Show LAND LOST TO TEXAS. Result of Recent Surveys of the Lone Star State's Boundary. "Three portions ot tho boundary lines of tho state of Texas aro under dispute, and In each instance the territory ter-ritory of tho Lono Star State Is cut Into," said Marshall T. Golden to a Washington Star man. "Thsro was recently re-cently filed In the land office ot the state a report of the work under the act of Congress requiring tho Secretary Secre-tary of tho Interior to establish the 100th merldlnn, which forms part of tho eastern boundarv of Texas. It was at first believed that Texas would gain an eight-mile strip from Indian Territory, but on the contrary, according accord-ing to tho report. Texas will probably .loose a strip tliroo-quarters ot a mile wldo. Should this report be considered consid-ered as final poople holding property on what wns always considered the Texas side will lose their title, as a Toxas dcod to tho land will not be legal. "The same condition prevails along tho entire panhandlo on tho western end of tho state. Surveyors havo fixed tho 103d meridian so as to cut off a strip three miles wide, embracing 300,-000 300,-000 acres, from the Lono Star state, nnd it has recently been brought to light that New Mexico disputes tho boundary lino extending from the westernmost point of Texas, and the Lone Star state is about to lose moro land to New Moxlco." |
