A DIVIDED CITY COUNCIL.
Prospects Of a Merry Row Result
in Simply an Orderly Dis
agreement.

NCA0~AA~At
The new city council met for
the first time Monday evening.
II was Immediately manifest that
the honorable body is composed
Of two very discordant elements,
the eight council linen being
equally divided and Mayor Cooney
having the deciding vote. The
general understanding is that the
division is the outgrowth Of the
rivalry of two prominent aspir-
ants for political leadership in
both the city and the county.
The question at issue at the
council meeting was the naming
of the appointive city officials,
especially the water master.
Almost Immediately after the
city council convened Councilman
A. G. Abeytia moved an adjourn
ment. Mayor Cooney ru ed this
motion out of order on the ground
that no business had yet come
before the council, whereupou
Councilmen A. G. Abeytia, J. j.
Gallegos, Rafael Lopez, and Flor
entino Lopez left the hall. The
mayor then declared no quorum
present and issued a call for a
meeting on the following night.
On the assembling of the conu-
Gil Tuesday night Mayor Cooney
announced that his decision Of no
quorum the night before was
made under a misapprchensio-
for that he had since consulted
the best legal talent of the city
and been informed that for pur-
poses of a quorum the mayor
should be considered member of
the council. He was about to
proceed with the appointment of
the city officers when the four
remaining members of the coun-
Gil entered and took part in the
proceedings which followed.
On the question of confirming
the Mayors appointments, the
vote in almost every case stood
four to four, the mayor casting
the deciding vote. The follow
ing officers were appointed and
confirmed, viz: For water mas
ter, S. c. Abeyta; for tax collec-
tor, r.. c. Collins; for marshal,
Rosalio Jaramillo; for police
Judge, Camilo Baca; for park
superintendent, Francisco Gomez;
for city engineer, Prof. f. A.
Jones. Candidates for city at
torney and street commissioner
were also named but failed of
confirmation.
Mayor COouey announced that
the city lands would be carefully
surveyed and an effort made to
dispose of them in such a way as
to reduce the city's Indebtedness.
After the reading and acceptance
of the bonds ofofficers appointed,
the council quietly adjourned.

On Monday a long procession
wended its way from the church
of San Miguel to the banks of the
Rio Grande where in the pres
ence of an image of one of the
saints there were celebrated GER
tain religious rites designed to
influence the powers above to
send rain and abundant crops to
the children of men in this vicin-
ity.
Frank M. Dodds of Monticello
came down Wednesday from
Magdalena, where he attended
the organization of the stock as
sociation, and spent two days
here visiting his daughter, Miss
Lille, who is attending Mt. Car
mel convent. Mr.. Dodds has
many friends in the city also by
whom he was heartily greeted.
The ladies of the Episcopal
guild held their handkerchief
sale last night in the bank build
ing opposite the postofice. The
results of the sale were exceed
ingly satisfactory, the net revenue
from all sources being about 500.
The ladies made the occasion
most enjoyable one for all present.
They wish through THE CHIRF-
TAIN to extend to the public their
hearty thanks for the generous
response to their efforts to raise
money for the purpose of repair
ing the church.

Tod Holliman, the man who
killed the notorious Red Weaver

hearing before Justice of the
Peace c. H. kirkpatrick two days
later and was held under bail of
$4,000 to appear for trial at the

Judging from all reports from
the vicinity of the tragedy, public
sentiment heartily commends
Hoffman for his action. II is
we'll enough to be conservative in
such cases, but if reports are true
Hoffman should not only be
acquitted but should also be paid
at least a wolf bounty for ridding

About twenty stockmen of So

met in Magdalena Tuesday to
organize for the promotion of
their common interests. The
