Man Marks Fraudulent Superi Grant in Senate Bill
The piece notes Senator Aldrich introduced a bill to settle the Superi land claim in the Southwest. Delegate Smith of Arizona exposed the scheme after sending a copy to Surveyor-General Hise, who calls the grant a mere ruse to divert examination from private land claims to the Court of Claims, warning it harms settlers and benefits corporations.

The speaker condemns a proposed Senate bill claiming it would enable broad land claimants to push manufactured claims without proper survey or verification. He accuses Madrid archives and Mexican records of fostering fraud, and argues the bill serves dishonest men and land thieves rather than justice.

Rhyme Rich Romance and a Yankee Blade Tale
A curious column showcases Reuden Radway and Rhoda Remington in a long tongue twister of R words, detailing rural life, roses, and romances while recounting a dramatic domestic scene. It shifts to a stark vignette about a woman versed in philosophy and philology, and a husband hidden in despair, all ending with a note about a tremendous achievement.
