the part of the attorney general of
the territory as to the Hubbell cases.
1t will be remembered that he once
| gave his consent to the bringing of
Ian action for the trial of the title of
the Office of collector of Bernalillo
county, but after hearing from Otero,
VINO was then governor of the terri
tory. he changed his mind and with
drew his permission. The other day
he surprised the territory by again
| giving his consent to the action, and
the attorneys for Frank Hubbell lost
no time in getting into court. They
have had some experience, and were
afraid of another change of mind.
WHAT caused the attorney general
to reverse himself? If you know, tell
us. Some believe it is a bid from the
| Oteroites for the good will of the
Hubbells, but it is not likely to work.
Those believing the Oteroites are at
the bottom of the move p their
theory with the allegation tina Otero
has been discarded, and that under
Bursum it will be IN easy matter to
bring about a reconciliation. The next
few weeks may develop more of this.

just what the Hubbells would like to
have them just now, although to hear
they are in trouble. and they know
it. The Roosevelt League, organized
some week ago, by the anti-Hubbell-
ties of the county, is entirely too ac-
tive for the peace of mind of the
HubbeIs. The organization made at
the first meeting represented some of
best and strongest men in the county,
! many of them former Hubbell lead
ers, and they are hard at work, and
getting results, too. The latest from
the movement shows a wonderful
growth in all the precincts of the
county, and if the movement keeps
growing at the same time for a few
weeks longer, the league will nave
a majority of the voters in the county
outside of the city of Albuquerque.
Don Francisco has been presented
with another bunch of trouble by the
filing of another little law suit. This
time it is for the modest sum of
S ,271.O2. The suit is also directed
against his bondsmen, and is for the
recovery of that amount, alleged to
have been illegally paid out of the
school funds OF the county on war
rants drawn by the immortal Eslavio.
above mentioned sum was used in the
burial services of one Christopher
Colombo, either.
1t appears to have been a habit
of the school superintendent to draw
warrants for almost any old thing
always being very liberal in making
the amounts of the items, and the
same warrants were as good as gold
when presented to a friendly treasu-
rer. A gentleman interested in the
schools is now figuring out the pos
sibilities. after the of the
money. According to his figures, it
is one dollar and twelve and one
half cents for every child in the coun-
ty, and means a little more thar
three thousand seven hundred dollars
to the schools of the city. With that
sum the city schools could pay at
least ten more teachers, and have
that much better schools, or extend
the present term by at least six
weeks.
If the schools all the mon
ey it is alleged that Enslavio and
Francisco Illegally expended during
their terms of Office, we can build
school houses all owe the city, en-
ploy teachers by the troop, furnish
free books and free meals to the pu-
pills, and pay of the national debt
with some of the surplus.
