Something Of surprise was sprung
on the politicians Of Bernalillo and
Sandoval counties late last night
when passengers returning from Las
Corrales. the county seat Of the lat
ter county. brought the news that at
a meeting Of the county commission
ers there yesterday Fred Otero Of
Bernalillo had been named sheriff Of
the new county to succeed Alfredo NJ
Sandoval who was 0usted few days
ago by the decision Of Judge Baker
that he was disqualified to hold Office
because Of his lack Of the necessary
$500 worth OF real estate In the county.
A motion was made for new trial
and when this was denied the defend
ant asked for suspension Of judg-
ment pending the decision of the high
er court. but this motion met the
same fate. When 1t was definitely
known that there would be no sus.
pension and that the oustlng Of young
Sandoval was assured, there began
lome lively speculation among local
politicians as to who would be the
choice of the commissioners as his
successor.
To those who have been watching
the current of matters political in
Sandoval county the appointment uf
Mr. Otero Is not a surprise. There
have been strong influences at work
in Sandoval county of late and what
ever the inside story Of the turn Of
affairs may be. there has certainly
been turn for behold Mr.. II. A. Micra
who was the hold over commissioner:
at whose request. SO IL IL said, the
special election for Sandoval county
officers was done away with by the
legislature, by second amendment to
the Sandoyal county bill and the two
commissioners that now hold office ap.
pointed Is now no longer chairman

of the proceedings that come here Mr..
Miera's name is mentioned last on
the list. The board also declared the
Journal-Democrat Of Albuquerque the
official printer for the county at Its
meeting yesterday, whereas the even
ing Citizen had been wont to consider
itself the favored one. Those who are
familiar with the political situation In
the two counties that one were one,
are drawing some deductions from
the action of the Sandoval county com
missioners that may or may not have
been drawn by MIR. F. A. Hubbell who
Is now on his sheep ranch far from
the scene where things are happen
Ing. AT any rate II Is said here that
the choice Of the Sandoval commits
