Fighting
For Control
Southern Pacific and San

Measures to Possess
Important Strip in Ar
iona.

Regarding the row In Arizona be-
tween the Southern Pacifl and Santa
Fe railroad companies, Arizonans now
IN Los Angeles say such a contest Y
er has been known in the Territory
or anywhere else in the west. Each
side has several hundred picked men
in the field and many Of the despera.
does engaged are the choicest profess
sional gun fighters in the business.
The trophy at stake is a strip Of
land about twenty miles long that
when laid with rails, will give con
troll to the successful faction Of the
ella as well as the Salt River valleys
While the main Ripley and Harri-
man corporations, as such. are not
known in the controversy, the two fac.
tions at war have the backing, one of
the Santa Fe, and the other Of the
Southern Pacific.
At this time the outcome depends
gzEG&&%&&Gt HEE@ E&#s&# &EEA&#
upon a ruling expected to be made by
the land Office as to which side first
filed its maps of record in Washington,
the land in controversy being part Of
the public domain.
1t was said today that If the South
ern Pacific is worsted in this phase Of
the situation, there will be a new
race to obtain possession Of what Is in
dispute, and there may be a pitched
battle between the opposing forces be.
fore the matter is decided.
According to claims made, both
sides filed their maps niaWshldo-eo
sides filed their maps in Washington
within a few hours Of each other, and
each claims to have been at the nat
