Las Cruces, n NJ. Dec. 21-Among
the most notable incidents within the
city, the threatened litigation between
@. W. Moore, of FL PasO, and something
Cruces has had the attention OF the
community the last few days
In 1880 there was organized IN Las
Cruces the Las Cruces Park association
which, under the law. was authorized
to subdivide land within the Dona Ana
Bend Colony grant into lots and assign
the same to the residents thereof. FIJI
ty-siX blocks, each 800 feet square.
were assigned at that time and deeds
given to the respective claimants. The
deeds we're recorded in the county
clerks office, as was also the map Of
the survey authorized by the associa-
ton.
In 1905 Robert Burch went before the
justice OF the peace and made applica-
tiOn for tract of land composed of
about "a blocks, bounded on the west
by the Las Cruces Park association
property. This land had been trans
ferred until it got into the hands OF
G. w Moore, who a few days ago IN
dertook to fence It. The owners OF
Las Cruces Park property, after In
speeding the work declared that the
fence was-being constructed on bQun-
daries conflicting with about one-half
Of the Las Cruces Park lots, Whereupon
they ordered the work stopped,
The boundaries Of this c. ". Moore
Las Cruces Park association property,
the general opinion prevails that there
has been an error in the Moore survey
and that It is probable that the Moore
land Is farther to the east.
However. there is no question but
that the matter will go into the courts
for the determination Of the title The
owners Of the Las Cruces Park prop
erty are the most prominent citizens
of Las Cruces, among whom are judge
McFie, OF the supreme court OF New
Mexico: Guadalupe Ascarate, P. Moreno,

viz, II. Stevenson, T. ROuault, Mrs. L

Injured In a Fall.
John Reynolds, son Of W. c. Rey-
nolds, of Mesilla Park, fell from hay
wagon at the bridge over the aceQuia,
south Of Nesilla Park, and was severely
injured. He was sitting on the wagon
load Of hay, and the lurch OF the wagon
in driving upon the bridge threw the
boy off, and the wheels passed over his
body, breaking the bones OF both legs
near the hip.
The physician has worked for two
DAYS to keep the limbs in position to
give the bones an opportunity to knit.
On account of the fracture being so
near the hip joint and both limbs be-
ing broken, II is a very difficult mat
ter to hold the bones in position.
