called session of the Supreme Court
at Santa Fe on June IL, to redistrict
New Mexico and assign the judges to
different districts. 1t is now thought
that no changes will be made in as
signment of judges as at present and
that the session will merely assign
a district to Judge M. G. Mechem,
who is likely to go to Socorro, and
Judge A. w. Cooley who may go to
Alamogordo.
1t is very likely that Curry county
will be detached from the Roswell
district and added to the Alamogordo
district, and Torrance county de-
tached from the Alamogordo district
to be added to the Santa Fe district.
The business of the Roswell district
has grown so tremendously that it's
area must be decreased. The new
candidates for headquarters of the
district court are Socorro, Ration, Sill
yer City and Tucumcari, but the
real contest lies between Socorro and
Ration.
