COURTS RECORD!
Judge Crumpacker Dis
posing of Cases.
A First-Class Record for this
judicial District.
Number Of New Suits Filed in the
District Court.
OTHER INTERESTING LOCAL NOTES.

At the close OF the regular March
term Of the district court for Bernallllo
county last week, Judge Crumpacker
had thus far during the fiscal year
which ends on June 30, 1900, disposed
OF an extraordinary volume OF busi-
ness, the records showing that In maj
hearings and trials 44O cases have been
irreyocabiy removed from the dockets;
and IL IL predicted that by the end OF
the fiscal year on June 80 the totai
number Of cases finally disposed OF by
trial and final hearing will have equal
ed, II not exceled, the unprecedented
number OF cases disposed OF by Judge
Crumpacker during the last fiscal year
ending June SO 1899. the total number
disposed of during that year having
been close to 500. For the flrst time
within the memory OF the Oldest MEM
Der at the bar in this district. has the
docket begun to grow less instead OF
larger. A comparison OF business our
ing the fiscal year 1899 taken from Gov.
Oteros last report, shows that the vol
ume OF business disposed OF In the dis
trIct court OF Bernalillo county alone
was as great as all the business dis
posed OF In the Ave counties OF san
Miguel. Colfax. Mora. Union and Qua
dalupe in the Fourth district, or three
times as great as the entire volume OF
business disposed OF In the district
court OF San Miguel county, OF which
Las Vegas Is the county seat, during
the same period, it shows that the busi-
ness disposed of in Bernalillo county
alone equalled twice the volume OF that
disposed OF In the entire four counties
of the First judicial district, and three
and one-half times az great as the
whole volume OF business disposed OF
in the district court Of Santa Fe county,
OF which Santa Re is the county seat,
lduring the same period; 1t shows that
the business disposed of In the county
of Bernalilo alone was greater than
1.-THE entire volume OF business disposed
OF in the entire Third district, OF which
Las Cruces is the county seat, and
nearly twice as great as the entire vol
Iume OF business disposed OF in the en-
tire Fifth district, of which Socorro Is
the county seat. during the same per
Iiod. When IL IL known that in the
bringing OF case to trial or fina
hearing many motions and demurrers
are heard and determined. 1t will bt
seen that Judge Crumpacker has beer
|devoting extraordinary energies toward
and is meeting with success IN wipine
out the great number OF cases which
were allowed to accumulate under the
last administration. and II Is plainly
to be seen here from that Bernalillo
county ranks first in importance In
point OF legal business In the territory
