CerlHS FlteS.-1ne BEST OF Feellng
Prevailed, and Everybody congrat-
ulates Everybody Else.
Miss Claire Kelly, the charming
young daughter of P. A. Kelly, is
queen of the Ell Paso Midwinter Car
nival
The contest closed at 80 Satur-
day night in the midst of storm Of
enthusiasm, and the judges announced
Miss Kelly the recipient of the high
est nonor Ell Paso ever bestowed upon
a young lady.
The contest was the most spirited
one ever seen in Ell Paso and probably
the most good humored one. Long be-
fore the opening of the contest crowds
began to gather in the corridors of
the Sheldon hotel and clubs and con-
solidations of clubs began.
The count when the general ballots
were counted at O'Clock gave Miss
Kelly I0,OI3, Miss Trumbull 3,O4s and
Miss Schultz 2,421. With these figures in
sight the supporters of Miss Trumbull
and Miss Schultz had to put up over$70O
to place their candidates even with
the leauer. Money to do this was quick
ly raised and enough more to give
the winner a close race, had not bluff.
fing begun.
At $3.50 Senator Turney, chairman
of the committee, announced that the
ballOting would be secret from then
on and would close promptly at 10:3O.
Cheers followed the announcement
and those interested began arranging
their plans. At 10 O'Clock the excite
ment began and it was amusing in the
extreme. ST Ryan was the leader of
the Kelly forces and j. S. Eldridge
of Mexico championed the cause of |
Miss Trumbull. Miss Schultz had
thrown her support to Miss Trumbull |
at the solicitation of many of the |
Iriends OF tfrc-
ST Ryan and Mr.. Eldr1dge found their |
way to the judges stand at 1915 and |
the scene grew more interesting. Mr.. |
Ryan drew a sack of gold from his |
grip and threw a thousand dollars On
the table. While it was being counted |
IF. Eldridge followed suit by putting
up a hand full of bills. 1t looked big
but counted small. Mr.. Ryan thought |
they were working him and were go
ing to put up too much money at the |
last moment SO he threw up two large
sacks of shining gold that frightened |
the supporters of Miss Trumbull out |
of the game. Mr.. Ryan put up S29CO
at one time.
The count was made at 1914 show |
ing the vote at follows:
