Their
infantry made repeated bayonet
charges to check the pursuit of the
Shoans, but were finally compelled
to abandon their guns.
Towards evening, while still retreat
