The next afternoon the princess

COURT DENIES ADAMS
PETITION AGAINST TOWN
Petitioners Seek to Segregate
Land From Corporate
Limits But + all.

The petition of the Adams brothers
to segregate certain lands from coporate
limits of the town of Gunnison has been
denied by the county court. The hear
ing came up before the court about two
weeks ago and consumed three days,
but the case was not decided by the
court until last Thursday. There were
two cases against the town by which
meet land. One of them involved
stretch of land east of the main part of
the town and along Tomich avenue,
the other involved tract Of land lying
in the southeast part of the town.
Attorney Sprigg Shackleford and
George Hetherington, city attorney
represented the town, while Adams
brothers were represented by j. M.
MeDougal.
The court held in these cases that
because the city maintained streets
along and adjoining this land, it could
not be segregated from the corporate
limits Of the town. The statute which
provides for the disconnection Of land
from the city limits outlines a special
proceeding and provides that the petit
tioners must conform with certain con-
ditions before the land can be discon-
nected. These conditions are that the
petition shall show to the court that the
land sought 10 be disconnected shall con
tain an area Of twenty or more acres
upon or adjacent to the border Of the
town. The petition must show further
that the petitioners are the owners Of
the land. and that no part Of the land
has been plated into lots or blocks as a
part or addition to the town, and that
all the taxes or assessments due upon
the land have been paid. The statute
provides further that whenever a city
or town has maintained streets, lights
or other public utilities for the period
of three years through or adjoining the
land the owners shall not be entitled to
have the land segregated. The supreme
court has held that the public utilities
referred to in the statute does not mean
that the city must maintain all Of these
utilities and holds that the maintaining
Of any one of these utilities is sufficient
TO deny the owners the right TO have
the land disconnected.
IL was on this latter provision relative
TO the maintaining of streets that the
county court denied the Adams brothers
the right 10 have their lands segregated
from the town limits In the findings
of the court, all of the other provisions
were complied with by the petitioners.
Any action for the disconnection of
land from the city or town is a special
proceeding and the county court where
the action must be instituted, can go nc
I further than to determine whether OF
not the petitioners have complied with
the statute. If they have complied
with the statute, then, IT is mandatory
upon the court to issue a degree discon.

have not complied with the provision.

strike SITUATION IS n
MsTeiTtD At DUTIES
District Attorney, Federal
Captain and Sheriff Go TO
Buttes--Evepthing Q,iet.

Captain Parker, of the federal army,
District Attorney VIM. Weiser. and
Sheriff Pat Hanlon went to Crested
Butte "Wednesday 30 investigate the
strike conditions there and to meet with
officials Of the mine operators and the
officials Of the union. General manager
n. Ii. Neitzel of the c. H. a l. and
John Cribbs, a superintendent Of the
company represented the company. Ii
is said that the object of the investga-
tiOn was to determine what action
should be taken as to the importing Of
labor into the county. The present
standing federal order Is that before a
man shall be put to work in one of the
mines in the strike district, he shall
understand the conditions and be made
to understand that a strike is in pro-
gress. Whether the government will
go farther than this order, and forbid
the importation of any labor or whether
this order Is it stands now will be de-
lnitely enforced, is not known at pre-
sent, but it is said that the government
will take some definite action in this
regard in q few days.
The district attorney and the sheriff
have handled this situation Of the in
coming labor up to the present time,
but it seems that there has become a
necessity for some change on account
of the demands of the mine owners,
and the sending of the federal govern
ment of a captain here to confer with
the mine operators and union men and
to investigate conditions, indicates that
Uncle Sam will take charge of this
particular situation as to the importing
of men to the coal camps at the Buttes
and at Baldwin.
The state and federal troops while in
the Buttes investigated the question Of
allowing the celebration on the fourth,
and il was determined not to stop il as
everything seemed to be quiet and as
the miners at Ruby will not participate
at the festivals at the Buttes. Ii is
said that a celebration has been plann-
ed for Ruby. A dance floor is being put
in shape there and the superintendent
of the company, John Gribbs, has pur-
chased three calves for big barbecue.
District Attorney Weiser and Sheriff
Hanlon asked the saloon men to be very
careful in not selling liquor to men who
''had enough, and it is thought that it
viii not be necessary to ask the COVER
nor to close the saloons.
