High School Site Offered Free

The board of trustees of the Union high school district will consider at their next meeting, to be held soon, two propositions for site for the pro- posed high school building. The city of Yuma has ordered sold block l21, between Fourth aud Fifth streets and Sixth and Seventh avenues, for 5000, to be used for such purpose, though it may be bid upon by private parties. This block is GOO by 300 feet in dimen- sions. Capt. o. F. Townsend has offer ed the high school trustees a free site, size 400 by 300 feet, in the Townsend tract, between Third and Fourth streets and Fifteenth and Sixteenth avenues. While this is considerably beyond the city limits, the fact is taken into con- sideratiOn that much of the attendance of the high school comes from the val ley. The members of the board will make decision upon the respective merits of the two sites

Yielded Prize Cup to Blsbee

The controversy between Yuma and Risbee fire companies over the posses sion of the silver cup awarded as prize to the winner of the dry test hose race at the Territorial Fair at Phoenix each year, which has been in progress for two weeks, was adjusted satisfactorily to all parties concerned. Yuma won the cup last year and it was brought here. This year Yuma declined to compete and the trophy was won by the Bisbee contestants. Chief Newton Parks of the local fire company refused to yield up the cup on demand from Bisbee without formal notification from the Territorial Fair commission, which finally came to hand. The prize has therefore passed into the possession of the Bisbee company for the ensuing year.

The Yuma baseball team of the Des. ert League met It's third defeat iu the third game of the schedule played here Sunday with the El Centro club.

Yuma had the best battery, but it's efforts were dis. counted. The visitors gave a good exhibition of systematic and disciplined organization and won easily by score of to l.

ALLEGED FLAW IN SOUTHERN
 PACIFIC LAND TITLES

District Attorney w. F. Timmons claims to have discovered a flaw in the title to the Southern Pacifc's realty holdings in Yuma, past and present.
 In 1877 the common cOunril of the town of Yuma deeded 10 the railroad company 100 acres of town let's in con- sideration of the construction of a bridge across the Colorado river within a certain period of time. The time stipulation was not complied with, but the bridge was built and the grant al- lowed to stand. In 1893 the Southern Pacific brought suit against the mayor and council of Yuma to quiet title to the 100 acres named and got decree in it's favor. 1t failed, however, to make parties to the suit the mayor as trustee for the inhabitants of the town of Yuma, for whose use and beneft.the land in question was originally dedi- cated. District Attorney Timmons holds that the $. P.'s title is therefore defective and he has held up the deed and abstract of the court house site-a part of the grant to the railroad-until Attorney General Wright has, passed upon the question, which opinion should be obtainable within a week.
