A Batch Of Very Interesting Notes
From Grant County.
Special Correspondence. U'a 'aN
Silver City, N. M. oct. 21.-Judge
Frank Parker has not as yet rendered
any decision in the habeas corpus pro-
ceeding brought before him by the at
torneys of B. F. Gooch. He arrived in
Silver City last Thursday and the tes-
timony in the case was laid before him
and he has taken it under advisement
and will render his decision in a few
days.
Hon. II. B. FERGUSON arrived in the
city on yesterdays train and today
made a campaign speech from a float
on the main corner of the city. Other
speakers ON the ticket made short ad-
dresses.
Up to the present time the officers
have been unable to capture b. l..
Stanford, who escaped from the county
jail last week.
Hon. B. S. Rodey spent several days
in this part of the territory last week
making several speeches on statehood.
He undoubtedly made many converts
to statehood in Grant county.
Lieutenant Colonel Commeyges, who
will relieve Major Appel at the United
States sanatorium at Fort Bayard, will
arrive to take up his new duties the
latter part of this week. Major Appel
Will leave about the middle of Novem-
Der for his new assignment in the Phil
ippines. A petition to the secretary of
state was circulated in this city the
other day asking for the retention of
Major Appel at Bayard by his numer-
Gus friends in Silver City. The major,
who has had the work of the sana-
forum in charge since it was estab-
lished by the government, has been in
a position to do Silver City much good
in the way of advertising it as a health
resort and has influenced large num-
bers to come to this city on that ac-
count. Therefore, his departure will
be sincerely regretted by everyone.
The sanatorium was inspected by a
government official last week, who has
recommended to the department at
Washington some $4,000 in improve
ments. The interest that is being
taken in this institution for the treat
ment of the sick soldier boys by the
government promises to make it in a
few years one of the largest and best
equipped government hospitals or san
atoriums in the world.
Adolf Witzel. collector and treasurer
of Grant county, accompanied by his
wife, arrived last friday from Denver,
where Mr.. Witzel is now located in
business. He stated that he found the
treasurer and collectors office in ex-
cellent shape, owing to the efficient
services of his popular office deputy,
Clyde Smith.
The political outlook in Grant coun-
ty, especially on the county ticket, is a
difficult question to figure out. Owing
to the county being divided since the
last election it is figured by some that
the democratic majorities in Grant
county have been cut down %considera-
BILE. 1t is conceded by conservative
politicians on both sides the tickets
will undoubtedly run close and that
candidates for the county offices will
on both tickets be rather anxious until
all the returns are in. The candidates
on both tickets are out stamping the
county, and a hard fight is looked for
on election day.
Governor Otero, A. B. Fall, and w
A. Hawkins arrived in Silver City on
today's passenger train. They will dc
some campaign work in Grant county
| during the next few days.
