Interesting Supreme Court case from Cochise County
The Phoenix Republic reports an appeal involving Cammncs administrator versus M Kes enburg and others. The dispute traces back to 1882 when Antonio Vecretti owned two saw mills and sand waste land now tied to Regentery who improved and sold portions. After Vecretti’s death, an administrator surfaced in 1897, then Cummings became administrator in 1900 and sought possession and $20,000 in rents. Defendants claim ten years of peaceful possession before and after a demand, with improvements costing over $21,000, and argue possession was by wild title before notice of ownership. The demurrer was sustained on appeal.

Cochise Taxpayers Case Seeks Personal Tax Rate ruling
A Cochise County appeal follows a Gibson Abstract suit by fifteen musicians against the county for a balance of personal property tax of 19344. The dispute centers on whether personal tax must be set at the same rate as the property tax for the year. The case questions the legality of collecting the personal tax at the rate applied, after the board set the levy at 200 per 100 of taxable property while the personal tax was taxed at 263 per 100. Periods and figures show a rebate request and board denial prompting the appeal.
