willard. n. NJ. Aug. 27.-More Or
less confusion has been prevailing in
this irving town during the lat few
days following the discovery that come
doubt exists ar to the validity Of the
titles held by purchasers Of town
tracts. The territorial authorities
have failed TO recognize as valid the
scrip held by the Willard Land and
Improvement company which laid out

men in the territory, Is the chief owner

place being associated with Mr..
Becker.
When Mr.. Becker acquired the land
some five years ago he failed TO place
on record the scrip which he received
from the Indians with whom the
transaction was made. Since tho or

Mr.. Becker has been cndeavOring tu

supreme court and should IL refuse

PEELED to refund the purchase money
to an who have purchased land IN the
tOwnsite. The purchasers. however.
were all given receipts for their money
with the understanding that they were
TO receive title to the land or their
money back.

they have taken forcible posses

COAL IS ACTIVE;
TAKES A FIFTY

Fact That One Dealer Under

Is Albuquerque going to be the
scene - a coal war;
VIII the time come when the Com
mon Geezer viii be given a green
trading stamp with each ton and pre-
scented with a premium at the end of
the month?
Yesterday morning the advertise
ments Of the local dealers showed that
the long threatened rise Of fifty cents
had come to pass. There it was, star
ing menaclngly az the defenseless
public:
American Block, e ton $500.

This morning it will be noted that
IN one establishment the black dia-
monds have taken "A slump. Down

10 the price of DAY before yesterday.

This in itself Is enough to bewilder
the consumer. Nevertheless 10 gives
him a ray of hope. But behold in the
advertisement Of another well known
dealer, the slump doth not appear.
There is still yesterdays raise Of fifty
cents.
American Block, per ton $500.

Let the poor consumer brace up and
grasp az this straw.
Maybe the millennium has come and
there is going 10 be a coal war.
Perhaps the sinister rumor Of a
combination has been but the morbid
fancy Of some doWn-trodden head of
