C0NEJOS GRANT REJECTED.
Juan Jose Maria Grant Also Rejected The
Maestas Grant Confirmed.

At the session of the United States
court of private land claims today
Chief Justice Reed announced the opin-
ion of the court rejecting the famous
Conejos grant, claimed by Crescencio
Valdez, of Conejos, Colorado, and COW
ering 5000, 900 acres of land in the Rio
Grande valley in southern Colorado, in
Guiding the towns of Alamosa, Monte
Vista, Del Norte and other important
settlements. The court said: "This rul-
ing is based upon the ground that We
have no competent or satisfactory evi-
dence that grant was made.
We have no evidence that a grant was
made to them (the claimants) in 1888
except their own declarations contained
in their petition to the prefect, and his
action, in which he assumed that that
was correct. In the absence of any
competent evidence of the grant, we
feel ourselves constrained to deny all
relief"
A decision was also announced reject
ing the Juan Joseph Moreno grant in
Bernalillo county, Crescencio and Simon
Moreno claimants. This decree, how
ever, to be without prejudice to such
rights, if any, as claimants herein may
have under and by virtue of the de-
crees of confirmation entered by this
court in the case of the Gaia del Rio
grant and the La Majada grant.
1,so 11r n
decision by the court. Justice Sluss dis
senting, confirming the Mestaes grant,
a claim for one league on the Rio Pu-
erco in Bernalillo county. This con-
firmation gives the claimants all they
ask except any fractional part of their
tract which may be in conflict with the
Espiritu Santo grant. Ex-Governor
Prince appeared for the claimants, Le-
onidas and Pedro Mestaes.

A CHASTITY FIND.
Cowboys Run Across a Prospector's Skeleton
in the Black Range.

Last week. while the cowboys in the
employ of the N. A. N. outfit were
rounding up stock in the Black Range
country. and at point between the
MONDAY and Gallina creeks, they came
upon the bleached bones and outfit of a
man.
There was no clue to the identity of
the unknown. Nothing but his bones
were left; his clothing and everything
which could possibly lead to the discov-
cry of his name has been destroyed by
cattle and wild animals. The saddle
which he had been riding, his pack
outfit and gun, were about the body in
a fairly well preserved condition, but
there was no trace of his horses, which
had strayed away. A shoeing outfit
and two or three loose shoes gave foun.
dation for the belief that very short
while prior to his death he may have
been engaged in shoeing one of his
horses, and it is not unlikely that he
came to his end by kick or some in
Jury received while so doing. He was
evidently prospector, out alone in the
mountains.
The bones were given burial, and
what effects there were saved for the
purpose, II possible, of ascertaining the
identity of the unknown dead.

ger transmitted to Che Foo by courier.

in the cablegram is that the situation
at Pekin Is more critical and Ne Chin
ese government is endeavoring to force
the ministers to leave the imperial city
under Chinese escort before the arrival
of the relief column.
DUE AT PEKIN.
London, August 15.-The allies have
almost certainly arrived at Pekin, even
though rain has been failing. Advices
from the British commander at the
front through Rear Admiral Bruce, give
reasonable assurance that the twenty
seven miles between the allied forces
and Pekin would be easily traversed in
four days. the Chinese seemingly being
unwilling to fight and falling back on
the capital.

that she always chung to this belief
and repeatedly declared 1t to friends.
Another important event in the life
Of Mckinley that caused him to delay
the case of Rostetter and Sheets was
his canvas for prosecuting attorney
Of Stark county. He was nominated,
IS well known, partly as a joke, for
the county had been strongly demo-
cratic. The opposing candidate was
William A. Lynch. Mckinley, prob
ably inspired with the idea Of distin-
gushing himself in the eyes Of his
prospective bride, turned out and
made such a vigorous campaign that
he won, and when the ballots were
counted in the fall Of 1869 he was
elected prosecuting attorney.
Here is another strange thing clus-
tering about this period of McKinley'a
experience. The opposing counsel in
the Rostetter-Sheet case was also this
same William A. Lynch. Mckinley
won the election and his bride; Lynch
won the law case. Two years later
Mckinley and Lynch were again op-
posing candidates for prosecuting at
torney. This was Lynch's turn and
he easily defeated Mckinley. Mr.
Lynch is now a prominent business
man and lawyer at Canton, and one
