GRANT CLAIMANTS WIN.
Long Drawn Out Litigation in
Baca Float Land Grant De-
cided Against Settlers in
United States Court at
Tucson

In the United States Court
at Tucson, Wednesday, Judge
Bledsoe of Los Angeles, on the
bench in the place of Judge
Sawtelle, disqualified, a decision
was rendered in favor of the
grant claimants and against the
settlers on the lands involved,
most of whom have resided
there through periods exceeding
a quarter of a century.
In concluding his decision,
given at length, Judge Bledsoe
approved the findings of Edwin
F. Jones, mastery in chancery.
who took the testimony, and de.
clared the ground had been
thoroughly covered from all
angles and that in view of this
he would not grant a motion
for an appeal nor a writ of error.
Neither would he grant, at least
not for some time, writ of
assistance which might be ask
ed for the plaintiffs. An ap-
peal might be taken to the cir
cult court, he said, if the de-
PENDANTS and their attorneys so
desired.
His opinion concluded, Judge
Bledsoe discussed the future.
He called attention to the
magnitude of the improvements
placed on the ground by the set
tiers who would be ousted un-
der the decree to be signed to-
day. He declared that regard
for American institutions was
lnculcated by the impression
created by the individual Amer
lean was more than fair was an
impression that could be con-
veyed by the plaintiffs in deal
ing with the MeXicans on the
grant. The settlers had made
their Improvements in good
faith. Many of these improve
ments could not be removed.
He urged that the plaintiffs and
the settlers might settle the mat
ter between them, whereby the
settlers could buy the land at a

flee before it can be filed and
become the official survey was
stated, and that in this case
that was not done until Decem-
Der IA, 1914. He said the
statute of limitation did not be-
gin to run until the survey was
thus approved and filed and
that consequently ten years had
not passed.
Judge Bledsoe elaborated at
length upon the fact that the
settlers had gone upon the land
with their eyes open, knowing
full we'll of the existence of the
Baca claim.
The decision gives the claim
ants nearly 100000 acres of
land.
Whether an appeal will be
taken is a question. The court
left that open to be determined
whether compromises can be eff
fected between the successful
claimants and the settlers.

TO LEAD
NEXT DRAFT LIST

The Stacker is to lead all the
others when the next call comes
for men for the national army.
Under the new draft rules and
regulations, effective December
Is. men convicted of failing to
register on June 5 will be dealt
with more harshly than under
the old system. Provost Mar
shall General Crowder has an
.nounced that such men, instead
of being given jail sentences.
will be so listed by local boards
as to insure their call with the
first increment summoned after
the new rules are put into
force.
Local boards are directed not
to send in the registration cards
of the convicted men for serial
number assignment, but to place
them at the top of the first
class liable for call. Thus the
men, it was pointed out, will for
felt all chances of the master
list rotation, except in cases
where physical condition or the
terms of the law require ex-
emption or deferred classifica-
ton.
Men now under suspended
sentence for failing to register
also will be listed at the top of
the first class it was announced.

fair price or sell the improve
ment fairly.
For this reason he would with
hold the issue of process against
the settlers for a reasonable
time, in the hope that some
such arrangement might be
made.
For the plaintiffs, John r
Campbell replied that an ar
rangement had been made with
some of the settlers to sell them
the land for so per cent Of tfe
value as appraised by the as
SCISSOR of Santa Cruz County.
In this connection it mag be
stated that the assessed valua-
tion as fixed by Santa Cruz
coun.y on lands in III. valley is
$100 per acre. And sue" com.
promises as have .een made
were on the bass of $50 an
acre.)
The compromises made are
on the north end of the grant,
where a different set of claim
ants hold the courts award.
Mr.. C. c. Watt, the chief plain
tiff holding the south half of
the grant intimated in court
that some such adjustment
would be agreeable to himself
and associates.
In rendering his decision
Judge Bledsoe discussed the
statute oflimitations, as he said
that was the first point argued.
The judge pointed out that the
settlers claimed the statute be-
gan to run from April 9, 1864,
when the 1868 location was ap-
proved; or from the making Of
the Contzen survey in 1905, or
from the time the survey was
approved and filed. He then re-
viewed the authorities, which,
he pointed out, were SUBJ
stantially without exception to
the effect that a survey by land
office officials was necessary to
complete and make perfect the
title of Watts and Davis and the
Bouldins. He said the COM
! ;ssioner of the general land of
flee had correctly designated
the survey as the muniment of
the title of Watts and Davis and
the Bouldins. The fact that
since 1879 a government survey
must be. transmitted to and re-

War Spirit Contagious.

Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree was
more than once placed In perplex-
ing position by the loss Of members
of his cast during his tour through
out Canada and the United States.
No less than ten members enlisted,
including two ladies for service In
war hospitals. One humorous Incl
dent occurred after the engagement
of deputy" In the United States.
She was not very much interested in
the war prior to her appointment,
but the talk behind the scenes among
the company bore so frequently on
the loss of relatives at the front that
she felt one night impelled to volun-
teer as nurse, was eventually ac-
copied, and her place had to be filed.

SUMMER HARD On CHICKS
Special Care Should Be Given Them
During Hot Weather
Months.
BY C. n. BURGESS,
Department of Poultry Husbandry,
Mlchqan Agricultural College.

michigan Agricultural College.
East Lansing, Mich.-If there is any
season of the year. when the young
chick should be more carefully nurscd
along than usual, II is In tire months OF
July and August. when the weather
man begins TO get in his warmest work.
1t Is at this time that pullets which
are expected TO become winter layers
are most likely to receive setback.
In handling them during the hot
weather season, therefore, ii is well to
keep a number of points In mind.
Look TO the water supply There
should be plenty OF II, IL should be
kept in the shade, should be perfectly
pure, and contained in clean vessel,
for ii is through the drinking water
that many diseases are transmitted
to the flock. Water should never be
given growing stock which Is less than
80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Food should be in good quantity and
of highest quality, with sound and
bright grain In 1t. A good grain ra-
ton for July may be made up of two
parts by weight and one part of corn.
If wheat is not available use barley. A
mash composed Of equal parts by
weight of wheat bran and ground oats,
to which has been added Is per cent
by weight of good meat or fish scrap,
is also good.
The pullets should have plenty Of
shade. The ideal place TO grow them
is In the middle of n cOrnfield Such
situation is ideal for the colony
house. The pullets may destroy to a
large extent the growing crops within
rod Of the building, but that is all.
A wheat field will grow pullets that
will lay most heavily.
Do not Overcrowd the pullets at
night. Allow at least eight inches
perch space for each pullet. Over
crowding means Overheated birds, and
this may lead to their catching cold
which frequently develops into some
form of rOup.
A full crop now means u full egg
basket next winter.
Leghorns will produce eggs when
they are five months old, Plymouth
Rocks, Rhode Island Reds and Wyan-
dottes when they are six months old.
Sort your pullets when they are
twelve weeks old Remove the weak
ones and those which seem slow to ma
ture. A well-raised pullet will produce,
while a poorly raised pullet will be u
disappointment.
