Another Outrage"

1t isn't necessary to 20 to Indiana to
find "white caps;" we have them here.
Nor is it necessary to go to South Caro-
lima or Mississippi to find "outrages"
against the colored man. They are per-
petrated here also and we incline to the
belief for less reason than in the south.
How do we know? Well; that's easily
answered. Wednesday night party
of men, or boys, or both, went to the
house near the depot which has been
occupied for some months by Frank
Brown and "Prof." Jim Hamilton and
completely wrecked it, breaking doors,
windows, ETC.. and throwing the furni-
ture out in tho yard, at the same time
serving notice on them to git And
they "got;" and are still getting" we
guess.
We have no objection to their "get-
ting;" it's the manner of it we object to.
If they have done anything to be pun
inshed for why not let the law take it's
course and punish them. We under
stand the grand jury returned an in
dictment against them for maintaining
a nuisance" Why was it not served?
Why is it necessary to descend to mob
especially with "nigger?"

occurrence.

A final decree was filed by Judge
McFie forever quleting title TO the
Plaza Colorado grant In Rio ArrtDa
county. This case has been pendin,
In the district court since 1900. when
a suit in partition was filed to quiet
title.
This probably was the most com.
plicated case Of the kind ever tried In
the territory. In 1893 a gran, wGs

brothers. Ignacio and Juan Lorenzo
Valdez The grant was confirmed by
the United States court Of private
land claims and contains 1878 acres.
Several hundred ancient Spanish
deeds were presented and passed up
on by the court and many points here
tofore In doubt were settled. There
was long legal fight over the moan.
ing OF many OF the Spanish deeds ana
great mass Of testimony was taken.
Some OF the attorneys claimed that
many Of the deeds conveyed, besides
parcels OF farming lands, undivided
interests In the grant.
A peculiar question was raised in
This case. The principal grantee was
Rosalia Valdez, an unmarried woman.

Grant Finally Settled

Ii was shown by the testimony that
che had two children whose b sirs
claim 10 be the present owners of the
interest of Rosalia Valdez In The
grant. II appears hat shs lived with
priest at one time and the referee
reported al q conclusion of law that
the heirs Of the children Of Rosal.a
Valdez were not entitled to inherit
because, under the Sapnish law the
children Of the clergy were declared
to have no inheritable blood.
The heirs filed exceptions to this
finding. The court sustained them
and decided that the tstimony did not
show who was the father OF ;he child
ren OF Rosalia Valdez and that II
having been proven that they were
her natural children, under the Span.
ish law they were entitled to inherit
the mothers property and no infer.
ence should be INDUCED In TO disin.

Rosalia Valdez.
Under this decision the heirs Of Ro-

ST PETERSBURG. Aug. So.-The
long expected battle Of Lao Yang
has begun and the two armies are
now fighting what will probably be
the decisive battle Of the campaign.
The Japanese armies are attacking
Kuropatkin's forces upon his chosen
ground and his friends here are con-
fident that, having accepted battle
he will defeat the Japanese. In a
brief telegram from Kuropatkin re-
ceiyed today, he says that the Jap
anese began an attack yesterday
at noon, the Russian out
posts falling back upon the main
land. The heaviest fighting was TAX
ing place when the dispatch was sent.
The Russians suffered principally
from the sehrapnel fire of the Japs.
The Japs selected the Mikado's birth
day for decisive battle and it will
noL be surprising II today is also sig
nalized by grand assault on Port
Arthur.
