of Frank Preusser In the case OF Pol
lard vs.. Preusser. The decision effects
the title 10 the land on Silver Avenue
occupied by the White Front Restau-
iant. The lots were part Of the Boles
estate which A. w. Pollard purchased
and TO which he sought to gain title.
Preusser had squatted upon the lots
for twenty years, but had never held
title TO IL. A great many titles had been
gained In this part of town In this way.
The land originally belonged o he San
Ia Fe Pacific railroad, but many
squatters had settled upon IL and the
railroad gave them title TO the land ac-
tually occupied. Preusser had failed
to get title at that time, but held pos
session ever since.

THE COMMUNITY SPIRIT
is SHOWN AT TUNiS

The fact that the Red Mountain
Literary Society at Tunis has kept up
its regular meetings every two weeks
speaks exceedingly well for the people
In that community. They confess that
the neighborhood has become consld-
erably depopulated but even then IL IL
no trouble TO muster up from 3 TO 90
people at these social and literary
functions. -. /.
Last Friday night the county agent
met mith the people OF the Tdnis dis.
trict and talked with them relative TO
the county fair. While all were ap-
parenly quite busy with their own
farm work, they. nevertheless, agreed
that the fair was the thing and all
promised 20 do their best to carry off
the first premium on community dis.
play. Mr.. Heyman explained 10 them
that each individual that wauld ex-
hiblt at the fair would place his ex-
hibit with that OF the others OF his COM
munity and then the three cOmmunl-
ties that arranged the largest and most
artistic display would get the pre-
miums Of SIS, $40 and IS.
While the people Of Tunis intend to
carry off the $15 premium for the best
community display, yet they recognize
that the greater benefit derived from
this undertaking Is the enlarged com
munity interest and spirit that will
be created, and the fact that II will
spur them on to produce better stock
and crops and household products the
coming year.
Mrs. Sylvanus who was as enthu.
siastic over the fair as any was chosen
by the neighborhood to act az their
leader In preparing the community
display. All of the others present
promised to help her In any way that
she called ON them. The county agent
thinks that they have made no mis-
take I'm the choice OF their leader and
he Is looking for a first class exhibit
from that community.
The program rendered at the Red
Mountain Literary Society showed
beyond doubt, that the members have
the most refined taste In the choice
Of selections and the rendition Of the
program showed exceptional ability
We bespeak for any who wish to at
tend their programs a most hearty wei
come and a mighty good time.
