full bench being present, the case of Ad-
Olson M. james, ct al, appellees, VS.. Mar
Gus Brunswick, ct al, appellants, was
argued and submitted. Gov. Thornton
represented the appellees and Mr.. H. B.
FERGUSON represented the appellants.
Sheriff Ascarate, of Dona Ana county.
for whom an attachment was issued for
failure to return certain executions into
court, appeared for the purpose of show
ing cause why he should not be punished
for contempt. He explained that he had
the papers ready for transmittal to the
clerk of the court, and had even written
letter to accompany the same, when he
received a telegram that his wife was dan
gerously ill at Rio Janos, below Deming,
in Old Mexico, and in the hurry and con
fusion incident to leaving for his wife's
bedside he forgot to mail the letter. He
had the letters and papers with him just
as he prepared them for forwarding at
the proper time. In view of this showing
and his satisfactory explanation that he
intended no disrespect to the court, Mr..
Ascarate was discharged upon payment
of costs. His experience, however, ought
to prove warning to sheriffs generally
prom pity to return papers into court.
The hearing of the case entitled the
Territory of New Mexico vs. Jesus Vial
pando and Feliciano Chavez, under sem
tence of death for the murder of young
Martinez in south Santa Fe county, came
up before the court this afternoon. So
licitor General Victory represents the
territory and Messrs. W. H. Pope and q.
A. Spiess the appellants.
The Reavis habeas corpus matter is set
for hearing tomorrow.

meeting of the New Mexico Territorial

terest the rapidly accommodating evidence
dairy cattle for the presence of tubercu-
lOblb ny ull6 luOCuldUlOu OI Guo uuIu
known as tuberculin; and,
"Whereas, The existence of previously
unsupported tuberculosis is apparently
certainly detected by this method, and
the opportunity thus early afforled to
destroy infected animals; therefore be it
"Resolved, That this board commends
this process of cattle inspection to our
people that both dairy products and the
flesh foods derived from cattle may be
free from faint of tuberculosis with the
concurrent risk of injecting human be-
ings, and also advises that post mortem

that one or more skillful physicians

autopsies to assist in verifying the re-
suits and in distributing accurate infor-
nation on the subject"
