New Mexico's Oldest Attorney.

The oldest attorney in Roswell, if
practice, is James A. Poage, who will
be e~ighty-nine years old next Janu-
airy. Judge Poage has been in active
practice continuously since March 20.
1843. He has never been in any other
business OF profession than the enc
he is now following-that of an attor-
ney at law. He has held positions Of
honor along with his profession, and
has lived and been a part, and helped
to make a greater part 'of the writ
ten history of the southwest, and es-
pecially of Texas.
When one considers that Judge
Poage began the active practice of his
profession twenty years before the
Civil War n was what would now
be considered an old attorney When
that war broke out, and considers the
the men who were born after Judge
have achieved greatness in business
and in the councils of the ration and
died of ripe Old age. he may get solae
idea What Judge Poage has lived thro'
But it is not what Judge Poage las
been, of which he may justly fe>l
proud, as of what he is.
He is today justice of the peace of
precinct No. 1, as active as any man
in the profession of law in Roswell.
Prepares his own papers, keeps ais
own books, looks up the law i'll the
cases that are submitted, carefully,
gal mind today as a nan of half his
years might be.
The Record is permitted to pub
lish the following from the original
certificate of Judge Poage's admission
to the bar of Virginia, in March,
a quill pen in the ornate style of pen
manship of those days:
Estate of Virginia, towit:
Whereas, James A. Poage ha pro
iuced to the undersigned three of the
Judges of the Commonwealth of Vir-
ginia, a certificate from the county
court of Augusta as required by law,
and whereas. after examination we
find him qualified, These, therefore
are to license and permit the said
James A. Poage to practice as coun-
sci and attorney in h courts of this
Commonwealth, upon taking the oath
prescribed by aw.

j. A. B. Bear, the young man who
does the collecting for the The Rec
ord. was well acquainted with two
of the judges who signed MI. Poage's
license some sixty years ago. While
past sixty himself, Mr.. lear feels
quite young in the presence of
Judge Poage.
In 1847 Judge Poage was admitted
to the bar of Bastrop county, Texas,
and in 1892 he became a member of
the Chaves county, New Mexico ba- :.
while Judge Freeman. of Carlsbad,
was on the bench.
Judge POage is today as enthusiast
tic a student of law as in the days
of youth and young manhood, and re
tains the use of all his faculties.

out of work, Mrs. E. B. Baggs of San
Francisco learned that he not only had
been working every day, but that since
January 26 he had been living with an
other woman from San Francisco,
passing her as his wife With that wo-

a policeman found her wandering about
the Chinese quarter and sent her back
to the place where her husband had
roomed. There she made a desperate
attempt to commit suicide by slashing
her wrists, but failed to sever the ar
terry.
Since he came here Baggs has been
known as B. B. Edwards. He held a
responsible position in a fashionable
cafe. and was paid salary.
His wife told the police that the
woman with whom her husband con-
sorted is Mamie Sweeney, who three
years ago was cashier at the Lick
House in San Francisco.
Mrs Baggs insisted upon returning
at once to San Francisco and accom-
panied by a friend whom she found

Among the high school football
players and their supporters. there has
been since Saturday a feeling of Ella
ton over the victory and of great con-
fidence in the future success of the
team. Tried under fire for the first
time this season the members of the
local team played in the game against
Whitman with a grit and an enthusi-
asm that showed they We're true sports
and worthy champions of their
school.
Although the Pendleton team out
weighed their opponents somewhat it
may be truly said that they did not
win the game through tnat but be-
cause they played with snap, vigor
and method that the visitors did not
have. although they have had during
all season the training of one of the
best coaches in the northwest and
have had constant practice against
their first team.
For the success of the Pendleton
eleven great credit is due Coach Dan
p. Smythe, who has brought the team
into its good shape by hard, earnest
training and has inspired the players
to do their best.
In the game Saturday the local
team really won a higher score than
it actually made, although the latter
was good enough. At the end of the
first half the ball was close to the
Whitman goal and i'm Pendleton hands
while in the second half the goal was
again almost reached and would
have been crossed had there been five
or 10 minutes more of play.
As to the individual playing of the
high school men 1t would be hard to
pick the stars for they all played good
ball for about all they were worth

made a strong pair and are sDod
ground gamers, while Turner at quar-
terback, made a hit with the GOODNESS
with which he played his position,
generating the team like a much older
player than he is.
The only fault that could be found
with the back field players was that
they were a little slow in starting.
something in which they will doubt
less improve before another game. In
the line, Baker at center, played a
crackerjack game, though nervous at
the start; while Stanfield, Reeves and
Goodman as guards, Scott and Means
as tackles and Thompson and Strick-
len as ends, all played worthily.
Owing to an injury Means did not
play in the second half, his place be-
ing taken by Dean Goodman, manager
| Of the team. Also Strand, who played
through the game with an injured
back, was taken out during the last
few minutes of play and Thompson
put at right half, while Penland went
| in as end.
As officials Rev. n. II. Brooks as
umpire and Mark Moorhouse as ref
cree, served with general satisfaction
After the game Rev. Brooks declared
1t to be one Of the cleanest games he
