County Seat Move Case in Sulphur Springs District
Attorney Gibson of Tombstone returns from Tucson and Phoenix where he argued the Cochise county board of supervisors dismissal of the county seat removal petition in December and a new petition from Douglas. He contends the board is in contempt of Judge O Connor and that the Supreme Court has not ruled on the matter. A citation may be issued if the board interferes with the pending appeal. Judge Franklin suggests the court calendar will be taken up in October with oral arguments. If the court finds the statute unconstitutional, funds for the county seat election could be wasted. The taxpaying public favors delaying action pending court pronouncement.
