LOrdsburg saloon for some time this
summer, and who recently went to
Silver City, where be was running a
game in a saloon, got into a dispute
Saturday evening with Constable
Montez, over a play at thu game.
BrOugh got a SiXshOoter from the bar
and had the best Of the play, as the
constable was unarmed. The con

went out to meet him. When he saw
the constable coming he turned loose
both barrels Of the shot gun, which
vas loaded with birdshOt. 1t was
early in the evening and the street
was fun OF shoppers. None of the
shot hit the man aimed at, but eight
other other people received them.
Luckily none Of them were seriously
damaged. Justice Of the Peace New

Lordshurg's Oldest land mark passed
this week. The Ownby House was
toru down to make room for a new
brick hotel, which will be erected on
its site. The house was originally
built on the lot where the Myrtle
hotel nov stands. Its builders did
not make a success of it as a hotel,
and SmYth & WinsOr foreclose a lien
on the building for lumber furnished.
At this time the Ralston House occu-
pied the site on the front street.
October q, 1888, the big fire" des-
troyed most Of the town, including
the RalstOn House, and including
a two Story hotel owned by Mr.
Ownby, situated near where he now
lives. After the fire Mr.. Ownby
bought the building from SIN, tn g.
Windsor, and the lot on which the
Ralston House stood. When he first
tried to buy the lot it was offered him
for a thousand dollars. He refused to
buy, and in a short time it was offered
him for n hundred and fifty dollars,
and he purchased. He moved the
house down on the lot, and there es-
tablished the Ownby House. For all
these years the house has been the
temporary home of the traveller, and
a landmark in the town.

Prof. w. ii. Seamon, FROM El Paso,
was out to the Dundee mine this week
and gave it thorough inspection. He
found. things much to his liking, es.
pecially the large body Of ore recently
discovered in sinking. This ore IS
about six feet wide, and all shipping
ore. At the time the professor inspect
ed it the miners had gone down on il
about three feet, so OF course it was
impossible to tell how large a body it
would prove to be. The professor
thinks that the Dundee can not be a
large dividend payer until concentrate
ing works are placed on the ground.
In order to ship the ore has to be care
fully sorted, and only a fraction Of it
is shipping ore, while there are large
bodies of ore that car be successfully
concentrated and the product shipped
to a good advantage. 1t is under
stood that the company expects 10 the
future to erect concentrating works.
The sooner it does so the sooner the
stockholders will receive large and
regular dividends.

The Minnesota primary election
system marks a new era In politics.
and is revolution not even second to
the Aurtralian ballot"
Thus said Senator Washburn Of Min
nesota. after he had watched the re-
suits of the new direct. concurrent pri-
mary election law, used for the first
time in Hennepin county, Minnesota,
on Sept. IS last.
Ever since the public has been oper-
ating under convention system 1t
has always been urged that If the peo-
pie would only take an interest in the
primaries and the caucuses there
would not be so many mistakes in the
selection of candidates. If this Is true,
then the most successful primary re-
form is one that will bring out the to-
tai vote. By the plan of holding con-
current primary on registration day,
Hennepin county brought out more
votes at the primary election than 1t
did at the previous general election
the percentage being 110 In favor OF
the primary law. Therefore, from that
standpoint alone. 1t was success.
After the law was enacted by the
Minnesota legislature and before its
actual test the principle found such
favor that 1t was made part of Wis

Oscar +. q. Day author OF the con-

Minneapolis Tribune. In an article
in that paper the day after the prima-
ries, Sept 10. he said: Every man
who has been even remotely Identified
with professional politics In the past
was defeated. Three Of the best alder
manic candidates nominated avowcd
that they never would have encoun-
tered the cumbersome processes and
devious strategy OF convention. but
would go before the people under the
new primary law.
1T has brought ont class OF men
for candidates that would never run
before. and the success OF these men
will bring out larger number OF their
kind at the next primary.
There were polled ON this one pri-
mary election 1880 votes. and without
any friction, some district voting al

law to a precinct

There is no doubt, as Mr.. Day indi-
Gates, that many Of the politicians are
quietly fighting the present law, but so
we'll did the law take with the masses.
that while the politicians have striven
to secure an organization to repeal it,
the prospective legislators are afraid
Of the public protest that would fol-

will in all probability be extended over
the entire state.
In regard to the charge of cumber
someness made against the law by ma
chine politicians, Its author says: AT
first 1t was urged that the law was
cumbersome and Its machinery impos-
sible of application. 1t would require
ticket twelve feet long. not over
twenty votes could be polled in an
hour; the vote could not be counted In

tested by actual trial and have been
shown to be totally without founda-
tion.
