sue just now around hotel Hobbies and
the state house. The promoters of this
new county to b. formed out Of the
plains part Of Chaves and Eddy oouA-
ties up to few days ago had every
thing their own way, there being ne
serious opposition In sight. Old Eddy
finally awoke one bright morning aud
decided II was not ready to have one
third OF Its area cut away. Some Of
the people included within the lines Of
the new county without their consent
also were heard from. So old Eddy
sends delegation to the capital to
see about II. When W. +. McIlvain,
{. NJ. Richards and Capt. Il. p. Bujas
appeared In Santa Fe ON Monday,
something began TO happen right
away.
tiit nOuSt CUu-
mittH on county and county lines
gave the delegation u hearing. Capt.
Bujac spoke ut some length and pre-
sented some facts and figures that
made an impression on members Of the
committee. Earlier In the day q COM
promise had been suggested by the
Ilano county people that they were
willing to give up territory in south
eastern Eddy. This was brought before
the committee and discussed. The com
mittee later proposed an amendment
of lines, and by leaving eighteen miles
in the southeast part out Of Llano. The
report Of the committee is favorable
with this amendment and IL likely to
be- made 10 the house on Friday after
noon.
The opposition TO I.lano county fron

on Wednesday delegations from Chaves
county arrived to fight in favor. W. I
Atkinson Is hero. so Is Senator j. J..

county delegation is holding its own
and the end of the battle Is not yet in

Legislature are In attendance Of ths
funeral services over the remains of llis
late governor that on Wednesday and
Thursday comparatively little direct
work can be done by either side.
But on Friday the battle will he on in

The l.lano county bill Is likely to
