FIGHT FOR A POST OFFICE.
Argument Heard on Petition From the
Town Of Las Vegas.

Justice Barnard of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia today heard the
arguments of counsel In connection with
the petition for the writ of mandamus hled
by the mayor and other officers OF the
town" of Las Vegas. n. NJ. against the
Postmaster General of the United States.
the object being to compel the Postmaster
General to re-establish a post office at the
town of Las Vegas The post office there
was discontinued March 81. 1903. by order
of the late Postmaster General Payne.
The petitioners state that the town OF
Las Vegas is the county seat of San Miguel
county, and that the post Office there was
abolished by reason OF its consolidation
with a post office at the city of Las
Vegas, distinctly an American city, adjoin-
ing the town of Las Vegas The latter Is
said to be inhabited mostly by Mexicans
According to the petitioners. this CONSOLE
dation of the post Offices was In direct vio-
iation of the act of Congress approved June
., 1896.
forth. among other things. that the town of
Las Vegas had no such interest In the sub
ject matter of the suit entitled IL to be
heard: that he had abolished the post office
at the town of Las Vegas because. in his
opinion. the efficiency of the postal service
required its discontinuance and that his &C
ton In disseminating 1t is not renewable
by the courts. The Postmaster General
also answered that he had caused the frco
delivery service at the city OF Las Vegas
to be extended over the town OF Las Vegas.
so that as a matter of fact the Inhabitants
of the town now have better postal facil-
tiles than they had with the separate post
office.
Justice Barnard took the matter under
consideration. The argument In behalf of
the petitioners was made by Attorney w.
II. Robson. while Assistant United States
Attorney Adkins represented the Postmas-
tar General
