COAL CONTEST DECIDED.
Litigation Over Forty Acres Of Monero Goal
Land Terminated.


The protracted litigation over forty
acres of coal land, described as the
northwest quarter of the northwest
quarter Of section II, township 81 north,
range 13, situated near Monero, in Rio
Arriba county, has been finally decid-
ed by the secretary of the interior in
favor of George w. Kutz. In March,
1898, Kutz made application under the
coal land laws of the United States to
purchase the above described land, but
his application was suspended because
of the conflicting claims of Carrie E.
Freese and William L. Keys. Of Monero.
These parties, being adverse claimants,
were notified by the general land office
to show cause why the application of
Kutz should not be allowed and thus
the contest was initiated by Mrs. Freese
and Keys against KutZ. Much testi-
mony was taken in the hearing before
the register and receiver Of the local
United States land Office, and the case
was fought bitterly on both sides. The
local land Office decided the case In fa-
vor of Kutz, and the contestants ap-
pealed to the commissioner of the gen.
eral land office, who sustained and af-
firmed the opinion of the local land Of
fee. From this decision Mrs. Freese ap-
pealed to the secretary of the Interior
but Keys failed to show up in time, and
by operation of law was dropped out OF
the case Now comes news from Wash.
ington that the secretary Of the interior
has affirmed both the opinions of the
commissioner and the local land office
The attorneys for Mrs. Freese and Keys
were N. B. Laughlin, c. A. Spiess and
