The Boquillas Land and Cattle com pany yesterday filed an appeal in the supreme court to the decision of the Cochise county superior court in the matter of the changing by the by the board of supervisors of the Marcus Consolidated high school district No 1 in Cochise county.
 The case is brought to the supreme court on a writ of certiorari granted by the court several weeks ago to the BoquiIlas company Their appeal sets up that the supervisors without giv- ing due notice, changed the boundar- ies of the school district which act they contend is in violation of the law. The board claimed, they state. that the notice was not necessary, and the superior court of Cochise, when the case was taken before it. held that the notice was not neces- sary. It is to this decision that the appeal is made.

COUNTY ATTORNEY ROSS CHARGES WITNESSES AND
 JURORS TEMPERED WITH

The jury in the case of the State vs Otis Johnson of Douglas. charged with a statutory offense against Miss Johnnie A. Shotts of the same city. which has been on trial in the Supe- rior Court for the past two days. this morning returned verdict of not guilty The jury had been out since 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 Johnston took the morning train for Douglas. but was arrested at Fair bank on a similar charge. alleged to have been committed on the 24th day Of September last. The crime for which he had been tried was alleged to have occurred on September 29th.
 Late yesterday afternoon John H. Tardy of Douglas. was placed under arrest on a charge of tampering with a witness in the Johnston case. It is alleged that Tardy. while in Tomb stone recently. where the Shotts fam ily had moved soon after the charge against Johnston was filed. threaten ed the Shotts girl with criminal pros ecution if she did not leave the state at once. She further declares that other means were taken 10 force her to leave or refuse to testify in the Johnston trial
 In speaking this morning of the ar rest of Tardy, County Attorney John r. Ross said:
 Tt is known to this office that in no less than three cases tried recent ly. witnesses and jurors have been tempered with by persons interested in the cases being tried. and while il has been impossible to secure evi- dence of nature 10 convict persons guilty of this offense. nevertheless we are certain that such activities have prevailed.
 Tn the three cases referred 10 we are positive that such tampering real. ! ly occurred. but 10 secure this evi. dence and present it to jury with any success is a difficult and practi. cslly impossible task. inasmuch as iuries of late years are growing more and more prone to acquit those ac cused. even in cases where. had the
 evidence been judiciously weighed convictions could not but result.
 The arrest of Tardy is the first step in campaign to put stop tC the tampering with witnesses and jur
 DTS, and the matter will be sifted iron

 Whether or no the famous old vein would be encountered by following the Assure vein is an uncertainty.
 Nevertheless. old timers and those who have made a close study of the district, are of the opinion that by following this new vein. the main ledge would be encountered, as its disappearance in the early days was strictly in disaccord with the natural. The vein was lost abruptly, as though i. had never existed, and did not pinch out" as is usually the case with ore bearing veins.

 "Of course we realize that to con vict on a charge of this kind, we must secure indisputable evidence of the guilt of the party accused. and al though this presents stubborn obsta- cles. every ounce of energy this office can command will be put into the fight against such activities.
 Taken as whole. such activities are detrimental to the proper func- tioning of our courts. and they must and will be stopped"

MAXWELL WILL TOUR
 ARIZONA TO DEFEAT
 COLORADO RIVER PACT

COLORADO RIvER PACT
 PHOENIX. Nov. 25.-Opposition forces today launched their campaign to prevent ratification by the Arizona state legislature of the compact auo- eating the waters of the Colorado river. signed Saturday night at Santa Fc. x. M.. by representatives Of the seven states in the river basin.
 George II. Maxwell. executive di- rector of the National Reclamation association. and an opponent of the compact. announced that the first of a series of public meetings in which he will urge defeat of the river treaty will be held tonight. He will speak in every city and town of importance in Arizona, he said, and later a mass meeting protesting the compact will be held in Phoenix.
 The compact as finally signed ia vors the upper basin states" MT. Mawell said today. The lower basin states-Arizona. California and Ne veda-get the worst of the bargain.
 "The basin of division of the water O. the river by measurement at Lees Ferry. Ariz. is itself unfair. although on it's face it would give the two srops of states approximately equal amounts of water.
 The wastage of the Colorado river in its lower stretches is far greater than the additions of water from trib- utaries and the points below Lees Ferry would have to stand this vast age. The amount Of water allotted to the upper group. on the other hand is based in the flow reaching Lees E,.--, according fo the measure ments of past years. l. has been stat : cd by engineers that in order to pro vide a certain amount of water for the Imperial valley in California twice that amount would have to pass Lees Ferry in order to allow for wastage. If the flow of the river is standardized by means of dams aEd reservoirs the wastage- from esapora tion will be much greater proror. tionately than t is at present"
 In his earlier criticisms of the river compact, Mir. Maxwell has charged that a group of land spectators are waiting to take advantage of the com pact to divert a large part of the rivers flow into Mexico for the de velopment of an Asiatic state at the head of the Gulf of California, whicf he declares will be future menace ;c the United States.
 In contrast to the stand taken D! Mir. Maxwell. Governor Thomas F Campbell, who is also close sudden of Arizona's irrigation and powel problems, has stated that the treat! is not only fair to Arizona, but ne cessary to development and hal pledged his support to the compac as signed.
 Governor Elect George ". P. Hunt whoy sent telegram to Secreta Hoover as chairman of the river com mission last Tuesday, stating hi opinion that Arizona could not ratif. the compact for at least two years has refused to make any furthe statement at the present time. Gov ernor- Elect Hunt succeeds Governo Campbell in January.
 Mr. Maxwell today sent his secon' telegram in there days to Presiden Harding. protesting against the com pact and predicting its final defeat. , The message also informs the pres : ident of the series of public meeting planned in opposition to ratification
