FOR THE COMMON GOOD.

comment, and it was stated, point
 blank, that the claim cannot hold,
 that the land belongs to the town as
 trustee for all the people, that as such
 trustee the town will divide it into
 lots, sell them to the highest bidder,
 and put the money into the town
 treasury to be used for improving the
 streets and otherwise contributing to
 the common veal. In no particular
 was that assertion unfounded. All
 the rul. ngs of the United States gen.
 eral land office and the interior de-
 partment, and all the decisions of the
 courts are in line therewith.
 The authorities mentioned above
 have established, that under the law,
 the town government shall deed lots
 to those in actual possession, and
 that all lands not so held and possess
 ed shall be sold by the town to the
 highest bidder for cash, and deeded by
 the town to such purchasers. It is
 further provided that where there are
 two or more claimants to the same
 piece of property the one whose initatory was first taken shall be the the one whose right shall prevail.
 Now, then, some months ago the town of Nogales, in it's corporate capacity made application for patent to the townsite. Atthat time everyone in actual possession of any property was openly in such posses sion, and was well known to be so. All such have right to deeds for their property from the town, when the town shall have received the patent. All other lands, at that time within the limits of the townsite ap- piled for were unoccupied, and, under the law, rulings and decisions cited, belong to the town to be disposed as herein asserted. The claimant or claimants to the land in the flat have set up their claim since the first of October. The date of their initiatory proceeding is since that time; and as the initiatory of the town was long prior thereto the new claim has no standing before the law, and will not hold. There are other rulings not cited here which go to strengthen this position. Had the claimant or taken possession of the lands | in question, in areas limited by the | law, improved them in good faith and declared an intention of holding them, filing such claim for record, be- fore the town made application for the site, then would their initiatory precede that of the town and enjoy the prior right. In that case nothing could have estopped them from receiving title. Up to the Jay in which the town applied for patent to the townsite anyone desir- ng lot on the flat could have had )ne by fencing an area of ground the proper size, erecting building and it. But when the town made it's application all subsequent were and are estopped MT. Toe Ford and his packers along with everybody else.
 For building purposes the lands on he flat are the choicest in the town. )ne day the principal business street f Nogales will go right down the enter of the area indicated The lay on which the town offers for sale he lots into which it will subdyide hey will sell for at least fiye-hundred ollars each. That sale will turn into he town treasury not less than wenty five thousand dollars, after saving good area for public park nd giving the railway what space it

TERRIFIED TOURISTS
YIELD UP COIN WITHOUT A
MURMUR
Yellowstone Park Coaches Are Held
Up by Masked Highwaymen.
Troops in Pursuit

YELLOWSTONE LAKE, Wyo., Aug.
14.-Two masked highwaymen held up
and robbed number Of Yellowstone Ma
tonal park transportation coaches in
the park this morning, relieving the
tourists of about $500. Up to o'clock
this evening the fugitives have not been
apprehended. The coaches were robbed
while en- route from Canyon hotel to
Norris Geyser basin, and had covered
but about three miles Of their journey
At the point where the hold-up took
place was the crest of high hill where
the freight road branches off from the
government road at sudden turn.
When the first coach came along the
robbers, with masked faces and cooked
Winchesters, commanded the driver to
halt. While one man kept the occupants
of the coach covered the other relieved
them of their money. When all had
been secured the driver was ordered to
proceed to a gallop. Each coach was
halted in the same way as it drove up,
the preceding ones being hidden from
view by the intervening trees. When
the last coach had been robbed the ban
dts departed for parts unknown.
Two men answering the description of
the robbers were tracked in southerly
direction along the eastern shores of the
lake. Troopers will attempt to head
them off by crossing the lake on the
government steamer. Great hopes are
entertained of their ultimate capture.
None of the passengers in the coaches
were hurt.
