occurred.

dance. Allison said dancing was the
road to perdition.
Naturally such a dad got fear

and his frantic talk. 1t come to the
point where he chased Santiago
away from the house and told him
to take his fiddle and never show his
face inside their picket fence again.
Santiago come back to the ranch
crushed to a wafer. He couldn't
eat and he couldn't sleep. He just
rolled one cigarette after another
and smoked it.

peeIsion on aReeaIID Law.


A suit to test the Washington law
for the recall of officers was heard by
the supreme court of the state in
Pybus VS.. Smith, city clerk, in which
the plaintiff, a councilman of the city
Of Wenatchee, sought to have the city
clerk enjoined from calling a special
election to submit the question Of his
recall to the voters. 1t appeared that
the charge against the plaintiff was
that he agreed to and did trade votes
with another councilman on matters
pending before the common council,
but the plaintiff contended that the
charge was not one for which he could
be recalled. The lower court dismissed
the plaintiffs suit and in affirming the
Judgment the supreme court said:
Whether this appellant could be
convicted OF a misdemeanor in our
state upon the charge here made may
be regarded as somewhat doubtful.
But we are. however. of the opinion
that the facts here charged against the
appellant, il true, do constitute NAL
feasance in office on his part, within
the meaning of that word as used in
our constitutional and statutory recall
provisions, and form sufficient legal
cause for submitting to the voters OF
the city the question Of his recall ana
discharge from public Office"
