Last Tuesday mornings Star says:
Senator Eugene S. Ives, of Yuma, was
in the city yesterday. Senator Ives is
expecting the hearing of the motion by
the supreme court on the rehearing of
the Algodones land grant will come up
any day, which will. we suppose, make
final disposition of the grant either
for or against the claimants. This will
prove a great boon for Yuma county in
particular and Arizona in general, as
the final determination of the title will
throw open a large area of the most
productive land in the territory to set
Element and reclamation and then
Yuma city will soon become the rival
of the largest class in the territory.
Senator Ives is one of the ablest law
yers and about the most eloquent public
speak er Arizona can boast of, as he is
product of the New York school of
public men, which rank among the first
in the land. The senator returned to
Yuma this morning.
j. Pompa, a Sonora cattleman, ar
rived in town several days ago with a
band of cattle for L. ZeckendOrf & Co.
In crossing the line he received a per-
nit to keep the horses used in driving
the cattle, ten days in United States
territory. These permits are issued by
the United States government to enable
Mexican cattlemen to drive their stock
across the line without being compelled
to pay duty on the horses, if returned
to Mexico within the stimulated ten
days. Mr.. Pompa delivered his beeves
and prepared to return home when an
attachment was placed on one of his
horses for debt. He returned the bal
ance of his horses, ten in number.
across the line before the expiration of
the ten days but the eleventh, being
held by attachment remained behind.
The matter will probably be settled in
the courts and whether the cattleman
will be obliged to pay the duty on re-
turning his horse to Mexico remains to
be seen.-Star.
