Mexico Gets a Valuable Strip from El Paso
An El Paso dispatch reports an international commission decided to set the 1854 boundary as the rightful border in a dispute over $7,000,000 in property at El Paso. The ruling implies Mexico could hold bull fights in the current El Paso and Mexico may gain regulatory rights over local saloons, creating uncertainty in the border city.
