LINCOLN LINCOLN COUNTY. n M. SEPTEMBER 25, 1884
RUIDOSA--Sept. al.

We are having lots of rain the
last few days.
Frost has made its appearance but
done no damage.
DR.. Blazer, of the Agency, has
been visiting Ruidoso.
Mrs. |. n. Bailey and daughter
have gone east on visit, to remain
until May.
|. n. Bailey will take charge of
the blacksmith shop at the Indian
Agency next month.
Chris Herring, brother-in-law of
S. J. Slane, is here on visit from
California, and in search of u loca-
ton for a cattle ranch.
Capt. w. w. Brazel and daugh-
ters, Miss Elite and Clara, have
been visiting Tularosa and brought
back lots of grapes and peaches.
We have found one man in Lin
coin county in favor Of Ben Butler.
He says the cock-eyed man of desti-
ny ought to win, and thinks man
who will voluntarily live in Massa-
chusetts deserves something.
Frank Lesnet, Esq, has bought
the Bowling interest out entire and
the firm is now Frank Lesnet. He
has a stock of goods on the road
from Santa F'e and will open up the
old store in few days.
A very remarkable Hale storm
started on Ruidoso on Sunday, and
passed over to Rio Bonito 1t re-
suited in the marriage of Mr.. John
Hale and Miss Clark. 1t was a very
enjoyable affair and large circle
of acquaintances were present. The
happy couple will go to house-keep-
ing on Ruidoso with the best wishes
of all.
The Prohibition movement here
has had "A serious drawback. At the
last meeting it was reported that
Frank Lesnet had two barrels OF
whiskey on the road. Thirteen mem
bers Immediately resigned and came
back to the Democratic ranks. A
resolution was sent to St. John ask
ing him to withdraw from the can,
vass. Capt. Brazel, j. c. Swarts
Jim Conners, l. n Bailey and other
avowed temperance leaders, arc il
despair.
1t sadly pains us truly "loil'
Democrats to see the strife going on
in the Republican Congressional
camp. Why don't people let the
Santa Fe ring alone? Good, honest
men like Tom Catron, VIM. Breeder
and Steve ElI<ins ought not to be
meddled with when they attempt tc
run a convention. 1t spoils the com
bination. Republicans ought not tc
kick; it puts the ring to the expense
of buying them up. They have not
collected any court house bonds ol
made any money out of the capito
steal yet. BE patient, gentlemen
you'll get there. |. \. PECK.
