In his youth he was characterized
with those qualities which have since
brought him into promlnence-qulet
deliberatlon in pursuit OF what he
thought to be right, high ideals, cour-
tesy and consideration for others.
In 1895 he removed to st. Louis, and
began his successful practice OF law
there. Probably the first act~which
brought him into the limelight was In
the spring Of 1900, when the great
st. Louis street railway strike was
declared. The strike proceeded for
weeks, and the city was In desperate
condition, people being hauled off cars
and the business interests of the city
being almost at standstill. Number

ORGANIZE FOLK
CLUB AIT COLUMBIA
MR. J. L. HUTTON SAYS 1T WILL
BE DoNE-5Ack FROM
MISSOURI.

Joe L. Hutton. a prominent banker
OF Columbia. was in the city last night
He says the Folk boom has reached
Maury county and is taking like Wild
fire. Every man he has seen within
the last few days who has expressed
himself declared for MissOuris popu-
lar governor as the next nominee Oh
the democratic party.
A Folk club will be organized at
Columbia within the next week, and
Mr.. Hutton says it will start with a
large and enthusiastic membership.
Frank Lander. editor OF the Columbia
Herald, who has been one of the
strongest Bryan men in the state
since the distinguished Nebraskan
made his first campaign for president
has come out in an editorial declaring
for Folk.
The Folk sentiment is exceedingly
strong in Maury county and not only
there but in other sections" said Mr..
Hutton Il am just returning from
a trip to Missouri and | found the FOLK
sentiment out there overwhelming and
rapidly crystalizing. l met quite a
number of very prominent republicans
in that state who told me they would
vote for Folk for President against
Roosevelt or any man their party nom
mated, if the democrats would name
him as their standard-bearer. They
voted for him in both his campaigns
for governor, and they declared that
he had made the best governor Mis-
souri, ever had. notwithstanding at
tacks of certain newspapers IN MS
state. There is no doubt that Missouri
will present his name to the next
national convention, and / am conf
dent Tennessee will second the nomi-
nation
Mr.. Hutton himself is an enthusiast
tic Folk boomer, although ne was a
gold democrat in 1896. He says Folk
can unite the party and poll more
votes than Bryan can poll, and that
he can be elected if the party VIII
nominate him-Nashville Tennessean.

Mr.. Hutton was seen by Herald
man in regard to the above this morn
ing and asked for further information.
He said the above was bit Samuel J.
Stockardish, but he did not object 10
ANYTHING in the article. That he had
favored Folk for President for some
wears and believed he could be elected
in the next presidential race, if any
democrat could win. He said ne mad
not contemplated the organization OF
a Folk club here, but was heartily In
favor of it and since the Tennessean
had suggested it, he would be one OF a
dozen Columbians to sign a call FOR
a meeting at the court house and enter
into an organization to boom the great
Tennessean. Mr.. Hutton thinks FOX
can bring together all the factions OF
the Democratic party, can get large
part of the independent and reform
vote and can shake down quite a num-
Der of Republican votes.

The Alamogordo news. (Alamogordo, N.M.) 1899-1912, 1907-08-10
Of RIO BONITO
E. p. 9 s. N. Rallread VIII Use Netes
As Planned.
U. S. GOVERNMENT HAS NO OBJECTION

The officials of the Z. z. d s.
W. Ry. Co. have gone steadily
on with their arrangements for
making use of the water from
the upper Bonito river, which has
been the cause of numerous re-
ports both for and against the
scheme.
The News is in possession of
facts received from an unques-
toned source which indicate
that the railway company's plans
will be carried to completion
without any interference from
the government, as has been re-
ported there would be.
An official high in the govern
ment service, one who is in a pO-
sition to know, has made the
statement, unofficially, t h a t
there are no conditions in the
proposed diverting of the Bonito
which will call for the interven-
tion of the government in the
matter, and those who have
hoped for this phase of develop
ment to prevent the scheme be-
ing carried out are doomed to
disappointment.
1t stands to reason, from
practical and unbiased view if
from none other, that the diver
sion of the waters of a stream
that eventually sink into the
sands lower down, can do no
harm to any interests on the
lower waters if a portion of the
stream be diverted near the
source, and this is the condition
that governs the proposed diver
sion of a part of the waters of
the Rio Bonito.
Those who have objected to
the railway company making use
cf the water have hardly taken
into consideration the facts in
the case, and the great benefits
to be obtained by its judicious
use, as contemplated, will more
than compensate for any ideas
of injustice that may be held by
those obiecting.

STORK ARRIVES UNANNOUNCED Ed
Holiday Trip Suddenly Interrupted In

Last Sunday evening Mr.. and
Mrs. L. D. Baker who were on
their way from Cloudcroft to FL
Paso were forced to wait over in
Alamogordo in making train con-
nections, and went to the Ala
mogordo hotel to await the de-
parture of the train for Ell Paso.
Manager Van Est of the hotel
assigned them to room on the
ground floor and shortly after
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker reached
their room they were startled
by loud knocking at the side en-
trance. Mr.. Baker went to the
door and was thunderstruck to
find the stork there with a 10
pound baby boy for his wife.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker are from
Enid, Okla, and were making
an extended tour of the south
west.
Mrs. Baker and the baby were
both doing very nicely at last

NEW UNION HAS ITS TROUBLES
ORGANIZED and DIsorsaHlIed. Color Line
Drawn and Withdrawn.

1t all began when John Thomas,
(colored) filled with rage (and
bad booze) undertook to push
with his fist the cOuntenance of
Victoria Rucker around on the
back of her head. Naturally
Victoria objected to the process
and as soon as she regained her
feet and her composure she swore
out a warrant for the arrest of
John Thomas, claiming that her
peace had been considerably dis
turbed.
John Thomas was arrested,
hailed before the majesty of
Judge Stalcup's court and was
fined twenty five and costs"
and was informed that he could
work out the fine by making
little stones out of big ones"
Mrs. John Thomas came to her
husbands resue and arranged a
compromise on the basis that if
she secured a job for John with
more personal liberty, and some
one to stand good for the fine,
John would be released. She
at once opened diplomatic nego-
tiations with Col. Edison of the
Improvement company and John
was given work, and some sound
fatherly advice.
Right here is where the new
local union was organized upon
three minutes notice, and all
of the men in the employ of the
Improvement company with the
exception of the foremen, but
including the Mexicans, gave
Col. Edison the ultimatum that
either John Thomas must quit
or they would.
en- vol
John Thomas is still working.

OUR BAND,

We think there are very few
indeed who thoroughly appreci-
ate or understand what it means
to the individual members of the
Alamogordo band to give the
weekly concerts, which all alike
enjoy.
Every member of the band is a
busy and hustling business man
during the entire week and puts
in just as many hours as the rest
of us in attending to their person
al affairs, and after working hard
all day they are perfectly will
ing to give up one or two even
ings each week to practicing,
when they would enjoy staying
at home much more. On Sun
days, when they might put in
the whole day taking a we'll
earned rest, they are sufficiently
interested in the town to give
up their whole afternoon in Or
der that the concert may be
given in the park.
We don't know whether the
people of Alamogordo are coming
through on the band matter as
they should, but the unselfsh
men who compose our band are
certainly entitled to every en-
couragement and assistance they
may ask for.

Little Herbert Woods, son of
W. II. Woods, had very narrow
escape from being bitten by a
green rattle snake, while on his
burro at his fathers ranch in
the Sacramentos. The little fell
low managed to draw up his feet
away from the many attacks
made by the snake, which was
finally killed, and measured four
feet in length.
