More Voters.

AS the election did not look any too pro-
missing the first of the week, all the voters
possible were rounded up and gotten into
line. Not to be slow in providing voters
Mrs. Monte Goodin presented her husband
on Monday afternoon with nine pound
son, but his late arrival prevented him
from casting ballot at this election. In
the course of about twenty one years he
will be able to cast his vote straight
against graft and gang.
On Monday night a four pound boy
came to brighten the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Van w. Lane. The little gent will not be
able to poll vote for several elections,
but he also will be in favor of honest elec-
tions.
Another settler, who will probably some
day cast ballot in the Sunshine State,
made her appearance at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. All Flickinger north of town, on
Monday morning, in the form of a girl
baby. Mother and child are doing nicely,
and the boys will see that Al will get along
all right.

Father Dies in Scotland.

The McGilIivray brothers have just re
ceived word that their father, John Nc
Gillivray died at Inverness, Scotland, on
the 10Th of October, at the advanced age
of II years. John had just returned from
a visit to the old home, but little thought
he that on the day he should land in Amer
lea, his father would depart this life. Of
the children, Angus, Duncan, John and
Allen are located in Torrance county, and
are among our most prosperous sheep
growers. Always having a good word fer
everyone they meet, they now have host
of friends who extend sincere sympathy to
them in their sorrow.

School Work.

The second m m0nth of school ended last
week, with a total enrolment of 1877.
School is progressing nicely and new pu-
pills are added to our rank each week. The
third months work bids fair to be better
than past two, since the pupils have gotten
acquainted with their work and have set
tied down to good study.
The pupils of the seventh and eight
grades, assisted by smaller pupils from
other rooms, are preparing for play to be
given just before Christmas or soon after.
Several friends have visited the school
recently. Among them have been Mrs.

In Estanca precinct, the gang was given
an icy shoulder, although their men were
working early and late, and caught every
vote possible. There were a number
registered, who did not appear to vote,
but notwithstanding this the anti gang
ticket rolled up majority in most cases in
this precinct of about $50 votes, Andrews
ran ahead of the ticket, doubling the vote
of most of his fellow candidates. large
number of the native people voted for Lar
razola, as he is one of their race, while
enough republicans voting the Democratic
ticket scratched LarrazoIa and voted for
Andrews to tring up the total above the
other candidates on that ticket. The vote
of almost six to one against the gang
shows that the people of this precinct are
tired of gang rule, and are determined to
overthrow the power of the clique
In fatigue precinct, the home OF Sheriff
Sanchez, the republicans were determined
to have things their way, and to over
come any slight difficulties which might
arise, they did not take the trouble to
complete the board of election, but simply
SWore in Jesus Candelara, who by the
way was one of the candidates on that
ticket, and one other as judges of election,
and Manuel Sanchez Jr as clerk, forget
ting that the law specifies that there shall
be three judges and two clerks. When
the watchers for the Democrats asked that
the board be completed they were treated
with disgust. Another small item which
the board overlooked was the filing in the
poI-books of the Democratic ticket. AS
heretofore they probably thought that the
Democratic votes were easier DESTROYED
than counted, and no provision was made
for the counting. Several who desired to
vote this ticket at Tajque were practically

became an ardent supporter of the whole
ticket. In another precinct similar pro-
ceeding is in vogue, teacher without GER
tifcate, filling the position. Whether
either one will be able to draw any school
funds from the county for their work re-
mains to be seen.
In the precinct of Cienega, the judges
took the liberty of examining several of
the ballots before placing them in the box.
The voters objected to such proceedings,
but the judges thought otherwise. At
least one voter refused to vote if his ball
lot must be examined before placing same
in the box. Of course with such proceed.
ings, the outcome need not be guessed at.
In Punta one of the judges was objected
to by candidate on the republican ticket
and was ousted. Another judge favorable
to the candidate was put in his place.
AT Pinos Wells at least one of the judge
of election took on little larger load of
"corn Juice" than would seem justiiable
under the circumstances and become
wee bit excited. Whether it was on ac'
count of this or what, has not been told,
but more ballots are said to have come out
of the box than rhe list of persons having
voted would warrant. The democratic
watcher is ready to make oath to the fact
that when the box left Pinos Wells there
were three more ballots in it than names
on the poll book. The judges begged per-
mission of the said watcher to remove three
ballots from the box, but the permission
was not granted. When the box arrived
in Estancia, instead of finding its way to
the Clerks office, it found itself behind
locked doors in the rear of saloon, later
being taken to the Clerk. The box had
not been sealed in accordance with the pros
visions of the law in such cases.

number to be not less than twenty.
In Abo precinct no election was held, as
owing to our beautiful mail service in this
part of the country, the poll books
did not reach Mountainair postofice until
Tuesday afternoon. They were mailed
from the Estancia office as shown by the
office stamp on the wrapper on Oct. 30.
Part of the voters from this precinct went
to Punta, while Others voted at Cienega.
Manzano precinct, the headquarters of
the gang, things went just as they were
ordered. About dozen voters in this
precinct stood by their convictions and
voted against the gang, and in favor of de.
cent government. 1t is understood that a
number voted the straight republican ticket
through fear, while others were under OBJ
legation to some member of the gang to do
so.
Numerous were the ways the gang had
of securing the election for themselves. re-
gardless of the choice of the people. In
fatigue, as has been mentioned above,
onlyp part of the board of election qualified,
and anyone not voting as these two judges
desired that they should were refused a
vote at all. The Democratic ticket was
not recognized at all in this precinct This
has been the rule in this predinct for some
time, but such proceedings have about
reached an end in Torrance county, and
evidence is now being gathered to push the
case in the courts and place such officious
persons where they rightly belong.
Some favors at the hand of the gang
were used to secure support at the polls.
In one precinct a teacher was withheld
from teaching because he had not attended
the Normal alInstitute and had no certificate
to teach in the county. On Monday of
last week, this teacher was given permiS-
sion to teach and the school opened. The
