LAND CASE COMES UP AT
 WASHINGTON
Suit Involving Riparian Rights in the Boquillas Grant Before the United States Supreme Court.

TOMBSTONE. Feb. 1G.-Coionel H. !. Pickett of the law firm of Pickett X Bowman. left this morning for
 Washington where he goes to attend the session Of the United States Su
 preme Court having two cases to ST. que before that body. He received
 word that the cases in which he is interested would be taken up by the
 court the latter part of this month
 or the early part Of the month of
 March.
 One Of the eases in which tho 0olonel will appear before the court
 is that of the Boquillas Land and Cat
 ,ie company ys. J. x. Curtis, ct al.
 The case involves the question of ri parian rights and is one that will be of material interest to . number oi settlers throughout tho territory. Col onel Pickett appears for the settlers and maintains that Inc question of riparian rights does not apply to the Territory of Arizona In his opinion he has been borne out by the decls- ions that were given in his favor ili the District court of this district ana on appeal tho case was affirmed by the Supreme court Of the territory. The case involves the right of the settlers below the BoQuilias Land Grant on the San Pedro to use an old ditch that was taken out Of the San Pedro before the land grant was con frmed by yhe land court.
 Another case that the colonel will appear in is that of the Injunction Of the City of Tombstone ys. the Hua- A since the water company was threat
 ening to take up it's pipe line into this city and run a line into Bisbee in
 stead. The city through Messrs. Pick
 tt and Bowman had an injunction
 'ssued against the water company on
 the grounds that the granting of a franchise to the water company for fifty years was virtually an agreement
 or contract and that the water com pany had no right to remove the piDs l lines or to eut off the supply Of water that was used in the city. The case
 was tried in the local court before l Judge Doan and the injunction made perpetual The case was appealed to
 the Supreme court by the Water com pany and the colonel was successful
 in having the opinion of Judge Doan affirmed by the other associate jus
 tices of the Supreme Court Of the
 Territory.

 Colonel Pickett expects to be gone from the city for at leass a noatn, and perhaps six weeks.
