NEW COUNTIES
ARE PROCLAIMED.

Denver Dec. BY his proclamatiU.
under the terms of the Rush amend
ment act. issued at s:iJ o'clock yes
terday morning Governor Orman Gre
ared the new counties of Adams and
South Arapahoe. and the new city and
county OF Denver was born. At the
same time the new officers OF the first
two counties we're named. and the new
officials of Denver Immediately sought
their predecessors with a demand for
the books and moneys in their posses
sion.
The consolidation OF the city and
county offices was followed by stirring
times in the offices wiped out and i'm
mediately recourse was had to the courts
in the effort of the new officers to Sc
cure the property from the officials who
were dispensed with Many old Off
GERS whose places were taken away by
the Rush bill declined to surrender the
property in their possession until the
courts had passed upon the constitu-
tionality Of the law.
In order to force the opposing Off
cials to comply an action in mandamus
was begun in the Supreme Court on the
position of c. s. Elder, as treasurer of
the city and county of Denver, against
Paul J. Sours. former city treasurer. TO
compel him to turn over his Office in
accordance with the provisions of the
law
This petition was presented to the
Supreme Court by Attorney Guy lie
Roy Stevick at p. m This was the
first step to test the bill and nearly all
the prominent attorneys of the city
were present. Chief Justice Camp
bell suggested in the informal discus
sion which occurred that ii might be
found impossible for the defendant
Sours, as an executive official. to raise
the question of constitutionality.
After discussion it was agreed that
the petition for mandamus should be
filed by permission of the court. and
both parties stipulate that all constitu-
tional questions might be raised and
examined in this form of action with
out objection
1t is objected that upon filing this
stipulation this morning in the Su-
preme Court that the court will take
original jurisdiction in the case.
City Attorney Orahood. representing
City Treasurer Sours, further agreed to
waive the issuance and service OF an at
tachment writ, and to file answer with
in six days
Chief Justice Campbell is said to
have indicated, and the other justices
concurred, that speedy hearing and
determination would be had in the
matter, and it is expected that final
decision will be rendered in January.

TREASURER CAN
BE SUED ON BOND
DEFENSE IN THE cocHRANE CASE
MAKES ELABORATE ARGUMENT,
BUT JUDGE JONES ovERRULEs
THE DEMURRER.

Montgomery, July 3.-(SpeciaD-In the
suit OF the county against Treasurer
Cecllrane and his bondsmen for the $780,,
900 tied up in the Morris Bank, Judge
Jones this morning overruled the demurr-
ers. The novel point raised yesterday that
a treasurer could not be sued until his
term expired or he was put out of office
by impeachment, was deliberately argued
but the judges ruling was adverse. 1t
was contended by the defense that as the
treasurer himself would both collect the
Judgment and keep the money to the
county. the county would be in the pre-
else shape that it now is, with a claim
against the treasurer and his bond for
so much money. Several cases were
found In the reports however. exactly pat
to the hand of the county's attorneys.
The latest move of the defense is a
plea of non est factum. The original bond
was made payable to the state of Ala
bama. and the agent here took the au-
thority to change it with a pen to
courts of Montgomery"

before it.
