Tombstone Just i"A-knockins'
 Right Along

Amidst the inevitable ex- citement attending wildcat booms, Tombstone just keeps "a knockin' right along"
 While stocks in other local- ities flash to the skies like so many rockets, then fall into the sea of nepenthe. Tomb stone just keeps ''knockin' right along"
 While mighty strikes are made only to pale into ridicul- ous fakes a few weeks later. Tombstone just keeps Ia kncckin' right along
 While labor troubles and discontent and mutual dis trust exist in other sections of the mighty mining field. Tombstone just keeps ia knockin' right a.ong.
 When the frost nips the peaches,
 And the cut-warms nip the corn,
 And the old dry-iarmer "cpsses"
 The day that he was born;
 And occasionally diversity is handed
 In doses good and strong.
 Dear old Tombstone simply keepe
 "A-knockin' right along."-
 This even tenor of prOsperi- ty, this constant. this uni form, this ever abiding pro gress to the good, will event ually impress the sober-mind- ed business man and investor all over the southwest and then some.
 The city and camp Of Tomb stone is not listed in the cate gory of mushroom communi- ties, which are ablaze with enterprise today and sr1ould. ering in sullen ruin tomor- rev. but ever progressing, quietIy and uniformly as the rising tide, she gives promise of a permanence that will out live generations.
 This is the situation in Tombstone, yesterday. today, and as far as the eye of com- mercial prophecy can probe the future.

The Passing of
 The Cowboy


 With the westward march of economic progress the cow boy is becoming a picturesque figure of the past. The cattle cas surplants the long marches on the hoof to markets no longer distant in time from the places of production. and on the ranges the wire fence les sens the usefulness of the roundup and the branding iron. This fact is emphasized at the moment by the aband- onment of a project to hold a cowboy convention at Sey- mour, Texas.
 In 1897 there were assembl- ed at that place no fewer than 20. 900 cowboys. white and red. Now t is estimated not more than . few hundred could be gathered together. The passing of the cowboy. | ike that of the Indian, is .

Decision Assyhst Applicants Under
Torrens' Land Law.

On Friday afternoon Judge Henry
Hunter Of the district court render
cd his decision in the cases under
the law passed some years ago en-
titled Registration of Land Titles. !"
commonly known as the Torrens
and law. This act was passed pri-
marily with the intention of render
ing unnecessary. lengthy abstrcats OF
title. hut has also been used as Q
means OF quieting titles. 1t was for
this latter purpose that these cases
were INSTITUTED In Baca county.
The were sixty-one cases involving
100 quarter sections Of land. The
applicants or plaintiffs held
under tax deeds and applied to
have their titles registered and had
their applications been allowed. the
registrations would have resulted the
same as a decree quieting titles
Judge Hunter held that the taa
deeds were void and that payment
of taxes had not been made LONG
enough to show "Color OF utle.'
! He further ruled that even II the
title did constitute 'Color q title -
they would not be subject to regis
tration because the law contemplat
es that a tile. that Is to say lega
title. only can be registered.
Judge Hunter remarked that hi
sympathies were with the plaintiff
but he could see no way to gran
incl application and according.
overruled the report Of the refere'
who had reported fayorably and dis
missed the application.
1t is probable that the cases will
be taken to the supreme court.
