TESTING OWNERSHIP
OF CITY LAND
(From Thursdays DallyJ

A case which involves the owner
shin OF the most valuable unoccupied
residence property in Amarillo and
which promises to entail long litiga-
ton came into court for the first
time yesterday in the demurrer suit
filed by the attorneys for II. b,
Sanborn ct al asking that the city Of
Amarillo be restrained from prose
cutting suit for the ownership Of the
tract known as the college campus
The circumstances giving rise. to
the litigation have been outlined in
the Daily Panhandle several times.
me college campus is the vacant
property four blocks in extent lying
between Twelfth and Fourteenth
streets on Polk, Taylor and Fill
more. This tract was promised in
the early days Of Amarillo to a col
lege which at one time was promoted
for Amarillo The college scheme
was never carried into execution and
the bonus gifts from the town were
never collected. The tract promised
as a college campus had, however,
already been marked on plat that
was generally used by the land Of
fices of the town and after the fail
ure of the college scheme, was left
on the map designated as college
campus"
After the first boom broke in
Amarillo the land was of compare
lively little value and continued un-
occupied. For two years about 1897
the tract was occupied by a private
academy under the name of Amarillo
college. This institution, however,
leased the ground from H. B. San
born. After the present rise in city
real estate began, II. B. Sanborn re-
plated the four blocks and put them
on the market the same as his other
property here. Much of the tract
was sold and is now in the hands
of individual property owners. The
suit of the city for the retention of
the grounds for public purposes pre-
vents H. B. Sanborn from giving
clear title to the land. AT a con-
servative estimate the land Is now
easily worth 100000.
In the litigation now pending,
city Attorney w. f. Gee is being
assisted by s. H. Madden in the suit
for the city and Gustavus & Jackson
are representing the defendant, H.
B. Sanborn. Individual property
owners are represented in the case

BAPTIST MAKE
BUILDING SURE
(From Mondays Daily)

(rTOm Mondays Dally)
At an enthusiastic after-meetlng
yesterday, the congregation OF the
First Baptist church clinched the ar
guments in favor OF their new build
ing by raising over $4,000 In addi-
ton to what has already been pledg-
ed. The amount now raised is over
$4,000 in addition to the lots on
Polk street which alone are worth
in the neighborhood OF $1,000.
The plans which have been adopt
ed for the new building call for a
handsome edifice that the architects
estimate to cost nearly $4,000. San
guinet & Stats, the big architects OF
Dallas and Houston, are the design
ers Of the building. The site for
the building is the two lots on the
northwest corner of Polk and Eighth
and in the same block with the new
Methodist church building.
Today the building and canvassing
committee for the congregation have
been energetlcally pushing the can
vas as begun yesterday and the mem
bers hope before the end OF the
week to have enlisted subscribers for
the entire amount Of the building.
