LAND COURT At Ell PASO.
Important Testimony Taken in Old
Mexican Grant Cases.
N0N-SUIT FINALLY ENTERED.

The court of private land claims
convened yesterday IN the federal
building with United States Judge
Reid presiding, says the Ell Paso
Times. The business of the court
was finished sooner than Anticipated
and an adjournment taken last night.
Judge Reid, United States ATTORNEY
Reynolds, Special Agent Coleman and
Clerk Mcpherson left over the Santa
Fe for points in New Mexico.
The object of the session in this
city was to take evidence in the cases
of the United States against the
claimants of the Sanchez and Barela
grants in Dona Ana county, New
Mexico. The land in controversy is
situated about eight miles across the
border and ii was easier to take the
testimony in this city. 1t is contend
ed by the claimants that they hold
title to the land from the Mexican
government, and by the treaty with
the United States their titles were
assured.
In this district the court makes its
headquarters at Santa Fe. N. NJ. but
sessions are frequently held at diff
ferent cities for the purpose of taking
evidence. The business is conducted
in the land court of private claims
very much in the same manner as
that adopted in a chancery court
During the past two years a large
number of private land cases have
been disposed of, chiefly in New
Mexico The main issues involved
embrace the legality of the title and
the description of the land conveyed
Many of the descriptions are very
vague and indefinite, old land marks
have been destroyed and there are
conflicts in different surveys.
The Sanchez and Barela grants
comprise each about 42S acres. There
has as yet been no final decision
reached in either case.

gress when the police arrived. Three
prisoners were made. About 1000
men or so per cent of the required

A Sample Article.

The Durango Telegraph in answer
ing one of Days articles, says
"The editor of the Democrat, Col
onel David F. Day (the great and only
San Juan skunk, refers to the editor
of the Telegraph as an idiot, ass and
lantern-jawed liar He evidently
picked the epithets at random from
his vulgar vocabulary of abuse, and
as nearly every other man in Durango
has suffered similar insults, we toss
them back to the crazy old fool and
ask him to use them over again just
as often as he chooses. He will re.
member, however, mat the man he
now blackguards built his business
and saved his life. For years he had
a hibit of referring to us as the best
man with whom he was ever connect
ed. 1t would be little hard for an
ordinary man to go clear back on his
past, but Mr.. Day is far from being
an ordinary man. We would hate to
say that man who built our business
and saved our life was either idiot
ass or lantern-jawed liar"

The special committee on the rail-
road franchise reported through the
chairman, Alderman McMillen, that
the original franchise be not granted
and that substitute be passed On
the clause recommending that the
franchise be made to include a right
l,,fu ,vio
there was a difference of opinion.
| Alderman Rodgers and Harsch wanted
the clause, and this report was signed
| by large number of property owners.
Chairman McMillen said 1t would
impair the uses for which the via
duct was built, viz: AS means to
cross the track of the Santa Fe. The
clause provides that the railway CON-
pany maintain and keep In order the
viaduct and be responsible for all
damages that may arise from the use
Of the viaduct by the railway COM
pany.
The substitute provides for a fifty
year lease, and the ordinance limits
the maximum fare to be charged to
five cents.
Alderman McMillen said that he
did not want to give the viaduct away
to this company, and that the eighteen
foot roadway on it was not big enough
to accommodate the electric line He
thought that the granting of a right
of-way over the viaduct in its present
condition would be more dangerous
than grade crossing Alderman
Harsch moved that the company have
right-of-way across the viaduct and
that majority of the committees
report be adopted. The motion was
| lost by vote of five to two, Rodgers
and Harsch voting yes.
On motion of Alderman McMillen
the committee was ordered to re-draft
the ordinance and report this evening
at the adjourned meeting.

RAGING RIO GRANDE.
Not 50 High Today as Yesterday But
still Dangerous.
BAD SITUATION At kTRISC0.

The Rio Grande is still raging but
not as threatening as yesterday.
The break which occurred yesterday
on the west side above Barelas bridge
and threatened the town of Atrisco,
was stopped last night and the far
mers and settlers of that district are
breathing easier.
VAe water fell several inches last
nisnt and is still lower this afternoon,
but there is yet some little anxiety
felt by The river people. II Is thought
that the fall is caused by the recent
cool spell in the north, temporarily
decreasing the volume OF water de-
scending from the mountains coming
from melting snow. When the wea-
ther warns up again 1t is feared that
the river will again become dangerous.
1t was reported this morning that
the Pena Blanca bridge went out last
night, but this report could not be
verified. yY
Just below this city the water has
spread out over the lowlands of the
v ey covering the old smelter site
anu causing some little distress among
a few settlers.
Below Isleta the river Is threaten
ing the railroad tracks. The Santa
Fe thinks the matter serious and
have more than 100 men engaged In
damming the wash, The place where
the danger is greatest is where in
former years there was a bridge.
Reports from farther down the river
are that it is high-the highest it
has been for years-and very threat
ening. iSissl
At FL Paso the water has risen so
high that the gravest fears are that
serious damage to property will be
the ultimate result Many small out
buildings have been carried away in
the torrents.

CITY COUNCIL.
To Grant Franchise for Electric Road
to 0. {. Cromwell.
OTHER COUNCIL BUSINESS.


bustling albuquerque will have a first
class electric street railroad system
in operation before the close of the
year 1904. 1t will do wonders for the
city in the way of building it up, and
in fact. it will transform all the out
lying districts into homes and ranches
and swell the resources of this city.
The adjourned meeting of the city
council this evening will grant a fran
chise to build and operate an electric
street railroad in this city for term
of fifty years, the city to reserve the
right to buy the system after twenty
five years of existence. O. Z. Crom-
well of this city and New York, will
of the Albuquerque street railroad and
is heavily interested in real estate
here.
The Citizen representative had a
pleasant interview with Mr.. Cromwell
at the Alvarado this morning. If the
franchise is satisfactory and Is ac-
cepted, the work on the system will
begin in the near future. What will
retard the completion of the system
at an early date Is the inability of
Mr.. Cromwell to secure the steel rails
and rolling stock The large steel
plants and car works all over the
country are rushed with orders and
the best the Carnegie people at Pitts
burg can do for Mr.. Cromwell is to
promise him that they will have the
rails here sometime during next jan
uary. The car people are also pushed
to their limit OF course second hand
rails and cars could be purchased,
but it is the purpose of Mr.. Crom-
| we'll to put in the very best of every
thing. In fact, an up-to-date road is
to be built and operated. Three miles
of track will be laid the first year
and possibly more. and the road will
be extended from time to time as the
occasion requires.
At a meeting of the city council
last evening. Aldermen McMillen,
Grunsfeld, Beavens Harsch, Rodgers,
Hubbs and Mckee were present.
Mayor and President Harrison were
the absentees. Alderman Grunsfeld
was chairman. The city clerk read
communication from the owners of
property in southwest Albuquerque,
which has been condemned as a nui-

sponse to a council resolution. Franz
Huning's answer was at some length.
He called attention to the fact that
in order to grow crops 1t was neces-
sary to irrigate and that this was the
sole cause of the standing water on
his grounds
The council created a new office.
that of assistant city marshal, to be
appointed by the mayor at a salary
of $50 per month. This ordinance was
passed under suspension of the rules.
Harry Cooper, who has made a good
officer during the time he has been
in service, will have the plum. This
is an increase of from $40 to $50 a
month

nance that physicians report cases OF
contagious diseases within twenty
four hours after they are diagnosed
