Basis of Suit.

The suit is brought under the pro-
visions of the act of congress passed
July 81, 1865, requiring the department
OF interior 70 exempt mineral bearing
lands in issuing patents to railroads.
The government viii contend that OF
10000 scres of land on the main line
of the Southern Pacific railroad, in
California, 1926 acres are mineral
bearing and must revert to the public
domain. The land is, for the most
part, in. the Coalinga oil field, and is
under the lease to the Kern Trading
and OIL company, subsidiary corpora
ton OF the Southern Pacific, and a
joint defendant in the suit, with many
other oil companies and individuals.
In addition 10 the mineral land speci.
fled the complaint recites, 1900 acres
OF mineral bearing land already has
been sold by the railroad The fol.
lowing is the list OF defendants:

UTTERLY FALSE
Runners that there Is Small Pox
In Culberts0n are without
Foundation

The rumor was spread during the last
week that there were several cases OF small
pox in Culbertson, the story being that
some Indians had come here and had been
found to be infected with small pox and
were quarantiued here
This story was spread first at a ball
game last SUNDAY at Sioux Pass on the
South Side. but bv whom we have been
unable to find out
The rumor Is utterly false. and was un-
donbtedly spread for the purpose Of injur-
ing the Fourth Of July celebration IN Gull
bertson.
The Culberison Board OF Health were
interviewed by the Searchlight reporter.
DIR. Collinson, the chairman OF the Board.
said that there was absolutely no truth in
the story. that there was no case of small
pox in Culberison or in the vicinity OF CuI.
bertson. ana not only was there no case of
small pox. but there was no cases of apy
infectious or contagious disease within
many miles of here. In fact the whole
community was enjoying the best of health.
about the only cases for the doctors being
from births and accidents
The following siaiemcn, was made by
the Board Of Health:
We. the Cnlberison Board of Health, be-
ing informed that there was a rumor afoat
that small pox existed IN Culbertson, deny
the rumor IN toto. The story is utterly
false. There is not case OF small pox or
case of any other contagious or infectious
disease in Culber,son or vicinity.
