The knowledge of The Beacon as to

ue kuoWleuSe OF me beacon as TO
local affairs, particularly in manu- :.
featuring lines, is only exceeded by
its desire to elect the whole Democrat
ic ticket regardless of the personal fit
ness of the candidates in our County
Without serious effort on their part
they could easily have established the
fact that their statement as to the
hours of work of all the local manu-.
featuring plants was false. The state
excepting one had operated more than
half time during the present year is
absurd, as we'll as malicious in that it
may lead thinking people to rely on
the statement as fact
More than one plant has operated
more than half time and one of our
plants has operated full all during the
said time aud is now running night
and day
Without further comment we leave
an intelligent public to Judge of the
methods used in the present political
campaign which is being generally
run ON very much higher principles
than The Beacon is able to observe.

DEAR SIR
The Socialist Party of Hunterdon
county hereby enters u strong protest
against the disgraceful scenes which
occurred at it's meeting on the evening
OF Oct. 9th, ut the corner Of Bridge h
Union streets. We have been given
permission to hold these meetings by
the Mayor and President of City Coun-
ell aud have been promised police
protection. Instead of this when the
need arose after we had complied
with all his demands aud cleared the
sidewalk by personal appeal To the
audience, officer Treftz failed to keep
it cleared aud allowed frequent dis
turbanees to occur which affected the
efficiency of our meeting.
The Socialist Party be it understood
is regularly organized, recognized
political party with full tickets in
the field in national aud state elections
and is entitled under the constitution
to the full benefit of all laws guar
anteeing freedom of speech aud we
insist that this be given us.
We wish particularly to protest
against the effort made ON Monday
night to break up the meeting. Two or
three hoodums disturbed the speaker
throughout the meeting against the
protest Of almost the entire audience
but we could not get officer Treftz to
restrain them aud they only grew loud
or and holder in their disturbances
when he was present
Yours respectfully

A SK00Tl
FRAY.
Ore Dead ard am
other seriously
Wounded.

A serious shooting affair took
place near Cottonwood Springs,
about ten miles west of the west
line of Baca county and about a
miles west Of the Murray ranch
on Butte Creek, last Sunday
morning, and as result the old
gentleman Lowery is dead and
Hunt, a boy about sixteen years
of age is badly wounded.
The stories in regard to how
the trouble started are very
conflicting, but it would appear
that young Hunt while standing
outside the cabin, in which he
and Charles Hedrick were camp
ed, had become engaged in a
quarrel with the senior Lowery.
What provocation there was is
hard to determine from the in
formation obtainable but Lowery
fired at young Hunt with a shot
gun, hitting him in the breast
and left side of the face, putting
out his left eye. Charles He'd
rick who was near Hunt when
shot, stepped back and picked
up a winchester and fired at
Lowery and then turned his at
tention to helping the wounded
boy to place of safety, and the
younger Lowery shot at them as
they retreated. ,I1-."
After hiding young Hunt in
the rocks, Hedrick went to the
Murray ranch for help and with
assistance from that place re-
turned with a spring-wagon for
the wounded boy whom they
took to the Murray ranch. After
getting the boy to the Murray
ranch, Hedrick then came to
Springfield to report to the Sher-
iff, who with under sheriff, Bray,
Immediately went to the scene
of the trouble.
When the sheriff reached the
camp he found the senior Lowery
dead; he had been struck in the
breast by the ball fred from
Hedrick's gun, and died in about
three minutes. Hedrick stated
when he arrived here that he
had shot at Lowery but did not
know whether he had hit him or
not; he received a telephone mes
sage about noon the following
day informing him that he had
killed Lowery. The Sheriff re-
turned the following evening
with one of the Lowery boys
who admitted shooting at Hunt

Dear Sir: wish to call at
tention Of the Board to recent
acts of the Legislature in regard
to public health, and vital sta
tistics, especially sections $751;
and 25 which l have marked in
inclosed copy. You can see that
in a county of this size how hard
it is to get information in re-
gard to deaths. They are often
buried several days before the
Health Officer knows it, and the
law plainly states that this shall
not be done.
What is to be done? l think
notice should be published in
the newspaper and posters put
at every Post Office in the coun-
ty notifying the public of their
duty under this law. Please
give this matter attention and
notify me of your action in the
matter.
