Walter l.. Fisher in telegram to the
Times Saturday night. Mr. Fisher
said that the percentage OF cases de-
cided in favor of Colorado settlers did

was somewhat less than that amount.
The exact percentage" he wired
cannot be determined without eX-
amining and tabulating extensive re-
cords. However the report that n
large percentage of cases was decid-
ed in favor of the settler is erron-

that"

SUIT AGAINST
CHARTER FORM
Fight Being Made to Declare Com
mission Form of Government I'm
constitutional-Contest Opens
in City of Pueblo.

There is naturally a great deal of
interest in Grand Junction in the
fight started in Pueblo against the
commission form of government.
Concerning the suit filed yesterday
The Pueblo Star-Journal says:
At $40 o'clock this afternoon
Judge n. Walter Dixon of Denver
filed suit in the district court ask
ing that commission government in
Pueblo be declared unconstitutional
and that the five city commission
ers be ousted from their positions
The suit is brought in the name of
w. II. Tate, former city treasurer, as
relator, and is in the nature of an
custer proceeding.
The relator claims that the Rush
amendment does not apply to cities
Of the first and second class in Colo
rado and can not be made to apply
without special act of the legislature.
Further allegation is made that the
charter which provides for commiss-
ion government in Pueblo is conflic-
tory, that certain sections conflict
with certain other sections and that
certain other sections conflict with
the state constitution.
The relator declares that he IS
bringing suit as qualified elector
and taxpayer of Pueblo for the rea-
son that the district attorney refused
to prosecute the suit in behalf of the
people.
The court is asked to oust Com
missions Duke, Burton, Lannon, Pre-
vost and Donnelly. The relator
charges that the commissioners are
retaining possession of their offices
Illegally and that he was formerly
duly elected to the position of city
treasurer and was serving in such Of
flee when he was ousted by the de-
PENDANTS and is now prevented by
them from carrying out the duties OF
the office to which he was elected.
