MRS. JOHN SHAW SUCCUMBS
TO LONG, PAINFUL ILLNESS

Mrs. Jennie McBroon Shaw, wife of
John Shaw and aged 43 years, died
at one o'clock this morning at her
home just northeast of Roswell after
an illness of two years of cancer and
complication of disease. Her death
came after long suffering, which she
bore with bravery and fortitude. Ev-
erything known to science and every
care from loving friends could not
save her, although an operation near
ly two years ago and careful nursing
undoubtedly prolonged her life.
The deceased was born in Dodge
county, Nebraska, where she lived
most of her life until a young woman.
In the year 1885 she came to Roswell
to visit her brother, Henry McBroon,
who was then a partner of John Shaw
in the land surveying business. This
partnership lasted for seven years,
but it brought about a more lasting
one between Miss McBroon and Mr..
Shaw, for on January 1, 1900, they
were married, the ceremony taking

The third annual meeting of the
Wool Growers Association was held
in the parlors of the Grand Central
hotel Saturday afternoon, with an
attendance of thirty sheepmen. On
account of the low prices for wool
and mutton this year, it was unani-
mously voted to reduce the wages of
herders from S25 to $40 per month;
also on account of the great loss of
money the sheepmen have had in the
past four years by advancing money
to herders before they went to work,
by an unanimous vote it was decided
not 10 advance any money whatever
and to sign an iron-clad agreement
to this effect. A great many sheep
men have advanced sums of money
(as much as one hundred dollars) be-
fore taking herders out, and in many
instances men with this advanced
money have left for parts unknown.
There has been thousands of dollars
lost to the sheepmen By this practice
alone.
There will be quite an effort made
in the near future to bring all the
wool grown in eastern New Mexico
to Roswell, and make a market on
business plan instead of as we now
do on a 'dickering'' plan. We can
bring five million pounds of wool to
Roswell by making a market here. In
stead eastern New Mexico woods now
go elsewhere, a part to the Rock ISL
and Railway for shipment. A great
and other places, while if we mad
market this wool would all come
here. A plan is now being gotten up
by the Association to make Roswell
a great wool market.
The officers elected by the Associa-
tion for the coming year are: A. d.
Garrett, president; Chas. de Bremond,
vice president; Eliza White, secretary
and treasurer. Board of Control: W.
S. Prayer, w. H. Long, c. c. Martin
and ]. B. Keaster.
There will be meeting of this AS
sociation held at Carlsbad on August
Sth to confer with the sheepmen of
Eddy county and to organize every
sheepman in eastern New Mexico into
a good strong body. After the meet
ing at Carlsbad there will be a meet
ing called at Hope and one at Lin
coin for the same purpose.

REPORT OF BIG RISE HAS
NOT BEEN CONFIRMED

A report was received here yeSter-
day of a big rain that caused rise
of II feet in one hour Saturday night
in the Bonito river, but the report is
not confirmed. The Bonito joins the
RuidoSo in making the Hondo river,
and if such a rise had occurred the
Hondo would have been swelled i'm
mensely at the reservoir today. A re-
port from the reservoir states that
about six inches of water was running
into the big lake today. The report
of the flood in the Bonito was due
to an error of the telegraph operator
it is said. It should have read seven
feet. The two feet of water which for
a short time yesterday flowed into
the Hondo reservoir was a result. 1t
is said that a seventeen foot rise in
the Bonito would sweep practically
everything out of the Bonito valley.
The head of Salt creek had good
rain Saturday night, and on Sunday
the water was two feet above the
floor of the Salt Creek automobile
bridge on the Roswell-Torrance mail
route. The auto from Torrance Sun
day and the auto from Roswell met
there and transferred mail and pass
engers On horseback, turned and re-
traced their way to the places from
which they had started. The 1ncom-
ing mail and passengers were several
hours late. There was one woman
passenger coming from Torrance to
Roswell, but she enjoyed the adven-
ture. Today's car arrived at noon, and
the driver reports that the water in
Salt Creek has subsided until it is
below the bridge, although a good
stream is running.
The rain in Roswell Saturday night
was the best received this summer,
the government observers report
showing O.36 inch.
Hail is reported north of Artesia,
with some damage to fruit.

She expressed the desire that she be
sent to a convent.
The girl is small for her age and
quite pretty. The first time she ran
off was about three months ago,
when she went north and was caught
at Acme with bunch of tramps, and
about two weeks ago she started west
on a bicycle and was caught by Mt.
Finley and returned to her mother.
Mrs. Dubois says the child had a fall
when eight years of age injuring her
head, and gives this as the reason
for her strange actions at times. The
girls parting remark to the reporter
was a CHEEKY, "adios.''
LATER The girl was given a
hearing at $3.50 this afternoon before
Judge Welter. No charge was prefer
FED against her for assaulting Finley,
but she was tried on the charge of
stealing a bicycle from ]. D. Macklin,
upon which she escaped from town.
She pleaded guilty, and after firm
refusal to return to her mother was
sentenced by the court to serve %
days in jail. The court said that after
two Or three days she showed signs
of penitence he would suspend the
sentence. She declared in court that
she would rather be in jail than to
live with her mother and have no
personal liberties

RUNAWAY GIRL CUTS
OFFICER WITH KNIFE.

Helena Dubois, the fifteen year old
daughter of Mrs. Alice Dubois, who
seems to have a mania for running
off from home, made her third at
tempt Saturday, and got as far as
the Oasis Ranch, where she was cap
tured by Deputy Sheriff o. z. Finley.
The girl attacked him with a knife
and inflicted a deep wound in the
muscle of his right arm. She left
town on a bicycle and when appre-
hended by Mr.. Finley she was on a
hay wagon with a crowd of men. She
was brought to town and placed in
Jail, and will be given a hearing this
afternoon before Justice Welter.
The girl was seen in Jail this morn
ing by Record reporter, and she
said that she was running away be-
cause she hated her mother, and was
trying to get to Hammondton, Cali
fornia, to join her father, Fred Du-
Bois who formerly lived here and. was
employed By the Western Grocery
Company and later at the T. c. Mar
ket. She said she would stay in jail
ther again, and said she did not care
what the authorities did with her. She
said she cut Finley accidentally, but
when she saw she had cut him she
was glad of it. She does not seem
to have any remorse for her conduct

Fairview, Neb., July 20.-Accord-

conferred with Mr.. Bryan, the ability
the negro vote of Ohio will depend
largely upon the attitude of Senator
Foraker. Former Attorney General
Frank S. Monnett and E. H. Moore,
of Youngstown, chairman of the last
state Democratic convention of Ohio,
are today speeding home after con-
ference with Mr.. Bryan with instruc-
tions to size up the situation and take
every advantage of the Foraker-Taft
feud. 1t has been practically determ-
ined that the main efforts in the mid
die West shall be directed against
Indiana and Ohio, where the Demo
cratic leaders are counting on wrest-
ing the majority vote from the Re
publican column.
Mr.. Bryan today occupied himself
with the subject of campaign contri-
buttons, and issued a statement ap-
pealing to the Democratic party of
the country to begin the collection
of funds from subscribers. He believes
the Democrats will receive larger cam
paign funds than ever before and
that the money will come from the
