United States Supreme Court Decides
 Against the Coe Grant.

United States Supreme Court Decides Against the Coe Grant. Washington, May 26-Some of the principal reasons gwen in the decis- ion of the land grant cases handed down on the 23d are worthy of study, and are of interest, as applied to other cases Of similar character still pend ing. Justice McKenna rendered the decision, saying:
 "1 he proof is ample to show that l the national laws were not pursued, and, besides, it is conceded that at the time of the grant the state of So- nora was in rebellion against the na- tion. It and its officers were there fore opponents Of the national author ity. not its instruments; while decIar- ing in the presence of it, they could not claim to act for it and convey its title"
 Justices Brewer, Brown, Shiras and Peckham dissented from the decision in the Coe case.
 By the decision in the Arizona case Earl B. Coe and the other members oi syndicate of Colorado men, among whom were D. H. Moffat and A. M Stevenson, who bought the land, will be heavy losers. for. besides losing title to the land, they will lose large amount of money invested in improve ments and the heavy costs of litiga-
 ton. MT. Coe is in Chicago. | Wilbur F. Stone, who is one of the
 judges of the court of private land
 claims, which decided in favor of Coe
 three or four years ago, said that he
 did not know the area of the strir
 claimed, as it probably had not beer
 surveyed, but it was his impression
 that the case involved title to about
 2O,0G0 or 10000 acres. The title was ir

turned his attention to fancy work, in
which he become an expert, and his
handiwork was of the finest kind.
woodward was kind-hearted and gen.
erous young man and consequently his
friends were legion.

1t is a Commendable Association

Since the Village Improvement AS
sociation has been organized in this
place there has been considerable COM
ment concerning 1t. Some people speak
disparagingly of it aud others think
that the Association is to do the work
of the board of health, as several nui-
sances have already been reported to
the Association. 1t is not the object of
the Improvement Association to do the
work OF the health officers nor to sewer
the town, but its object is to try and
keep the streets In clean condition,
which is certainly commendable OBJ
ject and should be endorsed by all citi-
zens who are interested in the appear
ance OF the town. To see Main street
covered with sticks, papers, rubbish
and occasionally dead rats, is all the
evidence necessary to prove that the
town needs some kind Of a society to
look after the cleanliness of the place.
Instead OF making remarks and dis
couraging the Association, every person
should help along the good work by
cleaning In front of their own property.
Ii the Association needs municipal laws
to help carry on the work OF improving
the appearance of the town, the town
council should create the necessary or.
dinances. The ladies will meet many
difficulties and discouragements at first,
but in time the people will become ed
ucated to cleanliness and the work of
the Association will be much lighter
than at first.

Another Reservoir,

1t is the intention Of the Reynolds
vile Water Company to build another
large reservoir. Mr.. Mellinger made a
survey yesterday for 1t. The reservoir
will be 20 feet deep, 300 feet wide and
will extend back 1900 feet. This
reservoir alone will hold enough water
to supply the town for sixty days. The
water has been scarce the past summer
and sometimes the pumper has been
compelled to pump water when the
supply was SO low that the water would
be riled by the pumping. With the
additional reservoir there need be no
trouble on account Of the water getting
low or riled during the summer months

Disgraceful Affair.

A disgraceful affair occurred at a
West Reynoldsville house Monday
night. A woman and girl, whom we
understand were intoxicated, quarrelled
and the girl hit the woman on the head
with a water pitcher. The woman came
over into this borough about midnight
with nothing on but her night dress
and pair of slippers. Afterwards she
returned to- West Reynoldsville and
whipped the girl shamefully, knocked
her down, jumped on her and would
have killed her had not others inter-
ferred. There was some jealousy back
OF the trouble. The woman was taken
to her home in Corsica before daylight
Tuesday morning.

Riot on "Poverty Flat

Poverty fiat" has become noted and
notorious on account Of the bad deeds
performed there and the number of
cases the fiat" furnishes for every term
of court. Last couat Mag" Bash and
Carrie Swiers were convicted for keep
ing bawdy houses on the "hat" and
Judge Reed suspended sentence until
next term of court with the understand
ing that II the women moved out of the
county before next term that they
would not be sent for. Mag" Bash
took the hint and aitted last week, but
Carrie Sweirs did not move last week.
and as consequence the "fat" will fur
nish another case for the December
term of court Saturday night eight or
ten young fellows from this place, went
to the Hat and proceeded to conduct
themselves In riotous manner, and
some OF them narrowly escaped being
killed. The young fellows kicked in
the doors and broke the windows in
Carrie Swiers' house, and smashed
things up In general. Then they turned
their attention to the house OF John
Gardner, who had gone for an officer
and left Robert Runion to guard his
house with shot gun. When the mob
began clubbing and stoning this house,
bob" used the gun and six of the gang
were wounded, though none of them
seriously. Only one of the gang was
arrested and he was kept in the West
Reynoldsville lookup until Monday
morning when he furnished 100000 bail
for his appearance at court.
