REFUGIo LAND GRANT.

Anthony, n NJ, March H.
Editor Ell Paso Herald:
In reference to a report in your
valuable paper of February 16, of the
passage of a bill in congress recently
intended to correct injustice to bona
fide settlers whose lands were thrown
out of the Refugio colony grant at
last session of the court OF private
land claims, established by the United
States government to settle claims to
lands given under grants from the
Mexican government 1 wish to make
a correction, and place the credit where
it is due.
Some years ago Mrs. w. K. Morley,
who had some interest in land thrown
out of the grant, seeing the injustice
that the decision had wrought. espe-
cially TO many who were struggling
with flood and drouth to make a bare
living and could not afford to send
lawyer to Washington to protect their
interests, took up their case herself,
and singled handed and alone went to
Washington at her own expense to
plead their cause, and succeeded in
winning friends for the cause in both
houses of congress, and having a bill
drawn up that would have given the
relief asked couple of years ago, had
not some parties from Ell Paso shown
action at that term.
The Ell Paso bill was disapproved,
and meanwhile congress adjourned
and it was necessary to begin over
again After another interview with
the department and assisted by senator
William Smith of Michigan, the land
office consented to the very liberal bill
which is now law. Great credit is
due Mrs. Morley for her energy and
perseverance IN securing interest and
pushing matters to a successful issue.
To senator william Alden Smith Of
Michigan and congressman Diekema,
also of Michigan, Is due the thanks Of
every one interested in the bill for
their aid in having the bill as 1t now
stands become a law which will give
the bona fide settlers title to their
property from the United States gov

field stands, far and high away, for a
home-run, and evened up the count.
The Giants, who were cheered on by
their home crowd, eager with the ex-
pectation Of victory, and confident, sud-
denly changed, when they were thrown
on the defensive, and the tenth saw
them resorting to desperate tactics
Matty, who is class personified. had held
the Athletics, but II was on attack that
New York depended, and Snodgrass, a
minor league player who has happened
into fast company. was first up. Once
before in this series Snodgrass has tried
to cut Baker down or make him quit
playing third base.
Hit ny Pitched Ball.
Three times before he has purposely
allowed pitched balls to hit him. He
led the inning. nd Intentionally and pur-
posely put his arm in front of a pitched
ball, and started TO run to first. Bren-
nan, who was umpiring hack of the bat,
called him back. McGraw and Doyle ran
at the umpire. but he stuck to his de-
cision that the batter had been hit pur-
posely, and forced Snodgrass to hit
again. He drew a pass, on three more
balls, two near the plate If not over It.
and he went to first base dancing, and
calling taunts TO Coombs
Murray sacrificed and a moment later
a pitched ball half escaped from Lapp,
who had been catching grand ball Snod-
grass saw his opportunity and dashed
for third. but Lapp got the ball in time,
threw perfectly, and got Snodgrass oy
ten feet. The Giant outfielder took a
flying leap at Baker. chopped his spiked
shoe into his legs, tore both legs, and
with blood running into his stockings
Baker tagged him out and walked back
to the third base.
For moment the crowd sat still. Then
ensued one OF the most remarkable DEM
Onstratlons OF sportsmanship ever seen.
The crowd has been for New York all
the way, but like a tempest the hIsees
and roars Of anger arose and swept the
stands. II seemed as IL half the crowd
was kissing or screaming with anger over
the act, and as Snodgrass came of the
field the crowd roared. booed, and hissed
and there were some healthy curses.

And from that on the crowd, that had
pulled for the Giants. had cheered them
and begged them to win. turned and
Perhaps II didn't have any effect. Or
the effect was imagtnary-but, any
how. in the eleventh inning the Giants
broke.
Tonight New York is in gloom. The
baseball men think that with Matty
beaten, the Athletics confident, and with
thf champions showing them all the
class in every direction. the series is as
good as finished and New York beaten.
And very few, even Giant rooters, re-
gTet the condition. Coombs had every
thing. plus two-R wonderful burst OF
speed, a grand curve baIl-and he used
them perfectly. The day, which was dark
and gloomy. helped him, and made his
fast ball more deadly. Matty did not
seem as good as usual. II is a wonder
that the Athletics didn't get a lot more

shaky infield. and outfield and score a
