Q cry was raised that the insurrectoe
had surrounded the place in great
numbers and were attacking.
Merchants left their stores 4 and
crowds prepared to fee to the Am
erican side. Extra guards were plac
ed about the quarters of Col. Tam.
borel and of Gen Nacarro.
The barracks are occupied by the
Fourteenth Mexican cavalry and are

BAXTER TO MAKE
DECISION TODAY
Not Sure That He'll Contest s. C.
Mumfords Nomination in
First Ward

Charles K. Baxter will decide some
time today whether to protest the
nomination OF Samuel C. Mumford
as the Republican candidate for school
inspector in the First ward.
That the election board In the tenth
precinct of the First ward violated
the law in starting 20 count the bal
lots before the polls closed is GER
tain, but the question to be settled
Is whether the boards action invali-
dates the poll. The question prob
ably be discussed by the city canvas
ing board when 1t meets In the Office
OF City Clerk Nichols, at L O'Clock
this afternoon, although Attorney
Jasper G.. Gates. who is familiar with
the election laws, says that the board
has no authority to throw out bal
lots. Furthermore, he declares that
the action OF the precinct board does
not invalidate the ballots.
If the precinct is thrown out, Bax-
ter would win by majority Of %
votes. This would not end the mat
ter, however, for Mumfords friends
would insist on carrying the contro-
versy into the courts. They do not
propose to see him lose the nomina-
ton on a fluke.
IL has been discovered that Mum
ford's name was written on several
Democratic ballots, as was Baxter's s,
and the former was probably nominal
ed on that ticket. 1t Is doubtful, how
ever, IL Mr.. Mumford would run as
Democrat If the Republican nomina-
ton should go to Baxter.
One thing is certain, though. Num-
ford's friends will vigorously oppose
any attempt to wrest the Republi-
can nomination from him, no matter
where the fight may lead to. Mum
ford Is one of the main bulwarks of
the anti-Martindale faction in the
board, and the loss OF his services
would greatly handicap the superin-
tendents opponents in the attempt
to carry out their reform program

Sun Time Submitted with Others.
M. B. Maurice, of the More Daylight
club. writes The Times, protesting
against the efforts being made by
certain Detroit papers, to confuse the
issue between Central and Eastern
standard time by stirring up an agi-
tation for sun time, in which the pa
pers themselves do not believe, 1t is
said.
The unfairness of their present
efforts are neither surprising nor mis-
leading" says Mr.. Maurice. IF the
papers referred to can show enough
sentiment existing to warrant putting
sun time to vote, In all fairness, let
Ii be submitted alone against either
Central or Eastern standard time at
any time they may elect; but Eastern
standard time should be now given
the same fair chance against Central
standard, that sun time has had in
the past. The Central time support
ers certainly seem to be in dire straits
when they have to resort to such
petty trickery."
