THE EARLYSUMMER THIS YEAR
He Declines to Affirm or Deny the Report That He Will
Not Serve Out the Term for Which He Has Been
Eected-Robnson to Complete the Term
to April 1911. It Is Said

That mayor Joseph Z. Sweeney will re-
sign his office before his term expires is
a report which is generally circulated in
political circles and brings on denials
The mayor is now busy threshing out
the street opening problem and has up
the question of garbage and sewage
disposal plants, which, it is believed, he

should it be his intention to do so.
The title to the site for the sewerage
disposal plant is questioned among
others in FL Chamizal zone and it may
be well into the summer before these
plants are completed and in operation.
From the very beginning. the Sweeney
administration has been progressive, ac-

his office
Sweeney can be mayor as long as he
wants to and would be elected over
any otner candidate who could be
brought OUT is the way one large prop
erty owner of the city puts it.
Mayor Sweeney has stated that he
would not be candidate for reelection
after the expiration of the present term,
which is in April, 1911.
The mayors office only carries with it
a salary of $4,000 year and there are
numerous calls for money from the chief
executive, charity and otherwise, which
are a source of drain upon this income.
The mayor merely smiles and is nom
comnital on the report of his contem-
plated resignation. but nevertheless it is
said that he will relinquish his office
next summer early, and that alderman

as mayor pro TEN, will be selected to

THE SAD STORY OF
AGED MANS GOAT
Is Thoroughly Aired in the
Police Court of Juarez;
Who Got It?

Bent with age and inflrmity, very
old man-Isabel Sotodueno-told his
simple. pathetic story in Juarez police
court today. Somebody had stolen has
goat.
Tears filled the eyes of the old man.
and his voice choked with sobs. He
told of being aroused from slumber last
night, of two strange men about his
home on the city outskirts, OF the disap-
pearance of his goat. Alas! 1t was
terrible.
Charged with felony, two men faced
the stern judge, while the old man, too
weak to stand, sat in one of the seldom
used chairs of the court. The prisoners
gave their names as Encarnaeion Valen-
zuela and GregUrio Torres. They knew
nothing of a goat, they said.
Still another man testified that he
had seen the two strangers CARRYING
bleating goat. The old man cried. He
was sure that it was his goat-a good,
pious goat, laden with milk and human
kindness. That goat was his best friend
alone succoring him in solitary old age
The bad men had stolen his goat. Oh,
lack-a day!
1t is sin TO steal goat as well as
pin, according to Mexican law. In fact,
it is a very serious crime, like that of
cattle or horse larceny. So the two
accused men were transferred to the
court of letters where the goat case
will be thoroughly aired
MY goat, my dear goat, sobbed the
very old man. But he never again will
