Denver, Jan. 4.-The members of
the state board of equalization, who
charged Assessor Sanchez with having
failed to include all of the land in
Huerfano county in his tax schedule,
received quite a surprise yesterday
when Sanchez proved that something
like 1000 acres which had been listed
by Auditor Kenehan as not having
been assessed was located in Las Ami
mas county and was not subject to
taxation in Huerfano county at all.
He also proved that something like
1900 acres were located in Costilla
county and that 600 acres were school
land belonging to the state and not
subject to taxation.
Just how the inspector who made
the report on the land upon which the
suits were started got his informa-
ton has not been fully explained, but
the chances are that he came in con-
tact with some of the Huerfano coun-
ty gang and they gave him a set of
plat books which were used before
the war. At any rate the county lines
which he went by were about five
miles from the present boundary line
between Huerfano and Las Animas
counties. James Mullins is the name
of the inspector. He is the person who
checked up and made out the report
to the effect that something like $4,000
acres had not been assessed.
The hearing came up before Cover
nor Shafroth yesterday on the ques-
ton as to whether or not Sanchez
should be removed for failure to as
sess all of his property. Mr.. Mullins
was put on the stand to prove the
correctness of his list. Attorneys
Holbrook and Dixon started to ex-
anime him and produced a plat book
different in making out his list. 1t
was soon discovered that the first
1000 acres listed lie in Las Animas
county. 1t was also discovered Nat
the county line is different from what
Mullins supposed 1t to be. not only
between Las Animas and 0Huerfano,
but also between Huerfano and Cos
tilla.
Old-time politicians would say that
Mullins had one put over him.
The examination continued and the
attorneys were taking the land section
by section and producing the tax
schedule to show that II was listed
thereon. at least that part of the land
reported by Mullins as being locaed
In Huerfano county. In many in
stances Mullins maintained that the
tax schedules had been changed from
what they were when he made the ex-
animation. He claimed that entries
aad been made upon him which were
not there at the beginning. However.
attorneys for Sanchez denied this.,A and
stated they would bring tho owners

SANCHEZ INVESTIGATION IS
CONSIGNED To COLD STORAGE
Attorney General Barnett Leaves Scene of Farce Dsused
at Stupidity of Kenehan's Expert Investigator

Denver. Jan. Sin all probability
the examination by Governor Shat
roth into the assessment of the prop
erty of Huerfano county will take
its position alongside the examination
which was made into the state land
board and never heard from again.
An adjournment subject to the call of
the governor was taken last night
after a day that proved a complete
fizzle 50 far as the prosecution was
concerned.
It was shown yesterday that the
bill OF particulars upon which the
case was based was about as faulty
as a rotten apple that had been soaked
in water FOR "A week. There is no
denying the fact that the "Huerfano
gang" referred 20 by members Of this
administration In the early stages Of
he case as SLEEPY Mexlcans." put
one over on Jim Mullins that he will
not soon forget. Jim Mullins Is the
man who investigated the records and
found 1880 acres unassessed. They
showed yesterday that on this number
OF acres 1.4OO had been erroneously
listed. $3.50 was regularly assessed.
1000 was government land. 1890
acres reported by Mullin is outside
the county and 1880 acres Is return
ed with the exception "owner un-
known" This accounts for every acre
reported as unassessed by Mr.. Null
Inns. The amount where the owner Is
unknown is handled the same as II is
handled in all counties. In many In
stances the land has been sold to the
county for taxes for previous years.
When Sanchez had completed his
testimony and shown every acre ac-
counted for. Mullins maintained that
the land marked unknown" was not
so marked when he made the examl-
nation. but Sanchez suggested that
man that would report 1890 acres ly-
ing outside OF the county as being n
part OF that county was really not ca
pable OF judging whether this land

The facts are. those sleepy Mexi-
cans gave Mullins the wrong plat
book and evidently the wrong assess
ment rolls and he didn't fnd out the
difference. The stupidity OF the en-
tire matter has caused such n refiec-
ton on the suit that Attorney General
Barnett became disKusted and left the
room Assistant Attorney General
Brinson stayed in the room where the
hearing was going on. but explained
to the reporters that II was the fault

ment that made them look sick.
Mr. Brluson maintained that he

or not the ownership OF the $1,000
acres o. unknown This gave n fairly
good excuse for stopping the official
massacre OF the charges and an ad-
i8urnmant was taken subject 10 the
call OF the governor with the under
standing that he VIII not call them to-
gether until the attorneys on both
sides are ready. II was also agreed
that all books. documents. etc. can
