Mayor Cooney spent three days
this week representing the city
before the board of county commits
sioners sitting as a board of
equalization. The committees of
the city council who would
ordinarily discharge this duty are

necessary time to this purpose.

Rob't Collins, city collector Of
water taxes, reports that he
collected about $500 for the
month of May. Several parties

A. B. Baca of San Marciai
thought that the Strengthening
of McCutchen avenue to Cali
fornia avenue would damage his
Maria Abalos property on Hand
cock avenue to the extent of $50.
Mayor Cooney thereupon bought
the property outright on his own
account and will see to it that the
contemplated improvement will
cost the city nothing. Without

il may safely be said that no
mistake was made in electing
Capt, M. Cooney mayor of Socor-

cattlemen from the vicinity of

over a question as to the veracity
of witnesses in the Sherron cattle

was not sure that Smith did not
periure himself. Smiths fist inn

quickly recovered himself and
staggered Smith with a terrific
blow on the jaw. Both are large,
strong men and for few mo-
