Its birthplace is Ohio, its founder Iustus
II. Rathbone and the date February to.
1864. And since that small beginning it
has spread from sea to sea, having lodges
in almost every hamlet in every state and
territory, bringing under its banner men
of all religious creeds, of every political
opinion, and not the least of these. num-

Tears and love for the gray
We meet annually to express our love for
those who have gone before, to renew our
faith in the principles of our order, to re-
call the charitable deeds of our departed,
to cover the hallowed ground that contains
their remains with fragrant flowers; and,
while performing these solemn ceremonies,
to not forget our duty to the living; to so
live that we may each of us, when we
are called to go hence. share in the bless

never-ending day.
Col. Prchard followed with an eloquent
address, taking up the history and purpose
of the order and its work as harmonizer
between the north and south, after the
war, showing where in social sense it
has been the greatest factor in closing the
chasm caused by sectional hatred during

DECORATION DAY.
G. A. R. and Knights Of Pythias
Observed Day With Appro-
pirate Ceremonies.

Decoration day was httingly observed
here by Kearney Post G.. A. r. and the
order of Knights Of Pythias, and by our
people generally The G. A. II. headquarters
we're profusely decorated with flags and
bunting, and though the membership Of
kearney Post is yearly diminishing a ma
jority of those yet living in the vicinity of
White Oaks were present and took part in
the exercises. Concluding their cere-
Knights of Pythias hall in body and
there seated as guests of the order listened
to the beautiful decoration ceremonies of
the Knights, which were an interesting
feature of the days program. At the
close of the ritualistic ceremonies address
es W ere made by no. A. Haley and Col.
G.. W. Prichard, both of which were
littingly appropriate for the occasion.
Mr. Haley's address which he read from
manuscript was as follows:
Veterans of the Grand Army, Members
of other Army Associations, Knights,
Ladies and Gentlemen: We have met
here today in accordance with custom
and in the pursuance of an object that
has for its design purpose that is most
sacred
From time immemorial war and its dread
alarms have animated and inspired every
nation of the earth. And while, necessa-
rily. there were triumphs and defeats,
there were also cheers and tears-cheers
for the victorious living, tears for the heroic
dead
In the earliest pages of history we fine
the women of Israel singing, Saul has
slain his thousands, but David his tens OIL
thousands. Then, when the Babyloniar
empire reached height of glory and mag
nificence that it could i'll brook the existence
of possible rival, we find Nebuchad
nezzar, with his army, knocking at the
gates of Jerusalem; finally capturing anc
destroying the city and carrying off the
captive Jews to his own capital and it is
said that by the waters of Babylon they
sat down and wept
When Hannibal, possibly the creates
military genius that ever lived crossed the
Alps invaded Italy, dealing death and de
struction as he went; three Roman armies
melted before his onslaughts, and the gate
of the Eternal City ratified on their hinges
there were cheers and plaudits on the on,
hand for the victor, on the other tears ant
sorrow. The tide of battle shifted; Han
nibal was recalled to defend Carthage
Rome great rival was tottering to its fall

and burned and the inhabitants slain
Scipio, the Roman general, returned t
Rome and was accorded triumph sue
as Rome itself had never SEEN for he ha

sary, its site was obliterated and left tn
Romans masters of the world. Well ma
Rome extend to her savior magnltcen
triumph; but at what a cost had it bee
secured Thousands of their noblest ha
fallen in the conflict and while the shout
of the multitude were acclaimirg the victo
and the victory, there were other thousand

R. D. ARMSTRONG
is SHERIFF.
A Short Review of the Decision
of Judge Mcmillan in the
Sheriff Contest Case.
FORT STANTON ANNIHILATED
Patie nts of the Santa rium Wards of the
United States Government and Not Cit
ixens Of Lincoln County.

United States Government and Not Cit
izens Of Lincoln County.
The following salient features of Judge
ID. H. Mcmillan decision in the contest
of r. d. Armstrong vs. ]no. W. Owen for
the office of sheriff of Lincoln county, is
taken from that document as published in
the last issue of the Socorro Chieftain:
At the election last fall in Lincoln
county, Rob't d. Armstrong, republican,
and John w. Owen, democrat, we're candi-
dates for the Office of sheriff, the returns
showing that Armstrong received ia votes
and Owen us votes A certificate Of
election was issued to Owen and he enter
ed upon the duties of the Office January /.
Armstrong brought contest proceedings in
due form.
The ground of the contest may be best
stated in the words of the decision as fol-
lows: The principal ground upon which
the contest is found is that the persons
who lived on the Fort Stanton Military
Reservation, and who voted at the election
in question, were not qualified voters at
such election for the reason that legal
residence could not be acquired on such
military reservatson for election purposes. y
The decision then gives history of the
founding of the Fort Stanton reservation
sets forth the fact that the county COM
missioners had set apart the reservation as
votes on the reservation and Armstrong 20,
and proceeds as follows
''All the persons who voted at the cleo
ton in question were either employees,
attendants, or patients at said hospital
All patients were maintained at public
expense.
Further: A broad view of the ques-
ton involved might impe the court to
the conclusion that for election purposes
the reservation in question is no part of
the territory of New Mexico" Judge Nc
MILAN gives his reasons for this view of
the case and proceeds: In this view per-
sons residing on the reservation would be
as foreign to New Mexico for electionspur-
poses or citizenship therein as though they
resided in Texas or Arizona.
The decision cites numerous and high
authorities in support OF this statement
and continues:
"The adoption of this view, however, is
unnecessary to the disposition of this case
The case may be disposed of limiting ON
inquiry to the status OF the patients at the
hospital and as TO whether or not they be
came residents within the meaning o
the statute for election purposes by simply
becoming patients at the hospital anc
having no other status in the precinc
where they cast their votes than that o
patients at a United States hospital main
tanned at public expense on military
reservation exclusively under Fedora
jurisdiction and control
Numerous authorities are quoted on thi
point and il is concluded that such patients
are not residents for election purposes anC
that. therefore, their votes should be dis
allowed
Judgment is given for the contestant.

been rcscntenccd and kept in readiness

Martin has in measure recovered his
nerve since the announcement made by his
attorney that he will attempt to save the

buoyed up his spirits that he chats freely
with the death watch and jokes with those

death chamber is located.
The death chamber was recently papercd

MANURE FED STOCK
IN THE DIARIES
CITY PHYSICIAN WILL RECOMMEND
OFFENDERS BE PUNISHED.

DR.. Sullivan, the city physician, has
about completed an inspection OF the
daires from which Butte receives the
greater part OF its milk supply, and the
result OF the inspection, it is said will be
the recommendation that the city council
adopt an ordinance making it mis-
demeanor for dealers TO sell milk from any
ranch where manure is fed to stock.
DR.. Sullivan found many cases where
milch cows are being fed manure carted
from the city, and he says that at present
there is no ordinance by which the ofiense
may be punished. He says that the prac-
tice, while not dangerous is an uncleanly
one and should be prohibited.
Dr. Sullivan's administration of the city
health Office is one that is causing general
satisfaction. The public appreciates the
regulation that he has put in force and
the many improvements that he has been
instrumental in introducing in the sani-
taton OF the city,

GIL TAKES UP CHARGES ON
SUSPENDED POLICEMEN.
ALTERATION WITH HARRISON
Trouble Between Brother Officers Grew
Out Of Quarrel Between Landlady of
Roonine House and Inmate.

The police committee OF the city council
met last night TO consider the case OF
Officer Ruddy, suspended from the police
force OH December by Mayor Mullins on
complaint OF Dir. p. III. Mccarthy and
Officer Harrison. Three hours were spent
by the committee in hearing testimony in
the case. when an adjournment was taken
until today. At o'clock this afternoon
the hearing Of the case was resumed
The trouble grew out Of difficulty at
the Leyson block, a rooming house con-
Quoted by Mrs. Bennett, and in which DIR.
McCarthys offices were located at the time.
There was an alteration between the doc
tors sister, Mrs. Leary, also living in the
house, and Mrs. Bennett, the landlady.
Mrs. Bennett called Officer Ruddy in to
suppress disturbance, it was said, but
as he had an urgent call elsewhere at the
time, he left to return later.
Officer Harrison was then asked by Mrs
Bennett to come to the house and he went
with her When Ruddy returned to the
place he found Harrison there talking with
the ladies'. According to the testimony
Ruddy was dispeased at the presence of
Harrison and quarrel between the officers
followed, the end being that Ruddy in
formed Harrison that he was under arrest
and marched with his fellow officer to the
city Jail
Officer Harrison then lodged complaint
against Ruddy charging him with conduct
unbecomng an officer, and acting on this
complaint Ruddy was suspended by the
mayor until after an investigation Of the
case by the police committee.
