application to rush the duck or, as the
papers describe it, chase the growler, as
l am one of the many in this city who
enjoys getting my can of beer and sit
ting at home reading and drinking beer
out of said can, as l would rather do
than spend my evenings in a barr oom."

against GROWERS, but l haven't the
nerve to make written application

CLAIM UNDER OLD GRANT
Title to Town Site Based on
Tattered and Torn
Document.

From tattered and torn document,
written in 1879, the Supreme Court Is en-
deavoring to ascertain whether the heirs
of the first settlers of Tome, n NJ, in
that year are entitled to the land upon
which the town is located. or whether
the title is in the municipality. The case
was submitted to it for decision just be-
fore the holidays.
Petition to the Governor.
In the paper it is discernible that Gov.
Mendoza of the Kingdom of New Mex
ico" received a petition from twenty
eight persons, asking for the grant be-
cause SO many footpaths encroached
upon them in the town of Albuquerque
that they were unable to extend their Gull
tivation and stock raising there. A de-
scription by Capt. Juan Gonzales Baz,
senior Justice and war captain of Albu-
querque, of his putting these petitioners
in possession Of the new grant can be
deciphered.
Difficult Problem.
Between the ravages Of mice and the
uncertainty of the meaning of the
grantor, the question Of whether the in
diyidual settlers or the settlement as a
unit got the land is not easy of ascer-
tainment.

Police to Watch for Minors.

Strict watch is to be maintained by the
police tonight for violations of the law
which prohibits the sale of liquor to
minors, it being realized that many
minors probably will be among those in
the crowds around flowing bowls to
watch the old year out and the new
year in.
Albert E. Shoemaker, attorney for the
Anti-SaloOn League, called upon Chief
of Police Sylvester this morning and ask
ed that the police be instructed to pay
particular attention tonight to places
where watchers will celebrate the birth
of new year with exuberant spirits.
He informed Maj. Sylvester that he had
seen many minors enter hotel room
where liquors were sold a few weeks ago

First Signs of Spring.

New York, March 2O-Flaring cir
Gus posters adorning billboards and
dead walls from the Battery to the
Bronx remind the Gothamite these
days that the coolest winter in years
has become a matter of history and
that spring is surely here at last. No
more infallible sign of the change in
the seasons could be had than the an
nouncement that the circus has come
to town. Fresh from the winter
quarters at Bridgeport, the Barnum
and Bailey aggregation of animals
and acrobats, riders and clowns, has
taken possession of Madison Square
Garden and has everything in readi-
ness for the opening of the two

A petition addressed to the village
council of Cass Lake is being cir
culated asking for the establishment
of municipal court in Cass Lake.
The petition has been signed by all
the attorneys in town and by citizens
generally. 1t is argued in favor of
the movement that municipal Judge
would have jurisdiction in cases to
the amount of $500, while a justice
of the peace has jurisdiction only in
cases where the amount involved does
not exceed 800. It is believed that
the establishment of such court
would tend to expedite court business
for the whole county and relieve the
district court of great many cases
which can now only be tried in it.
It is reported that about three
fourths of the district court cases are
over sums between 500 and $500,
and litigants under the present sys-
TEN have to wait for the district
court sessions which occur only twice
a year in order to get their cases ad-
Indicated. In the event that the
council takes favorable action it is
believed that it is practically the un-
animous opinion of people here that
Judges Ives will be recommended to
Governor Eberaart for the position of
municipal Judge. He was municipal
