Here is story from Alamogordo too
good to lose. 1t is told by the Banner.
On last Saturday a battle royal had
been matched between badger fresh
from the plains and Chas. kreamer' 3
dog At the hour designated full
house was present waiting auxlously
for the entertainment to open.
Nothing could be seen of the badger
except the barrel in which he was
Gagged and the long dangling cord to
which he was attached. Old Ponto,
the dog, shifted the air AID ened to
understand that something was about
to trsuspire. Wagers on the results
OF the fghs were rapidly offered and
taken, until lmost every one present
ad a financial interest in the battle
and il was difficult to find an unin-
terested party to pull the badger from
his cage and see that he had fair
field.
Finally Mr.. Wilkins, of New York,
who had never witnessed badger
fight, was chosen as the proper man to
pull the badger from his resting place
from the sharp teeth of the badger
Mr.. Wilkins was furnished with q
long cord, the end of which he grasped,
and stood back across the room, with
an open aisle between him aad the
barrel, ready to make the pull when
the order was given. Old Ponto, In
charge of Mr.. Kreamer, was cid back,
as he showed signs of willingness to
pitch into old Nick himself if al OPP
portunity was afforded. Betting was

'"Three hundred and forty causes for
action, under consolidation of cases in
Colorado, New Mexico aud Arizona,
whereof three hundred private land
grants we're involved, not including the
Peralta-Resvis claim of several million
acres, covering from 100000 to
30, 600, 600 acres, have been tried and
the titles settled.
1.-THE record shows that the claima uts
TO these grants have won about % per
cent OF the suits filed. But, under
stand, that per cent has been reduced
at least so per cent from,the original
claims. For example. take one case
that was tried; the claimants made a
claim for 400, 900 acres, the court al
lowed them about 5000 acres. That
claim was the San Miguel del Bsdo
grant in New Mexico.
1.-THE area of the land that has been
confirmed by the court to the various
claimants, in proportion to the vast
acreage claimed, will run less than Is
per cent. That, however, leaves out
the small estates.''

TO secure board for month After inluir-
ing the charges. he asked TO be allowed to
pay for the first week in advance. and
produced a, check which would more than.
cover the amount and insisted that the
lady cash It, taking out the first week 5
board, which she was about to do, until
by womanly intuition md the falSirss3
eagerness to have the check cashed.s it
occurred to her that the smooth-tonsued
gentleman, might be a fake. SO she de-
sciined, saying it was not her custom to
collect in advance He insisted still that
he be allowed to do so, but wi taout avail,
and left saving he would return for sup
sner which he failed to do. He snve his
name as .sMr. Richards. which name was
