day to determine whether the money
paid in on the Berg Judgment should go
to payment of the expenses of the pres

Judge Bantz ruled that it should go into
the current expense fund of the present
year and the commissioners consequently
paid out nearly $4,000 the same day. The
matter of the tax levy for the year 1896
is still undetermined on account of the
Laird mandamus suit not yet having
been passed upon.--Deming Headlight.

NO MORE DUELs.
"A Peculiar ana Severe Penalty In
fiicted in MexicO-A Precedent.

City of Mexico, Aug. Pin the trial
of the verastegui- Romero duel case the
jury brought in verdict of guilty in
the case of Colonel Romero, and by a
majority absolved General Rocho and
four seconds, Prida, Castillo, Barreto and
Carrello.
The public prosecutors asked for a
penalty of five years for Romero. The
Judge then sentenced Romero to three
years and four months at hard labor in
the municipal prison, with liberty to
choose the trade he preferred, and he was
also sentenced to pay fine of $500 or
100 days additional. Furthermore he was
admonished that if he ever committed a
similar offense the severest penalties of
the criminal code would be applied to
him. The Judge then sentenced him to
pay to the family of verastegui for
eighteen years the sum of $4,000 yearly
and to pay the cost of Verastegui's
funeral and all costs in the case.
The severity of the sentence was con-
sidered extreme, but public opinion
justifies it.
The sentence of Romero establishes a
precedent that man killing his antag-
onist in duel will have to maintain the
family of the victim or remain in prison
perpetually.
