the district court for this county mere
tomorrow The court without elther
a grand or a petit jury, Will consloer
those matters which may come before
him. and the term will not last more
than two days, in all probability.
On Wednesday of next week, judge
Mcdler and District Attorney Haini-
ton will go to Estancia for the puf-
pose OF meeting with the board OF
county commissioners. An effort VIII
then he made TO straighten out the
boards records under the provisions
of the new salary bill. In this county,
since the election OF county Officers
under the provisions of the enabling
act. there have been four county
clerks, and the board has found 1t
necessary, before the salary was ap-
portioned. to have the travelling audi
tor examine the books of these otfi-
cials in an effort to arrive at an eqhit-
able apportionment. Mr.. Whittier
has been working on these books Tor
several days, but It is believed that
before the records in the commission
ers' court in this county can he passed
the district Judge will have to eX-
anime into a number of items, ana
very possibly make several orders. It
is for this purpose the judge and dis
trict attorney will meet with the
board at Estancia next week There
will be no spring term of the district
court i'm Torrance county this year
No Spring Term.
Considering the conditions In Lin
coin county the court believed that
there was not sufficient business to
warrant the expense Of converting IN a
spring termA This decision was prae-
tically reached by the court prior To
the escape of prisoners from the
county iail here-inmates whose al
legged wrongdoings might have called
for reversal of the courts opinion az
to holding the spring term. However,
with these defendants at large, there
is little for the court to do.
The two prisoners who escaped a
couple Of weeks ago, Daniel Sandoval
and c. A. Jessup were being held on
charges Of larceny and forgery. The
former was arrested and placed in
iah here last October on d complaint
sworn out by flol Herring, deputy
sheriff, charging the defendant with
the larceny of horses belonging to j.
II. Jenkins. At the preliminary hear
ing, he was bound over to the grand
jury in the sum Of $1,000. which bond
he made IN January and was released.
A few days after he is supposed to
have stolen two horses here an CARR
zozo. His trial was taken up by the
officers and on February II, at the
preliminary hearing here he was
again bound over to the grand jury
on this second charge in the sum OF
$500.
Jessup was apprehended at French,
n. NJ, March IA, by a Pinkerton ope-
rator and turned over to the sheriff
of this county at Ration a couple OF
DAYS later. He was wanted here by
the Exchange bank for forgery. He
had assumed the name of r. +. Mo-
sen, of Bsbee, Ari2, and had sue
ceeded in getting a Sl0e draft cashed.
He later appeared in Albuquerque
where he charged police officer
with rohbing him of several hundred
collars in the middle of the after
noon, and then went on to Las We
gas and endeavored to get some cash
on a forged draft.
on the criminal side of the court,
Judge Medler will have little to do
here this week 1t is understood that
| Tom Riley, bound over to the grand
! jury last month on a charge of forg-
cry, desires to plead guilty to an in
formation and get started on his peni-
tentiary sentence. lie forged the
name of p. r.. Hardcastle, of Torrance
to a couple of small checks drawn on
| the Farmers bank of Corona and
passed them on business men here.
Edward Raymon will be before the
court on writ of habeas corpus. He
| has been in confinement since last De-
tober, charged with robbing w. F
Dunn At the time of the alleged rob.
berry, John f. Dugan was bound over
with Raymon, but after several
months confinement he was released
by Judge Medler on habeas corpus
proceedings, the courts action in the
matter being based upon physicians
affidavits to the effect that the de-
PENDANT was a victim of consumption.
Another habeas corpus matter is
expected to be presented to the court
Monday Last week Ed Massie, JUS
tice Of the peace, bound over to the
grand jury J. j. Ayres and Harriet
McIvers on a charge of adultery,
sworn out by j. X. Ayres a son of one
of the defendants. The defense called
the attention of the examining magls-
trate to the fact that the offense
charged in the complaint wac not a
crime in New Mexico. the statutes be-
| ing silent on the subject. However,
| the defendants were bound over and
promptly gave the required bond. A
commitment will be asked for Mon
| dav and the matter taken before the
court for its action.
A few civil matters will come up for
consideration
