Generally speaking the public has
but little interest in the results OF the
lawsuits OF individuals. But We note an
exception to this rule. For number OF
months Maxwell Bros. have had suit in
the county court to clear the title 70 their
splendid business lot opposite the bank.
They have delayed building until all
clouds OH the title could be removed.
This was done at La Junta Monday and
the cham Of title il now perfected. Ths
interest the public has in the matter is
that the termination Of the suit in favor
Of Maxwell Bros. insurss the early erec-
tion of a handsome two-story business
building on the lot. Work will be com.
menced at nm early day and pushed TO
completion.
