SHERIFF TAKES OFFICES OF
HUBBELL AND VIGIL BY FORCE
Order of Board of County Commissioners is Prompt
ly Executed and New Appointees are
Placed in Possession.

characterize such action as moth
ing but mob law. They are TAX
ing other steps in the court in
order to bring every phase of the
present controversy before the
higher courts, and announce that
the end is not yet.
INJUNCTION AGAINST TREASURER
Although the newly appoint
ed county officials, treasurer and
collector and school superintend-
ent, have possession of their of
fees, up until ; o'clock this af-
ternoon they had been unable 10
gain possession of any of the
records of either Office, and tile
records of the treaSurer's office
will not come into possession of
the new official until an injunc-
tion filed at noon is dissolved.
while the county superintendent
A. b. Stroup, will not gain pos
session of the coveted records OF
his Office until the doors of the
vault of the Office give way to
the pickings of a safe expert.
The scene at the court house
this afternoon was an animated
one. While ex-County Superin-
tendent ESlavio Vigil stood in
the lobby of the court house con-
verSing with his legal counsel,
Superintendent StrOup lounged
in an easy chair in the county
superintendent'S Office and direct
ed the movements of corps of
mechanics. One tickled the tum-
blerS of the inner door of the big
safe, while three carpenters
changed the locks on the Office
door. The eX-superintendent
still had possession of the keys to
both the Office and the safe and
the new locks replaced the old
ones as a matter of convenience
/ and precaution. Mr.. Vigil said
that he would like to turn the
keys of the Office over, but his at
torneyS advised him to keep
them.
!. Probate Judge Jesus Romero
was one of the interested Specta-
tors in Superintendent Stroup'S
office. 1t was reported that the
safe contained $1,000 in school
funds, which were about to be
apportioned among the twenty
seven school districts of the
county, and apparently Superin-
tendent Stroup was anxious to
see if the report had any founda-
ton"

lector of Bernalillo county, is re-

position, and has refused to de-
liver the same to the present
treasurer and ex-officio collector,

OUCt ulOIt lUc curtain Is Tunk
down on an act of the hiStorico-
tragico-comico drama now being
enacted up in Bernalillo county.
The scenes of the act Just closed
are picturesque, quite dramatic.
For example, the county COM
missiouerS order ex-TreaSurer
Frank =. Hubbell and ex-Super-
intendent Eslavio Vigil to vacate
in behalf of their Successors.
Those worthless refuse to bulge.
Officers of the law appear and
Gust them. The governors ap-
pointeeS at once take possession.
LockSmithS are put to work on
doors and safes to discover the
county'S treasures. The scenes
move rapidly and when at length
the depoSed county officials dis
appear in the background, still
clustering and threatening. the
entire audience applauds their
exit. Down comes the curtain
and the play is ended.
The following extracts clipped
from an article in Wednesdays
Citizen gives the movements in
this notable performance in de-
tail:
Another drama was enacted
today in the fight for possession
of the county Offices made vacant
by the recent removals by Gov
ernor Otero, when Sheriff Per-
Gecto Armijo and deputies, in
compliance with an order from
the board of county commission
erS, took forcible possession of
the offices of Frank 4. Hubbell
and ESlavio Vigil in the court
house.
Immediately upon the con-
vening of the board of county
commissioners this morning. two
orders were passed directing
Sheriff Armijo to expel the re-
moved officials from their Offices
in the court house, and To deliver
possession to the newly appoint
ed officials to whom the offices
rightfully belonged. The orders
were so promptly executed by the
sheriff that there was no chance
for resistance.
Armed with the orders, Sher-
if Armijo and deputies went to
the office of Mr.. Hubbell and de-
manded possession, but this was
refused. The sheriff then sent a
couple of deputies over the rail-
ing and they opened the door.
Mr.. Hubbell and his deputy,
Joe j. Sheridan, were then fore
ed to get out. The vault was
left locked.
1T was much the same in the
case of Eslavio Vigil. He refuS-
ed to recognize the order, but va
Gated when force was brought
into play.
CALL 1T MOB LAW.
Counsel for Hubbell and
Vigil denounce the action taken
this morning as law and order
with a vengeance and of new
stamp. They contend that under
all established precedents and de-
cisions of the court this action is
in utter disregard of law. They
