While Swimming in Deep Pool an
Employe on the Railroad Gets Be-
yond His Depth.

A death by drowning was narrowly
averted at Llano, New Mexico, on Sat
urday by the timely and heroic ac-
tions of W. E. Johnson. section fore
man on the Ell Paso & Northeastern
Railway. A deep pool of water had
been formed near the track at that
place by the late heavy rainfall and
Julian Neri and several other track la
borers took advantage Of it by going
swimming Neri got in above his
depth and began to strangle and call
for help Johnson, who was watch
ing the men from the bank. at once
saw Neri's peril and plunged into the
water calling upon Neri's companions
to help. No one responded and John
son reached the drowning man just as
he was sinking the second time. Neri,
a big, husky fellow, with the instinct OF
drowning man grappled with his res
cuer and rendered him helpless and
they went down together. Johnson at
last succeeded in loosing himself and
swimming to the surface caught tow
ell. tossed from the bank, and throw
ing one end to the gasping Neri as he
was sinking for the last time towed
him ashore, in an unconscious state
Neri was finally revived and appeared
none the worse for the adventure.

ing a small hole he recovered rapidly.
He was mustered out of service with
his regiment on September Is, 1895, at
Montauk Point, Long Island. He made
b fine record for gallantry and devo-
ton to duty while serving in the
Cough Riders, during the Spanish
merican war.
- He returned to New Mexico and has
psacticed law in Ration, the county seat
of Colfax County ever since. In March
last he was elected delegate from
New Mexico to the Republican nation
al convention at Chicago. Mr.. Leahy
is a man in the prime of life, honor
able, courageous, attentive to his du-
ties and business and respected and
liked throughout the Territory Wher-
ever known As clerk of the Sixth Ju-
dicial District Court. the New Mexican
believes, that he will make an excellent
record and will prove that the ap-
pontment made by Judge Mann has
been rightly bestowed upon a worthy
and deserving Republican and exem-
plary citizen. The New Mexican be-
lieves, judging by Mr. Leahy's record
and attainments. that he will fill the
important Office of clerk of the new
district in very competent, efficient,
thorough and honest manner; that he
will be found very courteous and
obliging official, attentive to his duties
and ready to accommodate the lawyers
and the people who will have business
! in the new court Mr.. Leahy, the New
Mexican understands. will make his
home in Alamogordo, the headquarters
of the new district Within a few
months it will be demonstrated with
out doubt that Judge Mann's choice
was proper and sagacious and Mr.
Leahy will have been found by the
people of the district just the kind of
clerk of the court in their counties de
sired under a judge anxious to give
them an efficient, fair and impartial ad
ministration of Justice.

to keep order at Broken Bow and the

WHY NOT GET TO WORK?

No reason has ever been assigned
for failure to begin work on the public
improvements 70 be paid for by the
5000, 900, bond money. The public is
wen aware Of the fact that the bonds
have been voted, that th,re has been
plenty OF time to prepare to use the
money, and that the money is prscti
caIly In the hands of the city ready
to be used, and yet, for some reason
til city is not ready to use it. The
use OF the money now appears to be
entirely in the hands Of the board Of
public works, the members of which
are progressive, public spirited men
who cannot fail to see the advantage
in beginning these improvements now.
The board has been hsmpered and de-
lsyed for weeks and months by the
mayor and general council, but there
seems even now to be plenty of time
to get in some good ticks.
In the srteet reconstruction, the
storm water sewerage can be laid in a
few DAYS after the protiles are pre-
pared, and can be laid in such way
as not to impair the subsequent street
and sidewalk work. There are yet
many weeks in which good weather
lmay be reasonably expected, and with
the worK in the hands Of capable
contractors many blocks can be re-
CONSTRUCTED this year. Louisville is
letting contracts nearly every day for
lstreet reconstruction, and 80 are many
other cities.
1 In regard to a market house, il is
generally conceded that 1t can easily
ibe buiit this year. IL is not TO be an
elaborate affair. Ii would require but
q short time to tear down the shack
now dignihed by the name of market
house, aud the remainder of the work
10 not intricate and could easily be
done before bad weather, even II bad
Weather were serious bar to it,
which some contractors claim 1t
would not be. Naturally some in
convenience is going to result to
butchers, marketers and the general
public in tearing down the market
house and building new one, but 1t
might as we'll be done now as any
other time. The sooner It is begun
and over with the better for the pub
lilo, and after all, the public is prinoi'
pslly to be considered.

ton has forced il on the people.
While it is true the law does not
say that the city cannot loan money, .
on the other hand il does not include
the power or authority TO loan money
in the many things it specifically EN-
powers q city to do. Even leaving
out entirely the question of whether
q city can" loan money because the
charter does not say il cannot" loan
money, the law makes plain provis-
ion for the disposition Of all city
funds. II does not divide funds into
general and special funds. 1t calls
city funds city funds, and this in
cludes every nickle the city gets from
any source. The law, after prescribing
that all "city funds" must be turned
over to the treasurer also clearly slip
ulates that thess same funds must be
placed by him in the city depository
and must remain there subject to
check or order, but not spent for any
purpose the city may devise, for an
other statute equally as plainly says
that not a dollar of public money
shall be used for any purpose except
that for which il was appropriated
IL will be generally conceded that the
5000. 900 W not appropriated to loan.
AS to the general councils action re-
garding the city depository not being
disturbed for four years. that doesn't
amount to the paper 1t is written on,

statute, 1t can't say how long any
bank shall be city depository.
There is still another point, how
ever, involved in the affair. This il
the responsibility for the money. The
money must be paid over to the city
treasurer when collected. He must in
turn deposit it in the depository, ana
the depository and the treasurer then
become responsible to the city.
Does il make any difference If the
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1904-08-06

mayor and general council do order
the money loaned, and accept the Sc
curity offered, and will IT relieve the
treasurer and depository of one jot or
title OF their responsibility TO the peo-
pie for it? The general council might
order the treasurer and depository to
give it away, so far as that is concern
ed, but if they chose to do it il would
be on their own responsibility, and
they would be legally responsible to
the people for it, despite anything the
general council might have said or
done in regard to it.
If is illegal to loan out the mon
ey, will an order from the general
council legalize 1t, or relieve the
treasurer and depository of the respon
sibility to the people for its safe keep
ing until used for the purposes for
which IL was voted and appropriated ?
The general council has already, in a
number OF instances, shown that II
considers itself above the charter and
the Kentucky statutes, and the treas.
urer should take pains not TO be led
asirsy in this case, for the council
will not care whether it IL legal or
not to loan the money, so long as he
aud the bank are responsible for it,
and the general council cannot in any
way no matter how much It may de-
sire to become so, maze itself respon-
