Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1897-10-13
TERRITORIAL CHIP BASKET

The recent Pennington fruit festival
was grand success.
The contract has been let for substan-
tial and handsome brick school building
at Aztec. Clearly the chariot of progress
is moving right along in New Mexico.
The editor of the Socorro Advertiser
says that his office came near being blown
up the other day. This is concealed way
of saying that an irate grass widow recent
ly called upon the editor aforesaid.
The San Juan Times INDUCES in this
rather inquiaitive inquiry: "Do you
want gold?" Candor calls for an affirma-
tive answer, but a pocketful of silver
dollars will answer for the time being.
The farmers of Socorro county are al
! legged to have plenty of money this year.
Evidently they did not attend the Festival
of Mountain and Plain in Denver and
have been exempt from circus expenses.
The commissioners of Chaves county
have notified the district attorney to sus
pend all proceeding in delinquent tex
suits till further orders. There is moth.
ing suspensRry about the Eddy county
| board.
Hon. W.. G. Wrigley of Rstop, is ably
officiating as assistant district attorney in
Colfax county. It is limited that the
genial and talented gentleman would not
spurn promotion to the office of United
States attorney.
Hon. Numa Raymond of Las Cruces,
having recently visited all the capitals of
effete Europe, Is now visiting his cattle
in Ii ty md ha
Ana County Republican says that "Las
Cruces looks dull"
All the papers along the line of the
Santa Fe road south of Albuquerque re-
port that "Don Felix Martinez and family
of Las Vegas, passed through on Tuesday
for Ell Paso, where they will make their
home." It is fair to presume that the
fact is as above stated. .ss as Z ass:..-. ss-...s.
President Mckinley will doubtless be
somewhat surprised to learn from the
Lordsburg Liberal that everyone Of the
five Judges who will be appointed to at
tend to the judicial matters in this terri
tory will be residents of the states. Not
one will be appointed from the terri
tory"
Mrs. j. L. Hutchison and her little
daughter, of Springer, have gone east for
two months. Doubtless this explaine,
why Editor Hutchison of the Stockman,
failed to call on his friends of the New
MEXICAN when he was in Santa Fe the
other day. He felt that his serious case
Of "the blues' should be quarantined.
Hon. George Curry and Forest McKin-
ley left for Tularosa on Tuesday. Mr.. For
est Mckinley will look over the land that
has been reserved for government park,
and ought to recommend setting aside
the reservation as the people need the use
of that county more than the government
does to hold it for persons to look at
Dona Ana County Republican.
Fruit note in the White Oaks Eagle:
u. N. Coe marketed another load of
choice fruit here Thursday, and presented
the Eagle force with box that can't be
equaled anywhere. The box was placed
on the scale, the apples counted and there
was pound of fruit for every apple in
the box, weight of box deducted. The
collection was composed OF three differ
ent varieties, to-wit: White King, Pee
waukee and Fameuse. Mr.. Coe has con-
tracted his entire crop to the White Oaks
merchants
The Index is in receipt Of information
to the effect that on Tuesday night last
Mrs. Henry Campbell of this place,
skipped out for parts unknown with
Frank Riley, alias One. Eyed Riley. Mrs.
Campbell is the mother of three children,
and to the credit of the runaways they
took the youDsters with them. Mr.. Camp
bell is at present working in Colorado -
San Juan Index. Doubtless he will be
called No-Eyed Riley after he lives
month or 80 with the deleotable Mrs.
Campbell.
