as to Eligibility.

Attorney General Miller has refused
to give State Auditor 10. censor a rul.
Ing on he question Of whether or not

mody is legally qualified for the po-

At the time the matter was first
raised. Auditor Jorgenson cited a state
law which provides that members Of
the board Of control of penal and
charitable institutions arc not eligible
to appointment to my other state po-
sition. commencing 4 salary, within
a period Of n year after retiring
from such board. 49,
Attorney General Miller, replying to
Mr. Jorgenson's communication.
maintains that the question Of Mr..

necessarily passed upon ~ him at the
time the appointment was made, and
he gives no further Information on
the question.
Auditor Jorgenson today announced
that he would submit the entire mat

JACOB coNSAUL DEAD

Jacob V. Consaul, rather of James
e. Consaul of Las Vegas and for many
years resident of this city, having
been engaged with his son in the
building and contracting business,
was the victim of fatal automobile
accident last Thursday night in his
recent home, Cadillac, Mich.
Mr.. Consaul, who was 80 years of
age, was in the act of crossing a
street at the time of the accident, and
it is thought that on account of the
heavy rain that was falling at the
time he did not see the machine ap-
preaching. He was rendered uncon-
scious by the blow of the automobile
and passed away in state of coma
tha twas never lifted after the acci-
dent.
Funeral services were held Satur.
day at Cadillac, under the auspices
of the G. A. R.. of which body he was
an active member.

IRRIGATION SCHEME

discussion of the proposition for the
completion of the project for irrigat-

Which the III lie is so vitally inter
ested. The p;Llcsition was Outlined
as told in The Optic of Monday and
many of the details in the matter of
organization, method of operation,
and control were taken up.
At the close it was determined that
the matter should be brought before
the board in writing at its next ses-
sion, which will occur tomorrow, and
it is said that If the board acts favor
ably the plan will be then presented
to the district court either to approve
or condemn, or to offer some solution,
providing the proposed plan is not
deemed good, that will enable the work
to be done.

told Lobato to report at the city hall
after he had finished the delivery OF
the mail, but the carrier failed to do
so and it was necessarw for District
Attorney Charles w. G. Ward and the
police official to go to his home last
evening and get him. The man spent
the night in the county jail
Lobato, who carries the mail be-
tween Las Vegas and Sapello, is said
by H. B. Hubbard to have drawn a
revolver upon him Saturday afternoon.
Mr.. Hubbard says Lobato was driving
three horses and had fourth hitched
beside them. This made it difficult
to pass Lobato, and the latter, when
Hubbard drove close to his horses, pull
ed out his revolver and called the au-
toist vile name.
When asked what he did when the
gun came into view Mr.. Hubbard said
he kept On driving. He said he didn't
drive much more than twice as fast
as he should have done had the gun
not come into view.

HORSE Thieves ARE
WORKING IN COUNTRY
SHERIFF GALLEGoS AND HIS DEP
UTlES TRYING TO BREAK
UP THE GANG

Last night, in the wee small hours,
visitors of the type that anciently
courted the gallows, came upon the
camp of an unknown man near Teco-
lote, some ten miles south of here on
the Santa Fe road, and drove off four
horses and two colts. The report of
the thievery came 10 the sheriff's Of
fic ethis morning by telephone, and
was sadly lacking in details. Why the
man was camping by the roadside,
where he came from or whittier he
was going, is not known.
Sheriff Roman Gallegos left this
afternoon for the scene and will leave
nothing undone to discover the mara
uders and bring them to justice.
This is the second horse stealing
hee that has been held at Tecolote
this week. On Monday night 12
horses were driven out of pasture
and nothing has since been seen or
heard of them. Everything indicates
that there is band of road agents
with definite campaign ahead of
them operating in the neighborhood,
and the ranchers thereabouts are
greatly stirred up over the condition.
All summer stories have come into
the office of the sheriff of cattle and
horses missing, and many of the
ranges have not given up their full
quota of stock this year. Scarcely a
stock raiser that has not suffered by
the depTedations of the band, but no
trace has ever been found of their
lurking place. Like Robin Hood and
his merry men, the desperados leave
no trail. In the night they come, and
in the night they go, and no corral
or pasture that comes within the
scope of their operations but shows
greatly depleted population in the
morning.
The sheriff is determined to round
up the gang and will spare nothing
within his means to rid the country
of its midnight enemy.
