The Contest Cases,

The committee on privileges and
elections reported on the contest of c.
F. Abreu VS.. M. b. Stockton from Col
fax county. in favor of the contestee,
NJ. B. Stockton, republican, because he
received LAG votes, while his oppon-
ent, Charles F. Abreu, democrat, re-
ceived only 1,019 votes. The report of
the committee was unanimous.
Mr.. Lucero made an impassioned ha-
rangue attacking the committees re-
port.
Mr.. Cristoval Sanchez defended the
committees action in forceful man
ner.
The speaker reproved Mr.. Lucero
for ungentlemanly remarks about
"gag" rule.
The report was adopted by a vote of
20 to 2, Messrs. Ivers and Lucero vot.
ing against the adoption of the re-
port
The contest case of C. +. Abreu was
thereupon dismissed.
The report of the committee on the
contest case of William H. Coleman
VS.. Antonio Lucero was then read as
follows:
Your committee on privileges and
elections, to whom was referred the
election contest of VIM. II. Coleman VS..
Antonio Lucero for the Office of repre-
sentative from the fourth legislative
district of the territory of New Mex
leo, have had the same under consid-
Grafton, and am directed TO report to
the house of representatives as fol
lows
From the face of the returns of the
election out of which the contest arose
ii appears that Antonio Lucero had
majority of eighty-eight (SS) votes. 1t
further appears from the testimony
that the name of Antonio Lucero was
upon a ticket known as the "republi.
can independent ticket, the emblem
OF marking device of which was a flag.

men they look. otherwise they are

There is little fear of them riding

western and it is more fascinating
than wearing the conventional eastern
garb. When they learned that their
great game was only the vagabond
coyote, their spirits did not shrink to
unknown depths, but they proceeded
to have the animals skinned and the
hides tanned, which they will take
back east with them to demonstrate
and embellish their weird and untame
stories of the wild and desperate west.

Reports That Engineer Render Was
Killed Are False.
Passenger train No. 2 from the west,
due to arrive here at sos o'clock this
morning. is very late and will not get
here until late this afternoon.
A report received at o'clock this
afternoon says that the passengers
aboard it will take supper here.
Although it is not positively known
here what caused the delay, it is very
probable that the freight wreck which
occurred Tuesday night on Cajon pass,
and of which an account was publish
ed in last evenings Citizen, is the
cause
Trains due here tonight from the
north are reported on time.
The rumors afloat on the streets this
afternoon that there had been a big
wreck on the west end of this division,
in which 1t was reported that Engineer
II. J. Render was killed, are without
foundation. Santa Fe Agent Myers
was seen this afternoon and he stated
that the reports were false, and that
there had been no wreck, or no one
had been killed on this division to his
knowledge. How the rumors got start

BASE BALL MAGNA1 ES.
They Are Still Warning Over Peace
Agreements.

Cincinnati, Jan. 22.-After ratifying
unanimously the peace agreement at
2 O'Clock this morning, with a dra-
matte scene, the National league to-
day continued its adjourned session.
After discussing the peace agreements
for three successive days and nights
with the minority, New York and
Brooklyn, it was allowed to have it's
way in everything. The majority gave
notice late last night it would rule.
and an ultimatum is said to have been
made Internationally by August Her
mann, who presented the majority re-
port of the committee of the whole.
While the peace agreement has been
ratified without changing a word, q
resolution was adopted to compensate
Brooklyn for the loss of Pitcher DON
ovan. and other resolutions that New
York in the American circuit means
borough Manhattan and not Greater
New York.

Legislative Notes.

Both legislative houses will probably
adjourn today until Monday.
Speaker Nestor Montoya keeps ms
temper remarkably well and his parlia-
mentary decisions thus far have been
very fair.
President Chaves of the council yes
terday appointed Mr.. Martinez, and
Speaker Montoya of the house named
Mr.. Baca as additional members of the
statehood committee.
Even though women have not the
suffrage in New Mexico, they appar-
emily have considerable pull, judging
from the positions they secured among
the legislative employees.
Hon. Eduardo Martinez, one of the
few democrats in the house, voted
with the republicans to unseat Anto-
nio Lucero. He made a clear explana-
tion in English of his position in the
matter.
Hon. w. A. McIyers is evidently still
new to legislative ropes, but although
he is one of the minority, he will have
considerable to say on all legislation
under consideration before the session
is half over.

THIRD DAY, WEDNESDAY,. JAN. 21.
Council.

Council.
All the members except Hon. W. H.
Andrews. answered to the roll call.
The president, upon request intro
duced council bill No. 3, an act to pro-
mote the interests of irrigation in New
Mexico, to provide for territorial en-
gineer and for other purposes. The bill
provides for the creation of the Office
of territorial engineer, at a salary of
$1,000 per year, with Office in the capi-
tol and to have supervision over all
matters of irrigation, the measuring of
the flow of streams, to keep records of
irrigation surveys, prepare maps, sup
ervise the construction of irrigation
works, inspect dams, embanHments,
etc. He may employ, when necessary,
an assistant engineer at 800 a month.
The bill also provides a penalty of SO
to 500 for the waste of irrigation wa
ters and the neglect of dams, embank-
ments and bitches by the owners of
water works, acequias. canals and
bitches, who are required by the act to
maintain these carefully.
Hon. Charles A. Spiess, chairman of
the committee on rules, reported the
adoption by the committee of the rules
of the ,thirty-fourth legislative council
with two eliminations. The report was
adopted, and Mr.. Fall moved that 100
copies be ordered printed. The matter
was referred to the chief clerk to mott
fly the territorial secretary that the
rules We're ready for printing.
MIR. Spiess moved that Hon. w. II.
Andrews be excused for ten days with
out pay, this being upon the request of
Senator Andrews.
This led to raillery and witticisln
between Mr. Fall and other members,
there being motions to donate the ten
days salary to the members from Ber-
naiillo county to pay more extra en-
ployes. This sudden economy was to
demonstrate to congress that New
Mexico had no idea of making an as
sault upon the United States treas
ury.
4 II more discussion the president
announced that the council had no
jurisdiction in the matter of pay.
Ten days leave of absence was then
granted Senator Andrews.
A motion of Mr.. Spiess to adjourn
until Thursday afternoon at O'Clock
to give the statehood committee time
for deliberation, brought out more
jokes at the expense of the extra en-
ployes and the member from San Mi
guel.
A motion to adjourn to Saturday and
q motion to adjourn sine die received
no second, and the council adjourned
until O'Clock Thursday afternoon.

Three Eastern Tenderfeet Bring in
Three Coyotes.

The young aspiring hunters, who
come here from the east with enlarged
visions of great game, have only been
able to bring back from their trips

hopes and destroyed visions. How
ever. there are three young hunters,
Walter Boswick, Wayne Wolcott and
Fay eager who hail from the breezy
lake city of Cleveland, that came in
yesterday with saddles laden down
with their catch, supposing they had
killed some of the wild and ferocious
game of New Mexico. These young
men may be seen riding through the
streets most any day on vicious look

teristic garb of the western cowboy
and with their broad sombrero, blue
