LAWSUIT
LASTS 800 YEARS

\ final statement has just been made
IN a lawsuit which had been pending in
the courts Of the state OF Oaxaca for
so years.
The dispute arose between the local
authorities OF the towns of Yodocome
and Num- over the question Of the legal
boundary line between the two villages.
Both towns held titles 10 the same land.
the conflicting grants being made by
the colonial government. The titles
held by private parties were also In
voIved, and each town brought suit
against the other for the land claimed
10 be justly due II.
The suit dragged along for the first
100 years, one legal step after another
being taken by the cOntending towns
Another century passed and then an
other, and still the suit was undecided.
During all this time the people OF the
respective towns were arrayed against
each other in bitter enraity, and many
have been the armed CONFLICTS that have
taken place between the opposing fac
tons.
The father of President Porfrio Diaz
was a native OF Yodooome and stood
high in the little country community be-
cause of his mental ability. He took an
active interest IN the long-pending suit.
and during his lifetime made every
effort TO get n nnRl decision OF the
case lie was unsuccessful. and the
years dragged By. President Dlaz
gave the matter bis personal at
tention not ieaE ego, asa The ancient
records relating to no iaad grants and
the conflicting boundary we're o.-efully
examined.
The matter was then laid before the
people OF the two towns. and after
MANY conferences a settlement Of the
case was reached and The suit in court
was formally dismissed, II is said to
have held place upon the court docket
