InOSe lntefulnaDie BaWOllhR liceuse
cases are on again before the district
court at Albuquerque. District Attorney
Whiteman has filed over thirty informa-
tions, but it is likely that their fate will be
decided by one case. The defendants
pleaded especially that they had license
to do gaming business, and to this plea
the plaintiff demurred. The contention
of the district attorney was that the law
under which defendant claimed to do
business had been repealed, and, further
more, that under the provisions of the
old law licenses could be taken out but
for three months at time. The defense
was represented by B. S. Rodey, who
maintained that under the new law there
was no repeating clause Of the old law
except by implication, and that repeal
by implication was not favored by the
der udyisement.
FOR THE PEN.

nelius Murphy and j. Sevedra arrived on

very close to the chief justice give a
positive denial to this, and declare that
absolutely nothing will be done until the
chief justice arrives, which, owing to his
private business affairs in Virginia, will
be shortly after Nov. l.
