MOTHER BROWNS
CLINGING TO BABE

A special to the New Mexican
from Aztec, N. NJ, July 8, says:
Mrs. LeonardBoat and her young
baby were drowned yesterday
morning near Cedar Hill while at
tempting to ford the Animas river
in that vicinity. Mrs. Boat and
five children were in a wagon en-
route to Durango. Although the
river was high, Mrs. Boat thought
she could cross in safety as she
knew the ford very we'll. When
near the east bank the kingbolt
dropped, the wagon box fell
into the river and the surging wa
ter of the Animas rushed over
them. The oldest boy worked
hard and effectively saved his
brother and two young sisters.
The mother proved too heavy and
the son could not rescue her and
the babe which she held tightly
and frantically in her arms, from
the swift current of the rapid and
rushing stream. She sank with
the babe and was drowned, her
body being found about three miles
below Cedar Hill. The affair is a
very lamentable n as Mrs. Boat
was highly respected and greatly
beloved by her neighbors in the
vicinity of Cedar Hill. The boy
acted very courageously,an prov
ed himself of superior metal and
energy especially for his age, he
being but IS years Of age.

Patterson Wins Saturday,

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 3.-The
Patterson forces were in the saddle in
Middle Tennessee today, and when it
came to figuring on the roundup, it
was found their champion had added
Sumner, Smith and Wilson counties to
his rapidly growing list.
Cox got Marshall, as predicted in
these dispatches, but his man for chair
man only won by 40 votes in total Of
4S0, and this, too, in county where
Cox Office holders made the most des-
perate efforts in behalf of their chief.
Had Patterson spoken two or three
more times in the county, the chances
are he would have easily triumphed.
In Sumner county it was two.thirds
Patterson convention, despite Cover
nor Cox's fine.tooth comb canvass of
the county on Thursday and Friday.
It did not take the convention very
long to settle the question, and from
the first it was seen that Patterson had
all the advantage.
Smith county comes up with two
delegates, but all accounts received at
Patterson headquarters affirm that the
Memphian had more supporters in the
courtyard than his adversary, and that
the county's sixteen votes can be fairly
counted in his column.
Reports from Wilson county show
that the vote was light because of the
cold weather, but that Cox men partic-
ipated in the primary in Lebanon and
other districts. Cox even carried one
district. The vote, despite its light
ness, shows beyond question that the
county is largely for Patterson. Many
men who participated in the mass-con.
vention, aud who had been for the
governor before, went to the polls to-
day and voted for Patterson delegates
McMenaway's advice to the Cox mer
to keep out of the primary seems t.
have been disregarded almost every
where in the county.
The result of today's contest put
Patterson stock way up, and around
the hotel lobbies tonight this is base(
on the theory that the result In Sum
ner, Smith ard Wilson will have mark
ed influence on other Middle Tennessee
counties.

Mrs. J. X. C. Lewis Dead,

Saturday afternoon about four o'clock
while Mrs. j. r. G. Lewis was busi v
engaged in homework in her cosy cot
tage on Bowman street she was stricken
with apoplexy and fell to the floor
where she was later found by neigh
Dor. Her husband was Immediately
summoned from town and he and the
neighbors assisted DIR. Preas in his
efforts to revive her, but to no avail.
She remained unconscious until death
claimed her Monday morning. She
was formerly Miss Sarah Edna Stone,
daughter of John A. Stone, of Noun
tain City, Tennessee, and was married
to j. r. G. Lewis, 23 years ago. She
was consistent member of the Baptist
church and was a model wife and kind
neighbor. The funeral services were
conducted at the grave by Reverend J.
Edmunds Brown and a large number
of friendsfollowed the remains to their
last resting place in Oak Hill. The
pail bearers were Il. G. Jackson, of
Jonesboro, Fl. DeArmond, J. W. Mil
lard, f. S. Miller, J. A. Summers,

Mr.. Lewis desires to thus publicly
thank his friends for the many acts
of kindness shown him during his
affection.

in sympathy for Roby in his distress.

MF. Carter Returns From the East, But
SURVEYS Are Not Completed.

Surveys Are Not Completed.
Mr.. George Il. Garter has returned
from New York and other points in the
east, where he spent a week or two on
business. 1t was generally understood
that his visit to the metropolis was for
the purpose of determining finally the
question of which route the South and
Western railway would take through
East Tennessee.
Mr.. Garter was seen by a Courier
representative and asked il this matter
had been decided. He said that it had
not.
Chow long" was asked, twill it be
until this matter will be deeided?"
Mr., Garter replied that nothing would
be decided as regards the East Tennes-
see route until all the surveys under
taken have been completed and esti-
mates are made up. This, he thought,
would be only four or five weeks, pro.
Vided the weather remains favorable
for the surveying corps who have the
work in hand. Otherwise, the matter
may be still further delayed.
Meanwhile the work in Scott county,
Va, and beyond Spruce Pine, N. o.,
goes steadily forward. The principal
difficulty in this work has been to get
sufficient men to push the work as
speedily as the company desires it

bone below the knee. The left arm
was broken in two places and the
shoulder was badly wounded. The
young man was taken to his home on
Seventh avenue by his fellow workmen

SMITH COUNTY ROW
Brought About by the Tricks of the
Cox Men.

DhVu6ht h"VHt W thO ITlChS vi lHt
Cox Men.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 3.-The
reports from the Smith county cOnven-
ton are so conflicting that it is difficult
to say how the row came up, but from
reliable sources your correspondent
gathers the following as the facts:
The crowd OF over 1000 voters gath
cred at the courthouse, and it was soon
manifest that the structure would not
accommodate them. 1t was then agreed
by both sides that they adjourn to the
courthouse yard and count votes. This
was done, but in the count it early
became apparent that the Cox men
were playing the old trick of being
counted, stepping aside and then being
counted again. Some of the more
active Cox men managed to be counted
three or four times. The Patterson
men dropped on to the trick and con-
fusion ensued. In the confusion
voter jumped up and moved that G. M.
Gardenhire be made chairman, and
the motion was adopted overwhelm-
ingly. Then a motion to instruct for
Patterson went through with equal
unanimity.
At this iuncture some one shouted
for all the Cox men to assemble in the
courthouse building and Gardenhire
declared the convention adjourned.
Reliable estimates place the Patter-
son strength at least 200 greater than
that for Cox, and from all accounts
this seems to be proper estimate.
The Cox convention was clear effort
to thwart the will of the majority, and
was only held when it was seen that
Patterson had the bulk of the 1000
men present. The Patterson leaders
in the county headed by Ex-Governor
McMillin, say that their delegates will
be seated, as they will bring indubi-
table evidence that Patterson had much
the largest number of supporters
present.
The action of the Cox men in Smith
is but another evidence of the despera.
ton OF the governors cause. The plan
is to bring up contesting delegations
in every county where Patterson is in
the majority, and to cry fraud where
ever they fail to overwhelmingly domi-
nate the convention.

Governor Cox SDeakS.

Governor Cox spoke at Jonesboro,
last Monday afternoon and at johnson
City in the evening. AT Jonesboro q
large crowd was present to attend cir
cult court and great many listened to
the governor, but he had the most
unresponsive audience public speaker
has had in this county in years. There
were less than half dozen to applaud
when Judge Deaderick, in introducing
him gave him certificate Of character,
something that has never before been
necessary in the history of the State.
He made his usual barefooted plea,
and reiterated his Gallatin charges,
playing to the galleries, at johnson
City he had small audience, a major
ity of which was composed of Patter
son followers and Republicans. His
reception was frosty, and he utterly
failed to create any enthusiasm OF
elicit applause. Washington county
is strongly anti-Oox, and the COVER
nor did not change a man by hi
visit.
Judge Bond was billed for speecl
here the same night and did not know
the governor was to be here. He cam
in on the o'clock train from Greene
vile, and as soon as he arrived sent
friend to see Governor Cox and confe
about division Of time, but the gov
ernor declined to divide, so Judg
Bond did not speak. He held a
informal reception at the ArliDgto
