NEW TREASURER
FURNISHES BOND
Judge Abbott Approved il
Last Night Before Departing
for Los LunaS.
THE TOTAL sum IS $22S, 900

Justo Il. Armijo, the newly APP
pointed treasurer of Bernalillo county,
to succeed Frank a. Hubbell, who was
removed by the governor, succeeded in
securing his bond last evening, and
the same was presented to Judge Ira
A. Abbott, who approved it, before he
departed for Los Lunas, where he
went to convene court tor Valencia
county.
MI. Armijo's bond as treasurer of
Bernalillo county, covering the care
OF the general and special county
funds in the sum Of S152,0O0. and his
bond OF $4,000 as custodian of the
county school funds, totalling S22S, 600
will be filed with the probate clerk
at once. The following Albu-
querque men appear as sureties on
the bond: o. n. Marion, j. B. Hern-
don, William Farr, Wallace Hessei-
den, Jay A. Hubbs, John S. Beaver
and Francisco de Baca.
Frank A. Hubbell is still in posses
sion OF the county funds for the pres
ent half year, the tax rolls and the
tIeasurer's Office in the court house,
and SO far shows no disposition to
give anything up without an order
from the court. 1t is not known what
the new treasurer intends doing, but
it is likely that a legal action will be
brought in an attempt to compel Hub
bell to turn over the Office and rec
ords.
Vigil Refuses to Vacate.
EslaviO Vigil, the county school SUI
perintendent, who was removed by
the governor along with the Hubbells,
has etused to vacate the office, al
though his successor has been duly
sworn into the office. Yesterday af-
ternOon Mr.. Stroup went over to the
court house and went into the county
superintendent office to look around.
He found Mr.. Vigil in possession, and
when he demanded possession of the
office, the ousted officials answer was
written on a slip of paper, as follows:
&c a. b. StrOup, and any person de-
handing possession of the Office of
county superintendent of schools
for him:
Il refuse to surrender my office of
county school superintendent for Ber-
naIillo county to said Stroup or any
other person, except upon judicial
process issuing from a court Of com
petent jurisdiction commanding me so
to do. ESLAVIO VIGIL.
County superintendent OF Schools of
BeinalillO County"
The new superintendent simply
smiled and put the paper in his
pocket. As it is not absolutely nee
essary for him to have his office in
the court house, the new incumbent
Will probably conduct the affairs of
his Office from some other point. A
legal action will probably be brought
TO compel Vigil to get out, but just
in what way is nOt known.
Sheriff Affair Quiet.
There is nothing doing regarding the
matter of who is sheIi If. The new
sheriff, Perfecto Armijo, has been or
dered to appear mex Monday before
Judge Abbott and show cause why al
injunction should not be granted com
pelling him to desist from the duties
OF sheriff. The full history of Sher
in HubbelIs Case appears in this issue
OF The Citizen on another page.
Clerk w. Z. Dame has filed his
answer to the alternative writ of man
damus granted by the court to com
pei him to give Hubben the venires
for the jurors which he has turned
over to Armijo. The district clerk
bases his refusal to comply on the
grounds that upon the allegations in
the alternative writ no issue can be
tound which can properly be tried in
an action for mandamus, that the writ
seeks indirectly to bring up the uues
ton of title to the Office of sheriff, and
that the relTtor has an adequate rem
edy at law. He refuses to comply
n requests that the writ be quashed
The arguments upon the motion tC
quash will be heard by Judge Alb
