A hearing on the legality of the arrest of internationally famous dance artist Jacques Cartier has been postponed until July 3, municipal Judge R. E. Chavez said today.

The hearing for Cartier, who faces a charge of resisting arrest and verbal assault on an officer, was originally scheduled today. Police stopped Cartier's car last Wednesday on a narcotics check when they spotted what they thought was marijuana in the vehicle. However, the plants were later found to be marigolds. Police contended that Cartier was abusive to officers, but Cartier contended that officers injured him during the arrest. For many years, Cartier, now 74, performed a special dance at the annual burning of Zozo- bra at Santa Fe's Fiesta.

He is now a landscape artist. Markets The following quotations are Selected New York Stocks supplied by Quinn Company, E. 4th, Clovis.

Officials Hopeful On Artesia Facility rectionsDeparlment of flcials today expressed new optimism in their efforts to locate a co-ed correctionalfacilityfor juveniles in the city of Artesia. Staff members of the department spoke before a meeting of the Artesia City Council Tuesday night and once again outlined plans for the faculty which the state hopes to establish at the former Artesia College. The Corrections Department ran into opposition last week when several residents of city went before the Legislative Finance Committee to present petitions opposing the facility's location in Artesia. However, Corrections Department Secretary Howard Leach said the meeting with the city council Tuesday night had given the state new hope that the facility can be established. "We feel a lot better about the possibility of the correctional facility being located in Artesia," Leach said after the meeting.

Leach said the departmept would undertake a survey in AJr- tesia to determine how much support and opposition exists towards the proposal. He said the information gathered would be presented to the next session of the legislature when the department seeks legislative approval of its reorganization plans. The plans call for the establishment of regional co-ed facilities for juveniles atSpringerand Artesia and phasing out of the Girls Welfare Home in Albuquerque, The state is seeking tp pug. chase the Artesia College for buildings now are owned by a San Antonio-- based company.

Mrs. S. p. Yates, one of the residentsopposing the establishment of the co-ed facility in AT- lesia, said she believed the Corrections Department should build a new facility somewhere else in New Mexico. She told the city council her group felt establishment of such a facility in Artesia would hurt image and growth.

That is where the shooting took place. Evidence at the scene and an interview with the suspect indicated that the two men had stopped their cars. Sutherland apparently alighted from his vehicle and was standing on the road. He reportedly told officers he saw Pennington bend over, thought he might be going for a gun and shot the man once with the .,30 caliber carbine- type automatic weapon he was holding in his hands. Pennington then reportedly started to drive away.

It was at that point that the additional bullets were fired at the driver of the car, prompting the later statement by the suspect that he didn't know why he kept shooting. Numerous bullet holes had punctured the driver and car, which traveled only a few yards before going into the left barrow ditch and coming to rest against the opposite incline. Officers recovered 15 empty catridge cases from one point in dirt road." Later information to officers indicated that the man with the gun drove up to the stalled car after the shooting, looked in and saw the driver slumped over in the seat, then drove away south along the road. After his arrest, Sutherland took officers to a point two miles south and a half-mile west of the shooting site. There, in the weeds behind a utility pole the automatic was found.

The shooting occured about, 12:45 p.m. Tuesday, Shortly before 2 p.m., two farmers driving along that road saw the car and driver lying over in the seat. They stopped at the State Police district headquarters on Mabry Drive to report a ''drunk" in his car. Agent Dodgin went to the scene, expecting to pick up the keys to a drunk's car so the man couldn't drive in that condition. Instead, he found the bullet-riddled body of Pennington.

The time was 2:02 p.m. Almost exactly three hours 5:03 p.m.—Sutherland was arrested at the home of his father, Robert G.

Mexico delegates to the National League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAO convention said today they will introduce a resolution calling on Gov. Bruce King to act on a request from Reies Lopez Tijerina for an executive pardon. Tijerina, the founder of the Mexican American Alianza organization, faces a prison sentence stemming from the 1967 raid on the Rio Arriba County Courthouse if he is unable to obtain a pardon from the governor. King has indicated he may not act on the request for some time and the state's delegation to the national LULAC conven- tioj) said they planned to introduce a resolution urging King to take "affirmative" action on Tijerioa's plea Albuquerque I.ULAC official Felix Vigil said the New Mexico delegation would also introduce a resolution calling for an investigation by the government of recent unrest in Farmington and Gallup. The incidents at Gallup and Farmington were sparked by the killings of several Indian men in recent months.

Indians who are unhappy with the police handling of the cases have been demonstrating in the two cities for several weeks. About 70 New Mexico LULAC members are attending the national convention which is expected to draw some 1,500 delegates from throughout the country. Among the featured speakers at the convention will be Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy and New Mexico Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Apodaca.

Army. (Continued From Page 1) aide Steve Bell as to the reasoning behind the Army's request for the building. Bell, speaking for Domenici, informed the Pentagon, spokesman that if the request was not withdrawn Clovis School System would, simply withdraw their proposed transfer of the building to the Library.

This move would also cause the library to lose a $60,000 federal grant. Bell noted that "Either way the Army goes they are not going to get the building." He further explained that the most the Army could do by this action would be to cause the loss of the funds, time spent on the transaction and to stir up anger within the community. Bell added that at the present time a Pentagon spokesman had informed him that the Army has placed a holding order upon possible need for the building. This holding action, if carried out, would delay the transfer at least 60 days and possible stop it altogether. The Pentagon spokesman said that the holding order had been given to the GSA because a request was "received from the local (Clovis) Army people." Bell commented that he had been in touch with the 6th Army in San Antonio and HEW in Dallas concerning the building and that they had been very cooperative in seeking to remove the holding order.

However, Bell explained that it is possible the order will not be removed and the transaction might be halted. He said Sen. Domenici was working on the Matter and that "If necessary we will go all the to the Secretary of the Arrtiy jn order to secure the tjiat, wpcd. was expected on the matter within 24 hours. requirements will be in 1990.

District Attorney Richard Rowley II supervised the booking and taking of a statement from Sutherland at the Clovis Police Department late Tuesday. There was some uncertainty at first about the name of the shooting victim. His South Carolina driver's license bore the name, "John L. Pennington." Agent Rickerson said a check with South Carolina authorities late Tuesday revealed that Pennington had a record of several traffic violations, although no criminal record. It was theorized that he may have used the alias to obtain a driver's license.

In the backseat of Pennington's bullet-riddled car was cardboard box of freshly laundered shirts and trousers, a construction worker's har- dhat and a leather tool belt. A carton of Winston cigarettes bearing South Carolina tax stamps was on the floorboard in the front. Also found among Pennington's possessions was a South Carolina court order dated June 10,1974, in which he was swarded custody of two children, David Pennington, 7, and Joseph Pennington, Kathleen Pennington was named as defendant in the action. Rickerson said Mrs. Pennington was believed to have been in Clovis about a month.
