IMPORTANT CASE.
Greene and Gaynor Make Pleas in
Savannah, Georgia, Federal
Court Today.

Savannah, Jan. 13.-Pleas in abate-
ment to indictments number 47G and
AT against Greene and Gaynor were
read this morning after the convening
of the federal court.
A plea was set up that these bills
Of indictments had not been legally
returned on the ground that the jur-
ors were drawn from residents of the
southwestern division Of the southern
district OF Georgia, whereas they
served in the eastern district, wherein
they returned indictments against de-
PENDANTS and that the court had no
right to appoint two special commits
sions to prepare a special grand jury
list that had been prepared on the
order Of the court.
Defendants say that the grand jury
was therefore illegally drawn and had
no right to return the indictments.

His official career needs no laudat-

The courageous and successful part
he took In suppressing turbulence and
lawlessness in Lincoln County and
southeastern New Mexico during the
days that were bloody and hard,
speaks for itself.
He has ever been devoted to the

rett refused to run for reelection to
the sheriff's office, so Mr.. Poe was
elected his successor in 1882, and re.
elected in 1884, with only 1876 votes
against him, in the entire county.
While he was sheriff, two of his dep.
uties, Johnnie Hurley and Jasper Corn,
both brave men were killed while in
the discharge of their duty.
Learns irrigation.
ysn The spring of 1882 he formed a
partnership with Frank NJ. Goodin, and
started the Poe & Goodin Cattle
Company, with Poe as manager, until
1885, when they sold out. The enter
prise proved very profitable to them
both. In 1886 he took an extended
trip through South America where he
gained some valuable information on
the subject OF irrigation.
On his return he purchased SIS
acres of raw land near Roswell, and
made. of it one Of the prettiest stock
farms in the world. 1t is today a
partrof the famous Led Stock Farm.
In 1890, the Bank of Roswell was
organized, and Mr.. Poe became one
Of it's extensive stockholders. In 1893
he was elected president, which posi-
ton he held until he sold his inter-
ests in the Institution. In 1894, he
put up the building now occupied by
the First National Bank, which he sold
at the same time he sold his interest
in that bank.
In 1900 he announced that he would
organize bank with $4,000 capital
and aimed to retain controlling In
terest. Almost at once he had appli-
cation for over 100000 of the stock.
So the Citizens National Bank was
organized with John W. Poe president,
and November 18th, 1900, 1t opened
for business. 1t has made steady
growth and is today regarded as one
of the solid institutions of the Terri
tory.

Mr.. Poe is one of the most promi-

has an interesting Masonic history.
When a lodge Of Free Masons was

When Chapter of Royal Arch Ma

JUHu w. LUG 10 plOlllHCHtly COl'
nected with the history of New Mexi-
CO, and today is one of the most
highly esteemed citizens of Roswell.
He was born in Mason County, Ken
lucky, October 18th, 1850.
His education was acquired in the
public schools of his native county,
pursuing his studies through the win
ter season, while in the summer
months he aided in the labors on the
farm. Ambitious to- make his own
way in the world, Mr.. Poe left home
without the consent of his parents,
when he was 1G years of age, and
went to Kansas City, Missouri.
From there he drifted through Kan
sas to Ft. Griffin, Texas, arriving in
1872, where and when his connection
with the southwest really began. He
worked at all kinds of hard labor,
and was never known to look for an
easy job, but was always looking for
the most remunerative one.
Buffalo Hunter.
In the fall of 1876, he entered a new
field of endeayor, that OF buffalo hunt
ing. Forming partnership with a
Mr.. Jacobs, he secured hunting out
fit, and carried OH that business until
the early summer Of 1878.
Mr.. Poe was good shot, and did
the shooting for the outfit, killing 20,.
900 buffalo himself. He killed 1000
buffalo at one camp, and sold GOAL
buffalo hides in one pile. The bust.
ness proved a profitable one and in
1877 they bought flock of sheep, Mi
Jacobs taking charge of the sheep
while Mr.. Poe continued the buffalo
hunting.
During the second winter, however,
more than half of their sheep were
lost on account Of the severity of the
weather, and the following spring, the
remainder were sold, but the loss was
heavy one. During the buffalo hunt,
they were frequently harassed by the
Indians, and always expected trouble
during the Eight of the moon"
Once they stole him out "slick and
clean" and left him afoot, ESQ miles
out on the plains, away from any
settlement.
In 1873 he returned to Ft. Griffin
and for one year filled the position of
town marshal, by appointment. Ft.
Griffin was situated on the cattle trail
and the wild rough life Of the country
made the position very arduous one
requiring man of physical, as well
as moral courage, to cope with the
desperadoes. The country, however
was rapidly becoming civilized, and
he moved again in 1879 to Ft. Elliott
Wheeler County, Texas, where he
served as deputy sheriff, and deputy
u. s. marshal.
Bravery.
Here again the bravery and fidelity
of the man was called forth. In 1879
Mr. Poe received the nomination for
sheriff of Wheeler County, but was de-
feated by one vote, the lawless ele.
ment voting solidly against him. The
cattle men then employed him to as
sist In protecting their interests.
The "Billy the Kid" gang had been
making raids across into Texas, SO in
the spring Of 1881, the COW men sent
Mr.. Poe to New Mexico to see If he
could not break up that gang. He re-
ported to Pat Garrett, then sheriff Of
Lincoln County, New Mexico, recently
u. s. collector of customs at Ell Paso
Texas.
They soon formed close friendship
and worked we'll together, and were
together when Sheriff Garrett killed
