Upon the arrival Of the train a report
or Of the SOUTHWEST SENTINEL met Mr..
Bantz who returned from Las Cruces,
where he had been representing the
school teachers in the maudamus pro
ceedings against the County school SUI
perintendent. We enqnired Of him as
10 what had been done in the matter by
Judge Fall and also told him that Mr..
Thielmann had sent a telegram from
Las Cruces saying that the writ had
been denied Mr.. Bautz informed us
that when the matter was called up on
Friday, Mr.. Thielmann made a written
and oral return in which he conceded
that Silver City was entitled to her ap-
portionment Of the amount Of the school
fund, and denied that he had ever at
tempted to deprive this district by re-
fusing to recognize the enumeration
furnished to him by the school board,
conceding that it was his duty to act on
the enumeration even though informal;
and that since mandamus proceedings
we're brought he had made an appor-
tionment to Silver City on a basis Of
enumeration larger than that last furn-
ished by the Silver City school board.
Under these circumstances the question
resolved itself into a mere question Of
costs, and as Mr.. Thielmann had refused
TO make the apportionment to Silver
City before the suit was brought (as was
his duty to do) the court taxed the costs
against him.
Judge Fall did not pass upon the ques-
ton as to whether OF not the ~Independ-
ent School District law had been repeal
ed, as it was immaterial what the school
district was called in the enumeration
80 long as there was sufficient in it to
show Mr.. Thielmann the district to
which it related. AS Mr.. Bantz said
that he was not entirely satisfied as to
the correctness Of Mr.. Thielmann's fig
ures regarding the amount due Silver
City from the school fund, Judge Fall
gave him permission to confer with
Treasurer Fleming before finally fixing
the amount to be inserted in the judg-
ment, and directed Mr.. Bantz 10 draw
an order 10 accordance with the courts
rulinge, which were in substance: that
Silver City was entitled to an apportion-
ment on a basis not less than the emu
meration which Mr.. Thielmann rejected
last November. Judge Fall said hat
under the circumstances he would not
create further costs against Mr.. Thiel.
mann by issuing a peremptory writ, and
would not 10 so unless necessary to car
~ out the courts rulings.
The reporter then asked:
Mr.. Bantzl was anything done in re-
gard to Mr.. Tbielmann's clam that the
Silver City school district was indebted
to an outside district
Mr.. Bantz replied;
Judge Fall refused to consider thai
matter, upon the ground that it was out
side of Mr.. Thielmaun's Jurisdiction al
County school superintendent"
If Mr.. Thielmann did not refuse tht
enumeration and did not refuse the
apportionment it took him a long Will,
to discover that Silver City was not Civ
en- any part Of the school money to which
he admits she was entitled. But it ap
pears IN Mr.. Thielmann's handwriting il

and IN writing stated that it was becausI

cured on the 22nd Of November and it wa
not until the mandamus suit was brough
against him that he awakened sufficiently
from his Rip Van Wrinkle sleep TO know
that Silver City, the largest school dis
