Injunction involved.

DENVER, Colo, June 13.--The
court of appeals today reversed the
decision OF Judge Mullins of the dis
trict court to the effect that the city
council had authority to canvass the
vote cast at the recent election of the
charter convention and decided the
count must be made by County Clerk
Aichele. Nonpartisan candidates who
received majority OF the votes have
already organized and are proceeding
with the work of drafting a charter,
although they have not yet received
certificate Of election, the canvass
having been delayed by the injunction
against the county clerk, granted by
Judge Mullins.
The court decided further that the
city council ceased 10 exist with the
adoption OF the Rush amendment. that
IL ls simply q board of county commits
sioners with no power 10 pass any or
dinances beyond one calling for the
election for members OF the charter
convention. and that all other ordi.
nances are invalid.

Or. Horace Il. Merkel, recent ar
rival in Albuquerque and medical
man who believes In the virtue of adj

by the territorial board Of health on
the ground of unprofessional conduct.
and has brought an action In the ma
ture of quo warranto proceeding to

cause why the license asked should
not be granted to him. Judge Baker
has listened To the plea of the new
physician and has issued a writ com
pelling the board to appear Monday
and show cause why the license should
not to be issued A similar case came
up in the Bernalillo county court sew
eral months ago, when an usteopath
was denied a license to practice on
the ground Of improper equipment and
education. The applicant for the II.

yor Of the commissioners of Bcrnalillo
county In the case of the territory
against Commissioners Gutierrez and
Sanchez. the legislative appointees,
whom II was sought TO oust from office
on the ground that they we're placed
in office by an invalid act, has caused
little change in the situation in Ber-

has been appealed, and II is now for
the territorial supreme court to do
eide. The application for an appeal
is not regularly returnable until the

TRAINS MOVING IN KANSAS

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June l3.-The riv-
er is falling at the rate of about 0.4
OF foot in twenty-four hours. The
guage this morning read 37.3 feet.
This rate will probably be increased
by Sunday or Monday to one foot in
twenty-four hours. and 1t is predicted
by the local weather bureau that with
Out floods from above or additional
rainfall the river will have gone down
to the danger line of 80 feet by the
latter part of next week. There is
very little change In the situation In
East ST. Louis, except that the falling
river has filled the hearts Of flood
sufferers with hope Of speedy relief
from discomfort and peril, and will
soon enable them to return to their
former pursuits and manner Of living.

together about fourteen or fifteen
miles of electric railway.
Mr. Bendit. an electrical engineer
who was present at the meeting and
who mad gone over the proposed ex-
tension, stated that he estimated that
it would take an additional installa-
tion at the power house OF $4,000
In addition to this, it is proposed
to install lighting plant in connec.
ton with z,500light capacity This
was discussed and thought favorably
of and The Optic is assured that the
lighting plant will be put in The es-
innate for this was given by Mr. Ben
dit. who said his company stood ready
To put in an up-to-date plant of that
capacity for $2S,S40 and would bond
itself in the sum of $4,000 TO guaran-
tee everything. and also 70 al any time
add the necessary machinery to dou-
bic the capacity Of the plant for
$4,000 additional. He further
stated that his company would
agree TO accept half cash and half
bond for the amount Of the contract
Citizens Of Las Vegas have already
agreed to take bonds to the amount OF
$4,000, and The Optic feels assured
that both the belt line and the electric
lighting plant will be an accomplished
fact. 1t is UP To the citizens OF
Las Vegas to make ii go The prop
osition from the st. Louis people has
been put in business form TO the cit

feature OF the election today is the
large representation of Las Vegas peo.
pie on the directorate. Surely, the
people OF Las Vegas could not expect
that any less should be asked of
them.
Every one who met Mr.. Scott speaks
OF him and his manner of doing busi-
ness in the highest terms. He viii
likely return here in a few weeks and
spend several days seeing those who
have NOT yet subscribed in order to

his leg broken August %. 1903. by the cav
ing in of the trench of the water mai at

Attorney r. A. Hughes. who. on behalf of
Smith, called the matter to the attention
Of the District authorities.
In their letter to Smith the Commission
ers will remind him that they have given
him a position as Waterman at a salary of

cess of the wages he received before his
accident. This, 1t is stated, is in accord
ance with the general policy Of the authori-
ties in such cases, and that 1t Is done as a
