APACHE COUNTY will ever hold Governor Zulick i'll grateful remem- brance for having been the instru- ment of teaching it's officials that they were amenable to the laws of the land, that the public through their legal agents, were entitled to exercise supervision over their own affairs, and that public trusts must be faithfully and rigidly accounted for. Apache county has been cursed with a state of affairs that baffies indignation. Our officials have made their own selection as to whom they would report, or refused altogether, at the dictation of their own whims. In other instances they refuse to acknowledge the su- premacy of any tribunal and de- fiantly proclai that, as officials, they are law unto themselves. The people have been wronged, the administration of county affairs painfully embarrassed, and our off, cers have taken the bit in their teeth, and boldly goue in the face of the law and laughed its author ity to scorn. The Board of Super visors acting strictlyin con :ormity with the statutes, in obedience to the wishes of the people, and step by step under the advice of the best attainable legal talent, in or der to protect the imperilled inter- eSts of the people, removed in stat utory form the County Treasurer, and appointed a successor who was duly qualified and filed an ap- proved bond, as strong as could be made in Apache county. The County Treasury, under the admin istration of the old Treasurer had just been robbed and nlundered of more than $11 ,0O0i in cash, and that Treasurer was still holding the of flee under a very inadequate bond, and unable to give additional se- curity. When the new Treasurer was appointed, Mir. Dionicio Baca refused to surrender the office and still continues to do so, retaining possession of the safe and records. Thank God, a rift at last appears
