In the case of John s. Thompson vs..
the Sandia Mining and Smelling COM
pany, Judge Laughin to-day refused to
grant the motion of the defendant to dis
miss the case on the ground that Mr..

gave the latter further time. Judge A. L.
Morrison represented the plaintiff and
Mr.. W. B. Childers the mining company.
Under the ruling of Judge Laughlin to-
day the treasurer of Rio Arriba county is
debarred from paying any warrants for
public school teachers salaries until fur
Their order of the court. This was done
on application of Jose Manuel Duran,
setting up the fact that he and many 9th
ers in the county had without cause been
removed from their Offices as precinct
school directors BY School Superintend-
ent Larragoite; that they were acting con-
temporaneously with opposition boards,
and that there was a certainty that con-
aicting warrants would be presented to
the county treasurer by the petitioners
on one hand and the Larragoite ap-
pointees on the other. Judge Laughlin
few days ago passed an order directingthe
treasurer to answer in the matter. This
he failed to do, and the above order made
to-day is the result. Until the rights of
the conflicting claimants are settled by
the court, the Rio Arriba school teachers
will have to wait for their salaries.

that California is on the verge of great
boom. The recent great damage done to-
the Florida orange crop is also source
of great business satisfaction to the Cali
fornia fruit rslsers, as it means that Cali
fornia oranges will receive wider mar
ket and better prices fer some time to
come. Mr.. Hughes while away did a good
deal of work on the Peralta grant case in
behalf OF the government; and in coop
GRAFTON with Mr.. Reynolds secured large
amount of valuable testimony that will
be used at the hearing of the case in
the land court.
Judge Laughliu this morning filed
decision on the application of the Postal
Telegraph company to be allowed to re-
tain it's wires on the Santa Fe bridge
across the Rio Grande just below Albu-
querque. The suit is victory for the
Postal company over its rival, the West.
ern Union people. The latter company
opposed the granting of the petition on
two grounds: First, that Judge Seeds
had already decided the case. Second,
that the Western Union had the exclu-
sive privilege of using the bridge under
its contract with the Santa Ee road and
the receivers Of that road. Judge Laugh
