A very unique case was heard before
judge Frank Parker from Luna county.
The case covers a period of % years. /
At that time A. w Bailey started to !
build a railroad from Deming to the
interior of Mexico, through Luna coun- Z
ty. The company put in about 100
miles of grade, and ceased operations.
The travelling public took advantage {
Of the grade established and made use J
of it for a highway through the MINI /
bres valley; when rains washed out a 4
culvert or crossing the county COM /
missiOners made the necessary repairs !
In fact, since this time il has been a 4
county road, and lately the county 4
commissioners decided to extend. the :
road and put the entire grade in con- !
ditiOn, at which the old company re- /
vived and filed an Injunction suit 4
The case was taken into the courts and (
work was stopped on the road.
The county commissioners of Luna
county claim that the public is entitled
to the road, through a use for a period {
Of 20 years and more, according to law,
the road contends that il is the proper /
ty of the old company. !
