GOVERNOR 0TERO
ARRIVED LAST NIGHT
His Trip from the New Mexico Colorado
Line to Santa Te Was a Continuous
Ovation by Crowds of En-
thasiastic People.
The RECEPTION COMMITTEES PLIGHT

Governor Otero returned last evening
at 11:4O o'clock from Washington on the
beated Santa Fe train from the east.
With him was the Santa Fe reception
committee that had met him at Lynn on
the Colorado state line and Hon. II. O.
Bursum. The regimental band was at
the depot and despite the lateness of the
hour there was present quite crowd of
people that cheered Governor Otero
| loudly. A much larger crowd had been
at the depot to meet the train at $40
| O'Clock and was disappointed because
| the governor failed to arrive at that time
but thought that he had after all decided
to stay at Las Vegas over night.
The trip of Governor Otero was one
continuous ovation from Lynn until
Santa Fe. The reception at Ration was
a most enthusiastic one and at Las We
gas large crowd was assembled at the
depot. Just as Governor Otero was
about to respond to the welcome given
him, the train started and everyone
scrambled for the cars. Judge McFie
was too late and was left in Las Vegas.
Although Governor Otero is consider
ably fatigued, he is hale and hearty and
received today the personal congratula-
tions of scores of his friends who called
at the executive mansion for that pur-
pose. Naturally, he is elated over his
signal triumph.
The reception committee after 1t left
Ration yesterday morning to meet Gov
ernor Otero's train at Lynn had quite
an experience. Its carriage broke
down two miles from Ration and over
five miles had to be footed in the hot
sun and over the steep Ration mountain
to Lynn. Gradually one after the other
member of the committee Jagged be-
hind, until the committee was divided
into four parties dragging their weary
way over the mountain. Hon. b. M.
Read and Territorial Secretary j. w.
Reynolds boarded freight train few
miles from Lynn. Secretary Reynolds
was ordered to leave the car on which
he had jumped but made his way to an
other car out of the sight of the watch
full brakeman. One after the other
into Lynn until the committee
was together again when the train ar
rived. On board of the train with Gov
ernor Otero were several Arizona Off |
cials including the territorial secretary.
Messrs. j. Leahy and Van Houten had
gone to Trinidad to meet Governor
Otero. Chief Justice Mills and Hon.
Charles A. Spiess of Las Vegas, met the |
party at Wagon Mound, Chief Justice
Mills accompanying it as far as Lamy. |
The Albuquerque delegation failed to
turn up but Hon. F. A. Hubbell tele- |
graphed that it had been his intention
to come to Lamy today to meet Gov
ernor Otero with large Albuquerque
delegation and to accompany him to
Santa Fe.
The reception committee from Santa |
Fe which met Governor Otero at Lynn
consisted of Judge j. R. McFie. Hon.
j. w. Reynolds, Hon. M. R. otero, Dis
trict Attorney E. C. Abbott, District
Clerk A. M. Bergere, Hon. B. M. Read,
