Obituary of Emery Arnold Shirley.

Like beautiful bud kissed by
frost in the June time, Little
Emory Arnold Shirley was touch
ed by the dark messenger at the
home Of his grandparents, leav-
ing his fond parents, kindred
and friends startled and grief
stricken. Little Emory had just
turned his fourth year and was a
picture of perfect health and re-
diant, happy childhood until
stricken with fever three weeks
ago. The severe illness proved
too much for him and SO weaken
ed his system that on October
29th he ceased to struggle, and
late in the afternoon, he quietly
and peacefully closed his eyes
and sunk into eternal rest.
Little Emory left many fond
friends in Oklahoma, who will
grieve his loss and will sympa-
thize with his bereaved parents
and relatives, as will their newly
made friends in and near Estan-
cia.
"Our young and gentle friend
whose smile
Made brighter summer hours,
Amid the frosts of autumn time
Has left us, with the flowers.
paling of the cheek Of bloom
| Forewarned us Of decay
No shadow from the silent land
| Fell around the little ones way.
The light of his young life went
down,
| AS sinks behind the hill
The glory of a setting star
| Clear, suddenly, and still.
AS pure and sweet, his fair brow
seemed
Eternal as the sky;
| And like the brook low song,
| his voice
| A sound which could not die.
The blessing of his quiet life
Fell on US like a dew,
And good thoughts, where his
footsteps pressed,
; Like fairy blossoms grew.

SPARKSSTARTFIRE

Mrs. Harry Averill had quite a
scare last night at the Valley
Hotel, which after investigation
proved nothing more than intense
sparkling. She had retired at the
usual hour, leaving several of the
young folks sitting around a good
fire in the dining room. Some
time later Cor earlier) the fire
having died down, each of the
said young people being too busy
to replenish it, the crowd found
that love in this altitude is poor
foot warmer, someone volunteer
ed to re- start the fire, and brought
the oil can. After the oil had been
poured into the stove and a match
applied, asharp report was heard,
and each, upon looking into the
others face, thought himself at
a Masque Ball. Mrs. Averill rush
ed down stairs on her crutch,
fearing the worst, but was pleas
ed to learn that nothing worse
had happened than faces, walls
furniture, etc, had been serious
" blackened. Mrs. Averill resum-
ed her rest, while the young peo-
pie continued trying to get warm.

having paid a cent Of taxes to-
wards its support.
For the council in the district
composed Of the counties Of Tor
rance, Lincoln and Otero, John
Y. Hewitt received amajority in
this county. In his home county
of Lincoln he received a major
ty Of about one hundred votes,
% that his election is assured,
1he county Of Otero being nor
maIly democratic.
Several of the candidates On
the republican ticket made good
races and are considered good
men, but a number Of the voters
expressed themselves that these
were in bad company, and voted
the democratic ticket more in
voting against the patry bosses
than against the candidates them
selves. 1t has been understood
that the bosses relied to a great
extent upon the goodness Of
| these men to elect the whole Of
the ticket, and gave them places
on the ticket with that end in
view The voters, however, saw
through the scheme and gave it
the reception it deserved.
Probably the greatest surprises
were in the precincts Of Torreon
and Tajique. Tajique precinct is
the place where two years ago,
| the election officials refused to
accept ballots from those who de-
sired to vote the Democratic
ticket, until about three O'Clock
when the judges decided TO ac-
cept the ballots, but told the
voters they would not be counted,
which the returns showed was
done. In this same precinct this
year, the returns show that a
vote Of ninety-one was polled, al
most evenly divided between the
two tickets, the small maJorltles
being sometimes on one side and
sometimes on the other, At Tor

returns from all but three Of the
sixteen precincts OF Torrance
county show that every candidate
on the Democratic TicketreceiV-
ed majorities at the election last
Tuesday with the exception Of
candidate for Superintendent OF
Schools, who ties with his op-
ponent. The three precincts ye'
to be heard from are Palma,
Punta and Duran. In the latter
precinct a majority Of ten votes
was given the republican candi
date for superintendent and a
majority of four votes the re-
publican candidate for assessor,
the democratic candidates carry
ing off the rest Of the maj ajorities.
Palma returned a democratic ma
jority at the last election, and
will probably do so again. While
Punta at the last election return
ed a small majority for the re-
publican ticket, on account of
the influx Of settlers into the
precinct recently It's expected
to return a small democratic majo,
rity this year
The election Of the suporinton-
dent is in doubt, as also that of
commissioner in the third district,
where j. A. Will, the democratic
candidate has a majority Of nine
teen votes over his opponent,
Pedro Lucero y Torres, with the
three precincts yet to figure on.
The majorities given the sue
cessful candidates run from q
few votes to about four hundred
and fifty, which was given julius
Meyer, our pext sheriff 1t was
conceded from the day of the
nomination, that no one in the
county could defeat Meyer for
sheriff, the only question being
the size of the majority. The
majority is merely a deserving
tribute and credit to an honorable
man.
E. W. Robertson will be the
next probate clerk Of the county,
his vote standing right at the
thousand mark, with his Oppo-
nent's only a little more than
half as much. In the Estancia
precinct Robertson receiveda a ma
jority of exactly three hundred,
while in Mcintosh he received all
but six votes. Candido Padilla
has been chairman Of the Repub-
lican County Central Committee
4 until the recent convention, and
forced his nomination for clerk
It was freely predicted that his
name on the ticket would mean
defeat to the party in the county
but some of his nearest friends
declared he could carry them tC
victory. "Ihe people still rule
but not as did Candido.
