others. The chair named L. II. Tucker

on Saturday evening in Trinity hal

Ia the midst of much uncalled for On
discreditable confusion, incident to sew
eral deputy sheriffs and many others fro1
outside precincts attempting to how
down the regular organization aud seiz
forcble possession of the meeting, tn

the deputy sheriffs and other outsiders, tn
chairman regularly put the motion t
adopt the resolutions, and, being salts
J fed that majority of those present en-
titled to vote had voted for it, declared !
carried and the resolutions adopted.
A motion to adjourn was then carrie
and the meeting was formerly declare
dissolved by the chairman.
Then Messrs. Easley, Garcia, Segur
and Others sought to pass out of the hal
but the door was barred by the aforesai
deputies and outsiders, and the gentleme
named quietly raised window in tn
back part of the hall, passed out this
way and quietly repaired to their respe'
tive homes.
Since the last paragraph was placed
type, the New MEXICAN learns that M
Garcia managed to get out through tt
door and was Joined by Mr.. Easley on II
outside soon after.
