JCogales Ariz.. Dec. s. The Bouldin
heirs established in possession of half
of the 100.00 acre Baca Float grant

sales railroad company for J72.000
damages for occupation of 210 acres'

seph Bailey of Texas who was at
torney for the Bouldins atd who Is

adjacent lands. S5000 for the cost of
constructing and maintaining cattle
guards J 10. 000 for injury in separat
ing parts of farms from each other

ba merely the first of a large number
or suns mat are to cover inaiviuuai
of suits that are to cover every indi-
vidual who still makes use of any part

Some of these individuals had been
resident on the tract for 20 or more
years and the value of the Improve-
ments made by them amounts to sev-
eral hundred thousands of dollars. The
