PASSED OVER THE GREAT DIVIDE.

With the October frosts that withered
the cactus, came the inevitable blight that
took from the range another of the Old
Timers.
Since the early days of Tucumcari there
has been no figure more familiar to its
people and passers-by than that of Jack
Bradley" "Jiggers"-as he was generally
known.
Not yet old in years. but aged in exper-
ience, the burden of life became too heavy
TO be longer endured. and on October 25th
as the golden rays of the Autumn sun ting
ed the western hills. poor old zig" cashed
his last check.
He was a native Texan. and at the time
of his death, was about thirty years o d e.
Early in life the freedom of the west APP
pealed to his romantic nature and like so
many Others he sought the solitude of the
plains. For many years he ranged on the
lower plains, south of Roswell. where he
was employed by Sam Wilkes. of Colorado
City, Texas. who was the owner of I h e
IL | q" brand of cattle.
From his connection with that outfit, he
became the owner OF the nickname Zig
gers, by which name he was always rec
ognized and few people knew that he hat
any other.
His last work as a cowpuncher was fol
the l. + DIS on the four lakes ranch below

MASONIC BUILDING co.
Incorporated to Build a two
Story Rock B II sin $
House on Corner Lot West
of Bank.
ENTERPRISE OF THE LOCAL ORDER

This paper published last week the
articles of incorporation for tine Masonic
Building Company of this city. This
company was organized recently by mem
bers of the local Masonic Order who fore
saw the opportunity to secure this excel
lent location. corner lot west OF bank build
ing south side of main street. for the erec-
tion of their temple in Tucumcari. The
officers of the company are Alex ID. Gold
enberg, Pres. DR.. Clarence w. Kluttz.
Vice-Pres., John B. Whitmore, Sec. and
c. II. Rankin, Treas. The building site
was purchased from a Mr.. Trammel, a
Texas banker, for a consideration of ST.,
600. And the Masonic Building Company
we're fortunate to secure the property at
| that price and have been offered 81 200 for
it since they purchased it. The capital
stock of the company is $4,000. one half
paid in, and it is the intention of the COM
pany to place the rest of the stock among
Masons, either members of this or other
Lodges. The building will be commence
ed as soon as funds are at hand to begin
the work.
The incorporators are composed of our
leading business people and it is not likely
that they will have any difficulty in secur'
ing all funds necessary, as Masonic paper
generally goes at par the world over.
The building is to be two story stone
structure. with lodge room and officers uT
stairs and two IS #. store rooms dowr
stairs.
This is a very commendable enterprise
and Tucumcari is to be congratulated il
the possession of an Order of such spirit
