When the Supreme Court convened TINS

for the fray. The Judges looked 9 little
weary. Respondents attorneys said CLERK
Blossom Of Douglas county might be ex-
cused as they did not desire q recount Oh

one difference between the rival Governors.
Realtors attorneys, however, insisted upon
Douglas county being completed and the
recanvass commenced.
Respondent discovered three ballots
with the word "no" written on, which are
clearly illegal, and one with an erssure,
purely q technical objection.
Relator found some queer markings in
this precinct. One with mo" written on;
one with Y not opposite any name; one
with Xxx in q square; one with an Y in the
capital o in official ct the head OF the
ballot; one with an X and q perpendiculsr
line opposite the names OF tive candidates
for Governor; one with an y and an at
tempted erased X plainly discernible
opposite the James Of two candidates for
Governor; and one with q bad erssure.
Relator found Q ballot marked with 9
horizontal line instead of Y and asked the
Courts ruling. In Dennis VS.. Caughlin,
Sweeney We. HUI and Buckner vs.. Lynip,
our Supreme Court passed upon numerous
irregularities sufficient to vitiste q ballot.
A horizontal or q perpendicular marking
was mons the markings held bad. The
Court informed relstor that in this case

WATER AND ELECTRIC LIGHT.
These Interests in Santa Fe Now in the
Hands Of Energetic New York Men
Who Will Make Valuable
improvements,

After more than a years negotiations,
the control of the Santa Fc water and
light interests have passed from the re-
cent Chicago owners into the hands of
New York investors who have ample
means to make any improvements or
investments they deem profitable and
wise to make in Santa Fe. The repre-
sentative of the New York people was in
town recently, the guest of Captain and
Mrs. Day, and has taken with him to
New York estimates of Improvements to
be made in the plant here, particularly
with the view to charging the electric
plant to meet all the possible require
ments for both light and power in Santa
Fe. Captain Day expects to commence
important work on these lines so soon as
plans are approved and the weather is
settled sufficiently to work to advant-
age.
The New York people are the owners
and operators of some twenty odd water
and light plants scattered throughout
the United States, and have wide ex-
p%erience in resuscitating dead towns.
The fact that the city has been unable
to pay tor street lights furnished in the
past, and also unable to provide for the
sewerage now flooding the principal
s~treets-they regard as only surface
short comings, likely to pass away with
the enactment Of proper laws regulating
the collection of taxes. These .-ewly
found financial friends are not boomers
in any sense of the word; but they have
faith in the future of Santa Fe if devel-
oped along certain we'll defined lines,
successful in treating dull or
dormant towns under less favorable CON
ditions. 1t is the expectation of the
new investors to assist the development
OF Santa Fe on W lilies First as a
health resort for well-to-do invalids
seeking suitable climatic conditions
away from the blistering summer sur
and billiards. of the north and east; and
second, to provide some sort of venue
producing industry in Santa Fe cal
cul.ted to give employment to laboring
people willing to work for moderate
wages.
