Through Compromise-CIears
Situation There.

New York, Sept. 9-The details of
the settlement of the Republican con.
troversy in Tennessee, by which T.
Asbury Wright, Of lockwood, the nom.
inee of one Republican faction for the
governorship withdraws from the race.
and leaves clear field to G. w. Till
man, of Nashville, have been received
here by Frank H. Hitchcock. Tillman
was the nominee of what was known
as the regular party organization. He
has the support of practically all the
members of the state committee while
Wright was the choice Of the Brown
low element. The arrangement OF the
dispute, which leaders admitted had
threatened to have an adverse effect
upon the presidential campaign in the
state, is the one suggested by Chairman
Hitchcock recently and under 1t the
Brownlow element will have equal rep
resentation on the state committee and
the electoral ticket, Mr.. Wright relin-
gushing the nomination for governor
and becoming one of the electors at
large. AS result Of this settlement in
Tennessee, Mr.. Hitchcock is greatly
encouraged over the situation in West
Virginia. This case is not unlike that
in Tennessee and the national leaders
expect to bring about a similar settle
ment.

COURT SIGNS DECREE
IN PARTITION SUIT
Rights Of Settlers Living Within Sc
bastin-Martin Land Grant Fully
Respected.

In the partition of the Sebastln-M
tin Land Grant, in which decree was
signed yesterday by Judge John r. Nc.
Fie, every possible consideration was
given to the desires as to the rights OF
the people who live within the Grants
boundaries or have an interest by in
heritance therein. 1t includes the vii.
lagos Of La Villita, Los Luceros, La
Joya, Velarde, Huique, La Canoa, Ojo
Zarco and an almost continuous row
Of farms on both sides of the Rio
Grande. In order to protect all the
persons living there in the possession
of their land, the court ordered a sur
vey to be made by U. s. Deputy Sur
veyor J. H. Walker mapping and de-
scribing all the tracts of occupied
lands, wherever situated.
To determine boundaries, nearly a
hundred witnesses were examined and
about two hundred deeds put in evid-
ence, and the total expense Of the sur
vey exceeds $2,25O. However, it is
worth more than it's cost as 1t settles
all titles satisfactorily for all time.
Another feature Of the case is, that
by consent of all parties, SO of the
owners of interests, most of whom live
near La Joya, instead of having these
interests take part in a general sale,
have had them united and have obtain
ed from the court decree giving them
the equivalent fraction of the land Of
the grant. Put together they amounted
to about one-twentieth Of the entire
title, and so the court has awarded
to them one-twentieth of the area of
the common lands of the grant, being a
strip of land along the north bound
airy, one mile in width and about three
and three-fourths miles long. This
gives these eighty-nine parties tract
from which they can get fire wood, etc.
as they have been accustomed to doing
in the past. OF course they have to
pay one-twentieth Of the back taxes,
cost Of the survey, suit. etc., but they
are allowed ninety days in which to
collect this money which will amount
to something less than $4O0.
BY these acts of fairness and justice
to the people, the in feeling that has
been occasioned in the cases Of some
other grants, was avoided and every
one obtained an equal benefit from the
settling of the title.
J. Amado L1lcero, RI A. Serna and
Rev. w. H. Rischel were appointed as
commissioners in partition by Judge
McFYe.
