The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1907-12-23

The Record understands that there
are several government agents in
the city and working up and down
the valley in an effort to stir up
trouble for witnesses, grand jurors
and others. The government having
failed in its trial of the Tallmadge
brothers, seems bound to find some
thing wrong in the valley. Some of
the special agents are said to dress
like farmers and pretend to be pros
pectors. There were three of them
in a bunch at the Shelby hotel today.
Some of them seem to be nearly as
raw in their work as was the first
one who landed here some two years
ago. The people are ''o1to them,'' and
they have already been sent on sew
eral "snipe hunts.''

$3.50 for DIR. Porter.
DR.. Porte-'s sermon last night was
a mastery one. taken from Daniel as

THE MASS
MEETING

One of the largest and most earn
est meetings ever held in Roswell
was the mass meeting held unday af
teraoon at the Majestic Theatre for
the purpose of protesting against the
action of the Mayor and City Coun-
Gil in lowering the saloon license and
throwing off the limit on the number
in the city. The sentiment of the
meeting seemed to be overwle elm
ingly in favor of repudiating the men
guilty of violating their election
pledges to the people, and there was
very strong prohibition feeling man
ifested
R. S. Hamilton was chosen chair
man, and George A Puckett secreta-
ry. Then it was decided to employ a
stenographer to insure an absolutely
accurate report of what should be
said by the various speakers. The
report is not available
for today's paper. The final result of
the meeting was the passage of a res
oution asking the city council to re-
scind its action, a1d also pledging
the convention to take immediate
steps to secure prohibition unless the
old high license is restored.
The ministers of the various
church presented their views, then
many citizens discussed the question
at issue. The most important speech
of all was that of Judge U. . Bateman,
else responsible for the nomination
of the city officials who have been
guilty of treason. He repudiated their
action and made some good sngges-
tons as to what the Democratic par
ty should do under the circumstances
but we shall not quote his speech un-
til we have the stenoSrapher's re-
port The meeting lasted for two
hours and was enthusiastic from the
start to the finish. Had it been neld

more advertising out of it than any

Pecos Valley would do all and more
than was expected with money and

Upon call, Judge G. A. Richardson
spoke in a vein similar to that of

said that Col. HopeweH and Col.
