in very bad health. Mr.. Peterson is an
old resident Of Custer county and for
years was one of the most well-to-do
and influential citizens of the county,
but misfortune came upon him, he lost
his wife, and since that time he has ex-
perienced some of the bitter experiences
of life. He was a splendid man as this
writer knew him for FIVE years, begin

friend is now in such poor health, but
hope he may be benefited here. When
this writer established the Hermosa

name entered upon the books, and he
kept up the good record all the time We
were there. He was as good as gold"

Mr.. Wicker, who came in from Elk
Mountain about the middle of the week
reports that the late cold wave has not
seriously affected the stock in that re
gion. The wolves, however are very
bad, and the situation in this respect is
getting worse all the time. How to rem.
edy or abate the depreciation by the
wolves on the range is a vexed problem
still unsclved, but it is evident that some
different measures must be resorted to
as the few trappers on the range are not
equal to the situation.

1T is POSTMASTER DENNY.
George E. Oenney Resigned and
George e. Denny Appointed.

Old Albuquerque has new postmas
ter in name but not in person. The
Citizen received a tip today that post
master George E. Denney of Old Town,
who has held that position since 1888,
had resigned. A representative of The
Citizen called on Postmaster Denny
and that gentleman Immediately sub
stantiated the report that George f.
Denney had resigned. He also gave
out the news that George E. Denny is
the name of the succeeding postmas-
ter. 1t came about like this. When
Mr.. Denny's commission as postmaster
was made out in 1888 his name was
spelled with the second "e," which was
wrong and has caused him untold
trouble during the years that have
passed. About a month ago, Mr.. Den
ny, wishing to rectify the mistake,
wrote the postmaster general of the
error and asked for new commission
A week ago the new commission
came.
