DOG UATOHERs.


morning a policeman entered pri-
vate grounds to catch a dog in
net. The dog was OH its masters
premises and had not been away
from them. The officer was out
hunting for unmuzzled dogs! The
same officer found another dog
on its owners porch, without
muzzle, caught it in the net and
took it to the pound.
The town ordinance passed July
20, 1896, entitled can ordinance
to prohibit the running at large of
dogs, and to provide for the seizing
and impounding thereof" provides
that dogs shall not run at large on
the streets or alleys of the town be-
tween May Ist and September Ist,
unless they are securely muzzled
with good wire muzzle and from
September 1st to May Ist they shall
not run at large as aforesaid unless
they are muzzled or accompanied
by their masters. Any dog found
running at large on the streets or
alleys may be seized or impounded
by constable or policeman, who
shall receive fifty cents from the
town for every dog SO impounded,
The ordinance further provides fol
a notice to the owner and the re.
demption of the dog, and for killing
it if not redeemed.
The ordinance is a good one ant
ought to be enforced, but the Off
Ger seems to have been little over
Jealous i'll his efforts to carry OH
the law and incidentally to secure
the fifty cents fee attached to tn,
capture of unmuzzled dogs. Tht
ordinance relates only to the dog
rnnning at large on the streets or al
heys, and a dog on its owners prem
ises, muzzled or unmuzzled, has
right to be there, provided it ha
not been off the premises unmuzzled
The officer who enters upon privat
grounds to capture dog which ha
not been seen on the streets or a
leys unmuzzled, is trespassel
There are plenty Of dogs on the stree,
that ought to be pulled in, to kee
the dog catchers busy, withor
their going Oh private grounds
capture an aged and toothless litt'
lap-dog that never goes off the prem
ises, and that couldn't bite anybod
if it was as mad as a March hare.
If a dog is seen on the streets III
muzzled, and on being pursued b
all officer it runs to its master
premises, it would seem that Il
6 officer would have the right to fo
low it and seize it, but he has 1
right to bag every unmuzzled dc
he sees on private premises witho
first ascertaining whether the al
: NAL belongs there, before he tax
y it to the pound, unless he knows
!. has been running at large on Il
;. streets.
d The safest and surest way
II avoid any trouble in this matter
for every dog owner to see that /
dog does not go out of tbs Lou
u without a muzzle.

THE CONTEST is on.
Judge COldwelrs Deadly Resolution
knocked Ont

All sorts of rumors are rife on the
street about the contested election case
in the city council. and all sorts of
reports have been published about the
matter, many of which had no fOunda-
| ton whatever. Many people do not
understand exactly the conditions of
the contest and just why it was brought
and some have formed opinions and
! taken sides on the question without
even knowing the facts in the case
The grounds on which John OKeeffe,
| the republican candidate for mayor,
makes the contest are that it came to
! his knowledge that at the election last
| Tuesday, many persons voted who
were not entitled to vote in the city:
another ground is that certain multi
ated tickets were counted in some
wards and were thrown out in others,
while a further ground for contest is
that the aldermen should be elected by
| the wards which they are expected to
represent n the city council, and that
the aldermen should not be voted on
by the city at large. OF course Mr..
O'keeffe thinks he has been elected
mayor of the city by the legal vote rs
ana for this reason he wants the cOun-
Gil to open the ballot boxes and
recOant the votes, throw out all illegal
has been fairly defeated by the legal
voters of the city, there will be no
farther contest and Judge Magoftin
can take his seat without further OPP
position, but if the votes show that he
90 keeffe) has been elected by the
qualified voters, then he wants the
Office. These are the conditions of the
contest aud it is as fair for one side as
it is for the other, and the contest will
certainly do much to purify the ballot
in this city.
The questions that were raised in the
city council last Friday was as to the
authority of the council to go behind
the returns of the judges of election |
and decide the contest by counting the |
ballots and throwing out illegal votes |
and declaring the candidates elected |
who had the most legal votes. The |
question was being argued by Judge
Kemp and Mr.. Stanton, attorneys en-
plOyed in the case, when Judge Cold |
well presented a resolution, hch was
carried, throwing John O'Keeffe's side
of the issue out of the council, and at |
the same time leaving him in such |
shape that he could not go before the |
district court for d writ of mandamus,
as he had no case to present. When |
this phase of the question was put be-
fore Mayor Campbell. he prom pity |
vetoed the resolution and has filed his |
veto in the city clerks Office and it will |
be presented tomorrow at the meeting
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1897-04-19

of the council. This veto puts a new
complexion on the status OF the contest
and gives John O'Keetfe chance be-
fore the council where the contest
properly belongs, according to the
city charter so at tomorrOw.s meeting
of the council the contest will be on ia
full force, but just what the outcome
will be remains to be seen.
The veto by. the mayor was stun
ner' for the machine democrats" and
they were seen all around the streets
this morning standing with their
heads close together and consulting
mysteriously over the outcome of the
situation. 1t was clearly to be seen
that they were at sea and were devils
ing ways and means TO prevent the
contest if it lay within their pOWer.
Judge Magoffin looked serious, but
good natured over the matter; but
many of those who were after jobs
looked sad forlorn aud frazzled out.
Thus the matter stands at present
and will stand tomorrow unless Judge
Magotfin goes before the district court
for a mandamus to prevent the old
council from acting further in the
case.
The mayors veto to Judge Cold
wells resolution is as follows: E.
THE VETO
Ell PASO, April 10, 1897.
To the Honorable City Council of the
City of Ell Paso.
Conference.-The resolution passed
by the city council en- the 18th day of
April, 1897, in which the city resolved
that its powers over election returns
were simply ministerial is hereby dis
approved and vetoed by me for the fol-
lowing reasons:
First.-That one or more members Of
the council who had voted for said re-
solution did so mistakenly and without
compromising its full scope and effect.
Second-Should majority of the
members of the council be of the opin
ion that the city. in the matters of con-
tested elections now pending before it,
are charged with more than minister
ial duties, and they should be mistaken
in suppOsing that their powers and
duties in the matter of contested cleo
tions are quasi-judicial, and they should
decide to go behind the returns and en-
terrain the contests, the mistake if any
can readily be corrected by some re-
straining or mandatory writ, issued out
of the district court
