 The court decided adversely to Ralph H. Cam eron's suit brought by him in August last against the Grand Canyon Railway company to quiet his so-caled title to about half the sta- tion grounds at Grand Canyon, including the Bright Angel hotel and many other buildings The court held that the title of the railroad company had become complete before Cameron made the location of the Cape Horn mining claim. upon which he relied for title.
 The grand jury, which was in session two days, reported eight indictments, and it is highly probable that court will hold over until the latter part of next week.
 The first case on the criminal docket was that of the Territory William Morgan Morgan Is charged with the robbery of one Ch.s Boes, and was indicted by the last grand jury in con- junction with "Scotty" Bruce and his trial re- suited in a hungjury. 'Scotty,' however, was not so fortunate, and is serving twenty year term for his connection with the hold up. Boes 1t will be remembered was found in the rear of the Bank hotel in a very badly battered condi- ton, and Scotty and Morgan. whom he charged with the crime, were arrested at Ash Fork some days later. Sheriff Henderson brought Bruce from Yuma few days ago a witness in the Case. Bruce maintains that Morgan is inno- cent and that he was assisted in the crime by one Steve Tucker, who makes his appearance in the case for the first time, and as his wherea- bouts are unknown there is but little proba- pil1ty that he will ever be brought to trial.
 The case Of Wm Emett, charged with the larceny of horse, is the next on the docket, and that Of James Emett, his father, for like effense, will be the next to be called. The Emetts hail from Lees Ferry, where James Emett operates the ferry across the Colorado river. Both men have heretofore borne excel. lent regulations and were well known here James Emett is connected with County Re- eorder Hibben in his recent goat venture. These two cases will in all probability occupy the courts time during the balance of the week and they will be sternly contested. Attorneys Doe. Jones and Ling are defending the Emetts
