done with the buildings and the
improvements and Hon. Charles
Fl. Burke, Commissioner of In
dian Affairs proposed that a
large boarding scoool be estab-
lished for the education of Indian
children especially of the Navajo
Tribe. This plan met the inn

Carl Hayden who realized that
such school would not only aid
in the advancement and civil

JOHN |. SWEENEY
GETS JUDGMENT ON
COUNTY FOR $l25O

In the case Of John L. Sweeney
versus Navajo County, wherein
Sweeney sues Navajo County for
his salary as Justice of the Peace
of the Winslow precinct for the
period from January /, 1921
until April l, 1922. Judge j. E.
Jonesof Flagstaff sittingas Judge
of the Superior Court at Holbrook
gave judgment in favor of Mr..
Sweeney in the sum of 81, $50. 90
with interest from April /, 1922
and for court costs.
1t will be recalled that Mr..
Sweeney was ousted by the Board
of Supervisors of Navajo County
and that R. B. Walton was put
in his place. An action was
brought in the Superior Court by
the County Attorney to force
Sweeney to relinquish his office
and Judge E. Elmo Bollinger
sitting as judge at Holbrook
gave judgment against Sweeney.
whereupon Sweeney gave up the
records and papers Of the Justice
Office and appealed to the Su-
preme Court. The Supreme
Court reversed the decision of
the lower Court and re-instated
Mr.. Sweeney as Justice of the
peace.
During the period from the
time Mr.. Sweeney was ousted
until the Supreme Court rein
stated him, Mr.. Walton drew the
salary of Justice of the peace,
and refused to pay Mr.. Sweeney,
and was for this that Mr.. Swee-
ney sued the County and re-
covered judgement today.
The County Supervisors acted on
the advice ofthe County Attorney
in paying the wrong man, and
the mistake made was that the
law provides that when litigation
is pending over an office that
the Board of Supervisors shall
refuse to pay anyone until the
matter is finally settled by the
Supreme Court.

Roosevelt Indian School Established At Fort Apache

Interior so long as they shall be
required for Indian School pur-
poses.
The establishment of this new
Indian school undoubtedly means
that the road to Fort Apache,
which, in wet weather, is now
among the worst in Arizona, will
have to be improved. Congress-
man Hayden recently secured
the passage of a bill
through the House appropriation
SIS, 600 out of the tribal funds
of the Apache Indians to match
a like amount to be provided by
Apache County for the construc-
tion of a road from Cooley, east
ward to the reservation line. If
the Arizona State Highway de-
partment of Navajo County will
assist, it is believed that the
Indian Bureau will also recon-
mend a further appropriation
from Apache Indian Funds for
the improvement of the road
from Cooley to Fort Apache.
