Excitement at the headquar-

he hoped to meet every one of

In addition to two candidates

Suit Filed in the Superior
Court This Week Alleges
So, ,362.6O of County's
Money was Illegal
ly Expended
Five Causes are Alleged
Question of Refund of Per-
sOnal Property Tax in
1911 is Raised

The expected has happened.
Since the retirement ST the old
Board of Supervisors of Greenlee
county, composed of j. H. 7.
Cosper, chairman; George Webs
ter and B. F. Billingsley, mem
bers, charges have been made
that during the incumbency of
the old Board of Supervisors,
public money was expended IL
legally. These charges culminat-
ed this week in a suit against
the above named members of the
Board containing five counts and
aggregating $13, 38O.16. The
statutes of Arizona, providing
for the recovery of public money
alleged to have been illegally ex-
pended by the Board of Super
visors, provides that any taxpay-
er of the county shall make a
written demand upon the Dis
trict Attorney to bring the suit
of recovery, and in the event the
District Attorney shall refuse to
bring the suit. then the taxpayer
may institute the suit in his own
name.
The title of the suit, which
was filed in the Superior Court
this week, is Jas. V. Parks VS.. J.
H. T. Cosper, George Webster
and B. F. Billingsley.
In the frstscount 1t is alleged
that on February IL, 1912, de-
mand was made upon the Dis
trict Attorney of Greenlee county
to institute the suit against the
Board for the recovery of the
the money, alleged to have been
unlawfully expended, and that
the District Attorney refused to
institute the suit.
The first count in the complaint
alleges that the Board of Super
visors illegally refunded to per-
sonal taxpayers during the year
1911, the sum of So, 96O.6O. The
complaint in this connection al
leges in part as follows: THAT
the Board of Supervisors of Ora
ham county in 1910, before the
county of Greenlee was segregat-
ed, fixed the rate of taxation on
real and personal property at
S2.85 on each $100 valuation.
That in 1911, the Greenlee county
Board Of Supervisors fixed the
rate at $1.80 for the same pur-
poses. That Assessor Jas. Kerby
collected from personal property
owners from February to June
1911, at the rate of $2.85, the
rate for the previous year (191O)
and paid the same into the county
Treasury. That tae Board of
Supervisors on August 25th, 1911,
did, without authority of law,
make and cause to be entered on
their record, an order directing
John M. Webster, treasurer, to
refund at once and pay out of
the County Treasury of said
Greenlee county, the difference
in the tax rate of 1910 as levied
and collected on personal proper
ty by the County Assessor, and
the tax rate as fixed by the Board
of Supervisors for the year 1911.
The refund amounted to 81. O5 on
each 500 of personal property
and totaled So, 9OO.6O The COM
plant further states; THAT on
the twelfth day of February,
1912, the plaintiff requested the
County Attorney of said County
to institute suit against said de-
PENDANTS and the attorney refus-
ed. That the plaintiff under the

Lordsburg VS.. the Rebels

SATURDAY, June ID. Well!
Well Well! Who would have

or probable, but an accomplished
fact.
The Lordsburg End team of
base ball experts came down Sat-
urday on the train prepared to
do poor Duncan up brown and
take a string of scalps back.
Orosco's braves were decoyed
into the open and cut off from
coal, water and ruthlessly slaugh-
tered in cold, deliberate man
ner to the tune of II merry-go-

But the miraculous is always

broken out in the superlative
degree. | don't know just where
that is, but that's what ever any
way, and amounts to something
awful. What? oh yes, the crop of

I'll bet 20 cents against 2,0OO,
900 grains of Pop corn that they
slipped in 2 battered nickles and
a pants button toward paying
the 20 odd dollars expenses OF
the trip of the Lordsburg boys
down here.
That's all right Lordsburg,
when you meet us again do ii
some more if you can. wouks

on the diamond with batted bulls
if we could and beat you 46 to
1-2 of 19d but
Seriously speaking and laying
all jokes aside, one victory
does not win the war.
We are glad you came, we ap-
preciate your kindly way of tax
ing US as you found us and hope
we made your stay pleasant.
Come again.
The Duncan sluggers will meet
Orosco's Braves next Sunday at
4 pm.
Some seats have been arrangea
in the shade of the old willow
tree and small fee will be
charged for each person who oc-
cupies a seat.
If the people of the neighbor-
hood will keep the boys out we
will give you games every Sur
day.
Base Ball is a clean sport ard
should be up held by all.
Sunday is a dull. day in this
wild and wooly West and such
sport will help us to pass pleasant
hours of enjoyment, so if you
can t put the dollars come ard

is a large quantity of hot air now
