The Socorro chieftain., 1907-04-20

few friends of the retiring ex-
executive had commenced to pes
ter the President with silly tel
egrams, induced him to author
ize the announcement today at
the White House, so as to cut
off all further agitation of the
Governors adherentS.
GOVERNOR GEORGE CURRY.
The following biographical
sketch of Governor Curry ap-
peared not long ago in the Man
lila American while he was chief
of police:
Chief Curry was born at
Bayou Sara, Louisiana. in 1868.
In 1879 he located in New Mex
leo, where he served as clerk in
the employ of Darling 81 Com
pany, merchants at Fort Stanton.
He was elected treasurer of Lin
coin County, New Mexico, in
1886, clerk of the same county in
1888, assessor in 1890 and sheriff
in 1892. lnlS94 he was elected
senator and reelected in 1896.
the later term being president of
the Territorial Senate. He was
appointed clerk Of the District
Court in 1896 and resigned that
position in 1898 to accept the
captaincy of II. Troop Roose-
velt's Rough Riders. He
served all through the Cuban
campaign with that famous or
ganization and was mustered out
in September, 1898. He served
on the staff of the Governor of
New Mexico after this, and was
president OF the Board of Regents
of the Military Institute at Ros-
we'll.
"On August IL, 1890, he ac-
cepted a first lieutenancy in the
Eleventh Cavalry, and upon the
muster-out of that regiment in
June 1901, was appointed Cover
nor of Ambos Camarines. He re-
signed to accept the position OF
chief of police of Manila. During
the time Mr.. Curry has been
serving his country he has sac
riticed his business interests. He
has, however, made himself
popular with the natives not
only as Governor but as chief of
police. He believes in fighting
when there is any fighting to be
done and as a civil officer he de-
votes himself to bettering the
conditions of the people.
He is personal friend of
President Roosevelt, having won
the confidence of his colonel
during his distinguished service
with the Rough Riders"
WELL KNOWN IN socoRRo.
Governor Curry is well known
in Socorro and almost without
exception the people who Know
him speak we'll of him. He was
for short time clerk OF the dis
trict court of the then fifth
district under the late Judge
Hamilton. He is warm per-
Sonal friend of Chairman II. O.
Bursum of the republican CEN
trail committee and, in fact, of
all the leading republican poll
ticians of the territory. For
this reason and for other reasons,
so well known that they need
not be repeated now, the an
nouncement of the appoint
ment of Captain Curry to be
governor of New Mexico was
received in this city with very
general satisfaction.

made preparation to celebrate Thanks
giving day. She was a fair, sweet
woman, with soft, black eyes set
deep in face which was lined with
care and grief.
A young lady was seated, looking
earnestly out upon the passersby, her
hands folded, her eyes full of longing
usefulness. She had passed her girl
hood, as she looked back upon it there
seemed great mountain of years Of
heartache between those happy, care
less days and the present; still they
had borne the mellow fruit of expert
ence and discipline, and Ruth Haskell
was a nobler, wiser woman to-day
than Franklin Richards had ever
known, while her beauty was not in
the. least impaired. She had been a
lovely girl then, with all a girls crude
immaturity of thought and feeling, to-
day she was woman with wider,
stronger views of life and its RESPONSE
bilities, and her capacities for loving
with a true, wise love strengthened
by the lapse of years. She started
as the mothers gentle hand was
placed upon her shoulder.

and picking out tiny curl into

yisibly.
"It was Gods way, auntie. When

into the kind face over her, with a
vivid blush.
"And you love him still, my daugh-

glance.
Eyes, auntie. Through all these
years l have loved him, not for what
he was but that which he was cap
able of being"
"Thank God for that" the mother
said, fervently. May he prove him
self worthy of such devotion. We
must ever cherish in our hearts and
in our prayers, the memory of that
dear woman, Mrs. Austin; but for her
