There are officers, active snd past, whose
reputation for good work is established
for all time. When those, who were so
fortunate as to receive their degrees In
such manner, meet these accomplished
craftsman, whether in lodge or street.
There Is q pleasanG greeting, happy
reference to lodge matters, and they
part with sincere regret. On the other
hand, there are those elevated to high
places, whose chief esire seems to be

duties are Performed without care as to

ROUNDED-UP AN EDITOR.

In the early spring of 1882 the writer visited Fl Paso, and calling on the Daily Times, was immediately assigned case in the composing room. At that time Editor Carrico was in charge of the paper, and was assisted in the local work by Dr. Booth since then the founder of the Needles Eye, of Needles, California, and several times elected sheriff Of San Bernadino county
 Studemeyer, an exTexas Ranger, was the marshall of the town, and only a few days previous had killed three men in a street fight, and wounded two or three more, hence he was con- sidered the right man in the right place." Many of the toughs of the border had congregated at the Pass City, and only a man who was an expert with a pistol could hold the job as marshal, at least for any definite period. But Studemey- CT had his playful moods, and on the evening before the writer's arrival he had been practicing on Parson Tays church bell with his ever ready and trusty pistol. Dr. Booth, who had a nose for news, dressed the incident up in a half-col. local. The Doctor was something of a humorist, and he touch ed the marshal up in an inoffensive way, but Studemeyer, as the sequel shows, had no sense of humor, and in stead of taking it as it was really in- after tanking up at the Pony Saloon called at The Times office. He was six feet three inches tall, and when he came into the office he wore linen
 tops, which caused him to look even

taller-a veritable god of war
 with lightning flashing from his eyes. He had a 45-colt's revolver in each pocket of his duster with the ] handles protrudiug. It was easy 10 see that he meant business. He walked ! uo to Mir. Carrico and in the most
 violent language denounced him as a liar, william and thief Csrrico was a Soutnerner. and fighter himself,
 but was unarmed. He tried to pacify
 the city marshal, but failed. He then
 walked back into the composing room closely followed by the marshal, who
 then had his guns in his hands. Dr.
 Booth was sitting at his desk in the corner of the room, bat was also un- armed and had nothing to say. The
 marshal then expressed his opinion Of
 the entire force, but seeing that there
 was no show for 8 fight finally walked
 out. He could have killed Carrico and
 Booth, but he was not man to take advantage Of sn uuarmed enemy.
 When he lei: A.he Ssnee he femai kcd
 that he would return later and come
 for business. CarricO and Booth of
 course immediately armed themselves
 and prepared for war. There were
 two compositors on the paper, Lou
 Schultz and Fatty Gimmel, who Were old time prospectors, and only came in
 to town to make bean money. They
 had mixed up with the Utes in Color ado, and also had a scrap with some of Victoria's braves near Lake Valley in
 1880. They were pretty tough hon.
 bres, and really enjoyed fight. They
 went to their room and returned with two winchesters, and four i5-revolvers. Carrico brought in couple of double barreled shot guns, and the office took on the appearance of an arsenal. But was his war-like call referred to in the mornings issue of tho paper. Both sides seemed willing to drop the matter, and so closed the incident of the bell ringing. Studemeyerand the Manning brothers, who kept vaudeville theatre were sworn enemies. Every body in Fl Paso knew thal when they met, some one would be killed. How ever, they seemed to avoid a meeting for several months after the bell-ring ing incident, but finally Studemeyer entered the theater, and made the last fight of his life, against great odds, and was killed He was kind d-hearted l well-meaning man, but like most others Of his kind, he had an uncOn- trolable desire to mix up in shooting 1 scrape every few months.

SEEKING MRS. GREENE.
Friend of Unfortunate Woman
 Reaches the City.

The following from the Fl Paso Times is of local interest, as some of the parties are well known in Clifton:
 J. c. Smith, well-kuOwn and repu- table man Of Clifton, Ariz., arrived in Fl PasO last night, and he came here because he saw in The Times that Mrs. Greene was locked up in the Juarez jail.
 Mrs. Greene" said Mr. Smith last night, lis my sister-in-law, and 1 think as much of her as I do of my own children. The first story published in The Times about her saving she ran away from her home at Snyder, Tex, to marry man by the name of Greene, and that he deserted her at Clifton last spring, was true. She was a mere child, scarcely 16 years of age, when she married him two years ago. She was ashamed to return home and face her mother, but 1 persuaded her to do so and gave her the money to go or. But it seems that when she reached FL Paso her courage failed her and she stopped here to get work.
 ''She has seen very little of the world and is innocent Of the ways Of bunco men. She rented cheap room at a lodging house on South Fl Paso street and the landlady introduced her to two men she supposed to be gentle men. As she had never seen JuarcZ the men easily persuaded her to visit that town with them, and the rascals used the girl as decoy to enable them to rob the old man and get away.
 When 1 reached here tonight l dis covered she had been released from the Juarez jail, and that The Times was instrumental in securing her re- lease. 1 am regular subscriber to The Times, and shall continue to take it. am going to take Mrs. Greene back with me or send her to her mother at Snyder
