an indication Of the character Of the man

In this case the youth was little white

Of Washington. but in one OF those rather
cheap appearing houses so often seen
standing alongside a mansion. and usually
the domicile Of a negro family.
This little white boy has a pale face

PnIe-fRced white Boy.
A negro dog catcher has much TO do
with the story OF the little paIe-faced
white boy. He had seen a little white
dog running in the street at Fifteenth and

its neck but without the prescribed tag
Thereupon. the negro decided he would

upon the scene. Spectators say they saw
the boy shut his teeth hard and then
close his lips tighter than ever before in
his young life That meant something.
The spectators commented upon his look
Of defiance and determination. But the
negro had not noticed either the little
white boy or his look The first intimation
he had Of impending danger was when
the little white boy. not more than FIVE
years old. set upon him. The little white
boy was so busy for the next few minutes
that the spectators had hard work keep

veritable whirlwind Of activity-an ac-

With hts little hands. the little white
boy rushed up TO the negro, and without
a single word Of explanation began using
his finger nails on the face OF the black
man. VINO the while was struggling 10

much and it was beneficial to him in
a financial and legal way. He found
conditions in Taos very favorable and
the town doing a good business.
Mr. Renehan was there on the ar.

Tuesday. He stated to a reporter of
the New Mexican that the people
turned out en- masse and gave the del
egate most hearty and sincere wei,

The court room at the court house
was thronged and there was hardly
standing room. In his opinion, it looks
as il the citizens of Taos would give
a majority for Delegate Andrews if he
is re-nominated by the Republican par,
ty. Public sentiment as far as he could
learn in Taos, was much in favor of
such a course by the Republican con-
vention.

TO SETTLE FAC
TIONAL DIFFERENCE
Prospects Bright For Restoration Of
Harmony in Republican Ranks in
BernaIiIlo County.

A settlement of the factional differ.
ences that have existed in Republt
can ranks in Bernalillo county during
the past three years will very likely
be effected and peace and harmony
will be restored. The plan to bring
about this settlement and unite the
factions is simple but fair and just.
Frank A. Hubbell. is now chairman
of the county central committee of the
regular Republican organization; the
independent organization among
which are many Republicans and influ.
ential ones at that, objects seriously to
Mr.. Hubbell's continuance in that i'm.
portant office and it's members will not
participate in the Republican party
primaries and conventions as long as
Mr.. Hubbell is the chairman.
AT recent meeting Of the Repub-
lican territorial central committee,
the following plan was proposed and
submitted to all concerned:
The executive and central commit
tee of both factions are to be retired
from active duty and power; before
doing so each faction is to be given
a member on new executive commit
tee to be composed Of three Republi'
cans, which new committee will name
a central committee which will be
the power in the party and have COM
plete charge of all primaries and con-
vention matters, until a new county
convention acts. These three members
of the temporary executive committee
are to be appointed, one by Governor
George Curry; one by Hon. H. o. Bur
sum, chairman Of the Republican ter,
|ritorial central committee, and one by
the independent organization.
These three commissioners will be
empowered and authorized to call the
regular Republican county convention
and primaries for such convention at
which delegates to the Republican con.
vention will be named and these three
commissioner are to exercise the
powers of county central committee
until new convention meets for the
purpose of electing delegates to the
Santa Fe convention and for the re-
Organization of a county central com,
lmittee of Bernalillo county.
