Fonal property valued at abont $50 and
a mortgage Of some sT00, Whica ID
probably worthless, as the mortgage
covered the old Marshall house, which
burned down several years ago. This
cash is in the hands Of John J. Bell,
administrator de bonus non, and he
has given an amply suficlsnt bond for
the forthcoming Of this cash when
called to do so.

Bell to appear in court n week from
to-day and show cause, If any he has,
why he should not turn this money
ever to the Lordsburg school district.

the district Lordsburg will have one
OF the finest school houses In this sec
tion Of the country. 1t will not be
necessary to build as large a one as
