TERRITORY OF New MEXICO,
Office OF Solicitor General,
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. q, 1891.
Hon. Amado Chaves, superintendent Public
Instruction, Santa Fe.
Dear Sir: Replying to your inquiries
contained in your letter of this date, |
would say that in my opinion the only
school orders required to be endorsed by
the county superintendent are those
drawn for teachers wages, as provided
for in section %, of the school law, as
the previous section requires the school
directors to make report to the superin-
tendent of all moneys collected and
expended for school purposes, and the
same section limits the amount of war
rants they shall draw to the amount of
the levy, evidently intending to give
them full authority for that purpose.
In regard to attaching whole precincts
to an existing school district, | would
state that it is allowable under section s,
OF chapter II, laws CT 1891, provided the
proper applications are made as provided
therein, to the board OF education of the
city or town. Section Al, of chapter %,
which you refer to applies to an entirely
different state of affairs and different
conditions.
In regard to the state of school affairs
in Eddy county, l would say that it
seems to be due, very largely, to the lack
of interest of the county superintendent.
The law expressly requires him to make an
apportlonment quarterly, such apportion-
ment to be made and the money paid in
proportion to the number of children OF
school age. That officer has taken an
oath and given a bond that he will faith
fully perform the duties of his office as
required by law, and if he fails in any
particular he ought to be prosecuted.
A private school can under no circum.
stances be entitled to receive the public
money, and there ls no requirement Of
the law for ten days or any other notice
of the commencement of the school,
term. What | have said with reference
to the obligation and duties of the county
superintendent, applies also to schoo
directors, and in case of their failure tc
perform their PLAIN duty they should also
be proceeded against, and those who are
sufferers from such neglect ought to have
sufficient interest in the matter to see
that the law is enforced against them
Very respectfully,
EDWARD L. BARTLETT.

in crossing Il river lost his book. 1t

kept no record. This was before the
killing near Gainesville.
Bob and Ben Jordeu became recruit

Iucn in Gilmer county. and started
with them to the front. On the way
two escaped and twenty-four were
lodged in Gainesville Jail. Next morn

and Bob Jordan marched slowly along
the line with large army pistol and
shot them with his own hand. one at
time. Some fell on their knees and,
PRAYED while others looked their slay-

an oath on their lips. Among the
number was fragil boy about 10. who
was chained TO Il very large man.
The boy was shot first. and the man
supported him in standing posture
until he himself was shot. when they
fell TO the ground together.
Those twelve men were hastily
buried in trench dag upon the spot.
