ONCE Seth B. Orndorff assumed his
y duties as sheriff of e. Paso county
he has named 4S7 deputies. All
but a dozen or so Of these nave been
or are special deputies, while in most
cases not paid by the county wearing
badges and carrying guns
Many Of these special deputies are
in responsible or hazardous POSITIONS
such as special detectives, watchmen,
street car motormen, bank messen-
gers. cashiers, etc. But many OF them
are men wLo have no obvious need
Of a special deputy's commission with
its permit TO carry arms
Under the law, says the sheriff,
there is no way to give permit 70
carry a gun except 10 commission MIN
During Mr.. Orndorffs first term.
which ended December 1, 1918, the
sheriff commissioned 1886 deputies.
OF that number Mr.. Orndorff with
drew by cancellation SIS, leaving Isl
commissions in the county These
Isl Commissions continued to float

that Mr. Orudorffs first term expired
and a sheriff cannot appoint deputies
TO serve longer than his own term
OF office.

the sheriff since he entered office,
Isl were issued since he entered his
second term on December ], 1918.

ments began to be looked into.
