Decision for Plaintiff in the Inter.
esting Case Of hoskins vs.. Roth
Several Exceedingly Fine Points Of Law Ruled
Upon. Case Will Probably 90 to the Supreme
Court of the Territory

taken up in the spring of 1891 by c.
E. Norcross and he had filed in the
probate clerks Office such state

contended that this declaration
was sufficient to constitute color of
title, and to set the statute of limit
ations in motion in favor of the oc-
cupant.
The court held otherwise and that
to aid the statue of limitations. but
competent to prove possession.
Norcros and Roth had held actual
possession of the land for ten continu-
GUS years, but inasmuch as there
was no paper title to aid such posses
sion it was held to give no rights
whatever This is a very important
point as there are probably hun
dred or more such papers recorded in
this county They are wholly worth
less, however, to aid in making title
under the statute of limitations. as
now decided The attorneys for Roth
contended that the statute of 1893
required suit to be brought in six
months after the passage of that act
The court overruled this contention.
That question will also go TO the
|supreme court
AS the result of the rulings in this
case, under the statute, for which the
courts are in no way responsible, pos

there is some paper title and the pay

A large and enthusiastic audience
assembled at the Duncan opera house
last night to witness the production
of Sheridan Knowles mastery com.
edy, "The Love Chase" by the stu
dents of the Normal university. The
great demands made upon performers
by the comedies Of Sheridan Knowles
naturally left the impression that
amateurs as a whole are not quite
equal to the task of mastering and
expressing suitably the elegant diction
and wit of that master builder OF
drama. But last nights intelligent
and very meritorious performance
surely dispersed that Illusion. The
play last night was given with zest
and evident understanding that was
a revelation to even cid students OF
the drama.
The stage settings were appro.

ing. and the reading Of the lines very
good even for the advanced students
of elocution. The interest OF the au-
dience was closely held from the be-
ginning to the rather late close at

The court in the case of Hoskins VS..
Roth in which the jury has just re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff, two
very important questions were de-
cided by the court.
It is understood that on these ques-
tions the defendant will take the case
to the supreme court, as he gave
notice of his intention to appeal. Up
to March 16, 1899, the law, as de-
cided by both the supreme court OF
New Mexico, and of the United States
was, that an occupant of land who had
been for ten years in possession OF
such land for ten years he become
the owner of such land under the
statute of limitations.
1t was not as the law then was
necessary for such occupant to have
any deed to the land or to have paid
taxes thereon. 1t was sufficient to
give him perfect title that he had
for ten years actually held possession.
The legislature in 1889 amended
this law and by an act approved
March 16 of that year. provided that
the statute of limitations should not
operate in favor of one in possession
of land, unless he held color OF title
that is, some paper title. deed OF
convey once or the like and had also
paid all the taxes assessed against
such land
Under that act payment OF taxes
and possession alone are not suficlen'
to give any rights whatever Thert
must be also some paper ute sum
cient to constitute in law color O
title, the possession OF the land, ant
payment Of taxes. These three mus
concur and exist, or occupation ever
for fifty years is worthless to estap
