Times MAJ IS Acquitted

Portales. N. M., March "a.
The jury in the case Of the peo-
pie VS.. Ryther this morning re-
turned a verdict in favor of the
defendant. This was the mat
ter in which the defendant was
charged with overcharging for
the publication Of the delinquent
tax list in and for Roosevelt
county, which cost the people
some $4,000 odd, an amount
which the grand jury deemed to
be excessive. The legal fight in
this case was Of more than ord
mary intensity, and took up
several days time in the district
court.
