, State Goes Democratic, Heding Congressman and
Big Majority of the Legislature.
Conejos County Returns Good Republican hajorities
and Hands Another Jolt to Mock Reformers by
Rolling up Immense hajorities Against Every Inde-
pendent in the County,

The result of the election in
Conejos county proves conclusively
that while some of the men running
on the independent ticket were
good men, the people and voters of
the county were strongly of the
opinion that the fusion ticket was
composed of still better ones and
registered that opinion by giving
them vote of two to one against
the Independents, which elected
them this year by majorities rang
ing from 400 to 600 greater than
they were two years ago.
La Jara and Sanford redeemed
themselves, both giving the fusion
ticket substantial majorities not
withstanding the fact that Sanford
had a very good man running on
the independent ticket. Had it
not been for Mr.. Peterson being on
their ticket they would not have
gotten any votes at all-not enough
to form IA corporal's guard, and while
the editor of The Chronicle did not
get as many votes in this county as
he would have liked, only receiving
ii meager majority of $50, which
will be swelled 200 or 300 in Arch
uletta county, however, he promises
to do better next time and the fact
that he carried La Jara and San
ford-formerly the two banner in
dependent precincts of thecounty-
is most gratifying and he feels
deeply grateful to those who sup
ported him and the ticket. Our
majorities in La .Jara precinct were
splendid and had it not been for
the local option fight, would have
been considerably greater as a
number of our ardent workers de-
voted more of their attention to the
saloon question than they did to
the county ticket. Nevertheless it
was "a signal victory and figuring at
the rate the independent party is
slipping into the dark recesses of
political oblivion, couple of more
campaigns will leave it with but a
pair of votes and Messrs. Braiden
and Pat Lopez will have to cast
them. Even in this recent bur
lesque several of the parties on
their ticket ran at the solicitation
and for the accommodation of
Braiden only, knowing full we'll
that they could not be elected and
so expressing themselves. And
now they're just little disgusted
with themselves and more so with
Braiden.
Willie Mallett, running for coun-
ty clerk, proved the joke of the
campaign by falling short over
eleven hundred votes, and Eligio
Ruybal, who ran for commissioner,
although carrying his own precinct,
still lacks cool twelve hundred.
Pat Lopez ? Why, poor little Pat
just got another dose of his Taos
county, New Mexico, medicine.
And 80 it was down the line from
the head of the ticket to const, oles
in every precinct in the county.
The weather was fair but the inde-
pendent party was terribly frosted.

and finished phrasing in his cello solos.

Two Fatalities at DanviIIe
Alice Bacon Shot by Her Brother and Carl Taylor
Killed by Being Pinned Under Load
of LOgs-The Two Families
Nearly Crazed with Grief.
[ BY Telephone to the caledonian.


Danville is in mourning today over the
sad accidents of yesterday afternoon
which, strangely enough, happened al
most at the same time. At about 2
O'Clock in the afternoon Asa. the 10
year-old son of John Bacon of Harvey's
Hollow, took down a 22-caliber rife and
began to examine it, not knowing it
was loaded. In handling the deadly
weapon the ball was discharged and
entered the abdomen of his 9-year-old
sister, Alice. ,who was standing near
Medical help was summoned as soon as
possible and three doctors began early in
the evening to probe for the ball, know
ing that the only chance of saving the
girls life was to locate and remove the
ball. But the little girl died in the
operation about 7 O'Clock last night.
The family are nearly crazed with grief
over this distressing accident.
At about the same time yesterday
afternoon Carl, the 9-year-old son OF
Leslie Taylor, of Morse's Mills, was in
stantly killed by being pinned under a
heavy load of logs. He was riding with
an older brother and in some manner
the load upset, burying the little fellow
beneath it and crushing out his life. The
older brother escaped without any
injury.
Much sympathy is extended to botf
families in their great sorrow and the
sudden ending of two promising young
