HON. Il. 0. BURSUM AND FAMILY
Will Become Residents of socorro
Shortly after the First of April.

Shortly after Hon. Ii. o. Bur
sums resignation of the Superin-
tendency of the territorial peni-
tentiary takes effect, he and
family will become residents of
Socorro. The announcement of
this fact some time ago ELECTED
many expressions of qualification
from Socorro'S citizens. Mr..
Bursum has already arranged
for the making of marked i'm
provementS on his residence
property in the eastern part of
the city. In fact it is understood
that he will erect fine two
story brick residence adjoining
the cottage already there.
There are abundant reasons
why the coming Of Mr.. Bursum
and family to Socorro will be
heartily welcomed.

a great amount of experience in

in this work"
