the vote, failed to have three-fifths
which is said to be necessary, and sc
the county seat must stay at Santa
Fe.
To make matters worse another vote
cannot be taken for five years, and
the county officers of Haskell county
will have to remain on an almost de
serted townsite now for at least five
years unless some way can be found
of knocking out the result of that cleo
ton.
