only one no license town Woodbury..
voted to grant license, which leaves
only 49 possible license towns in the
state for the coming year. The towns

BENEFIT OF
LICENSE LAW
SOberest Town Meeting Day ever
Seen in Bennington.

One of the benefits accruinc, to the
present license law was the quiet way
in which town meeting passed of Tues
day, Under the old prohibitory law
it was common to have plenty of in
toXicated men in the hall arguing or
disturbing the meeting in seme way,
while intoxicated men on the streets
were plenty.
Tuesday not bar was opened, and
not an intoxicated man was seen in the
hall. or on the streets, and as soon as
the license vote was declared there was
a general exodus of the voters to their
homes.

Inc small vote OF tho demOcratic
candidates for grand jurors was owing
to the fact that the democratic caucus
nominated five candidates while the
town meeting voted to elect only four.
Every straight Democratic ballot,
therefore, had to be thrown out as far
as grand jurors were concerned, as
five candidates we're voted for and
there was no way of determining which
four of the FIVE on the ticket were in
tended.

JUDGE ., >. EAsLEY DEAD.
He Had Started on = Trip to the
Mountains and Died While In
Lincoln County.

c County.
Judge S. B. Easley died yesterday
at oon in Lincoln county. and the
remains were brought to this city
this morning and placed in the Ullery
mortuary. The widow and daughter
in Chicago were notified this morn
ing, and the remains will be held m
til they are heard from. The deceased
came to this city about Two years
ago from San Antonio. TEXAS. AMI
has been nracticing law in this city
and at Carlsbad. He was an able at
torney. and when he first came TO
tice, but recently has been unable to
attend to much business or account
of the excessive use of Intoxicating
liquors. He had a horse stealing case
to defend at the last term of court,
and became incapacitated during the
trial. Judge Pope was lenient and
adjourned court to give him a chance
to his wits. He finished the
case and the prisoner was convicted.
He appeared to lose interest in his
business since that time, and his
practice had rapidly disappeared. It
was stated that he had threatened to
commit suicide.
Several days ago he started for
the mountains in the hope that the
change would brace him up. He was
accompanied by Charley Hardwicke
and Asa Grant. He became i'll yester-
day morning with dysentery, and
this was the immediate cause of his
death. Judge Easley was a man of
intellect, stood over six feet in
height and was an able lawyer.
The following is the verdict of the
Justice of the Peace and the Coro-
ner's jury:
Territory of New Mexico, S., Coun-
ty of Lincoln.
We, the Justice of the Peace and
jury duly empanelled. to hold an in
quest on the body of S. B.. Easley,
deceased, say he died suddenly at
Picacho, N. NJ, on June LIST 1904, and
it is the opinion of the jury that he
came to mis- death from heart failure
as there was no violence committed
or shown on the body.

A Sanitary Stink.

Mr.. EGitor:II should like to in
quire what new idea of sanitation
it is that would clean up the garbage
of the back streets and alleys from
all over town, and haul it to Main
street for storage. Is there anything
medicinal in all this collection of gar
bage that makes it especially health
full for the community to breathe it
at both ends of Main street. Within
twenty feet of Main street south of
the Hondo bridge lies a carload or
so of garbage hauled from all over
town. 1t lies in the bed of the stream
and after a rain backs up a pool of
stagnant water to modify the smell.
1t is hardly possible at some hours
of the day to drive cross and south
of the Hondo bridge without holding
the nose or riding in an automobile
that can outrun the scent of the city
rose jar.
If this is a sanitary odor, why
allow the residents of that section of
the city to monopolize a good thing.
Why not have it distributed all the
way down Main street, and turn loose
a lot of chickens to keep it well stir
