in Saturdays issue Of the Roswell
Record:
Roswell lawyers, returning from
Portales, report that Judge William H.
Pope has suffered nervous collapse
and had to adjourn court and take
ito his room. He had a high fever yes

much as sixteen hours of work a day
are no doubt the cause of his collapse
and he will no doubt be forced to take
a rest"
