GRANTED PARDON

Governor George Curry has
granted a pardon to William
Hall, a life term convict in the
territorial penitentiary. Hall was
sent to the penitentiary from
Chaves county on January 27,
1908, for the killing of a man
there in a quarrel over woman.
Relatives of Hall have been en-
deavoring for the past five years
to secure his pardon and Texas
senators and congressman were
interested in the case as well as
influential citizens of the Lone
Star state. There were certain
extenuating circumstances hence
the pardon, Halls home is in
Coleman, Texas, where his fam
lily resides. He will go there i'm
mediately. During his term in
the penitentiary he was q model
prisoner.

DR.. PAUL W. KIRK
PATRICK, DEAD

The citizens of Alamogordo
were shocked Sunday morning to
hear of the death of DR.. Kirk
patrick which occurred at II
o'clock the night before, though
he had been in very poor health
for some time.
DIR. Kirkpatrick, his wife and
daughter came to this city about
four years ago in hope of bene-
fitting his health. He made
rapid improvement for some
time but lately has failed quite
rapidly. While here he has held
the positions of assistant ply
sician at the hospital, physician
in charge at the Blind Institute
and county health officer, all Of
which positions he held at the
time of his death. He was a
Mason and the regular masonic
service was held at the chapel in
the Buck undertaking parlors on
Sunday. His sister, Mrs. Kirk
land accompanied the remains
home to Jonesboro, Tenn, and
his wife and little daughter left
the next day to make that city
their home.
The entire community mourns
the loss of a good man and an
excellent citizen.

ALTERNATE OF THE
ELECTION

In this weeks paper will be
found the corrected tabulated
report of the county election re-
turns.
The News office was too busy
last week to even make desired
changes in the advertising col
dmns and too crowded for space
to insert all the election returns
that was in type.
The AlamogordO band made
election day very pleasant with
its afternoon concert in the court
house park.
The Democratic county ticket
consists of Denny, Pelphrey,
Edgington and Sanders, while
the Republicans elected Baird,
Simms, Bowman, Fields and
Haxby, that is a little the best
of the bargain isn't it?
There were 1861 votes polled
at the recent election, the pre-
vious record was considerable
less than 400.
The Postal Telegraph system
furnished the dispatches which
were posted on the blackboard at
the court house the night of the
election. They were taken by
Z. d. Rockwell Of forest service
and when they got started in
good shape they came SO fast
that Messrs. Thompson and
Thulemeyer couldn't keep them
on the board. The court room
was packed to standing room and
much enthusiasm was shown.

THE OS-APLE PARADE
WAS A SUCCESS

Those who attended the big
horse show and parade in FL
Paso last week have nothing but
words of praise for the entire
performance. The parade COM
pared favorably with the cele-
brated Priests of Palace, of
Kansas City. The first prize for
floats was won by the "a big
handsome horses which are owned
by the Alamogordo Improvement
company and which drew the
float in the parade. The follow
ing description of the float ap-
peared in the Ell Paso Herald:
Among the other historical
features was the float of the
Toltec club on which the Ysleta
tribe of Indians, headed by
chief COlumenerO, nine OF his
braves and papoose. The float
was decorated with Mexican
dagger plants on each Of the four
corners, and tepee in center.
The Indians did their native
dances to the music of the tom
tom and their chanting, the same
as they have been doing in the
old town down the river for the
past two hundred years.

PUBLIC LIBRARY

The AlamogOrdo Library was
openrd to the public shortly after
the town was established, and
the first subscriptions and books
for its use, came from those in
terested in the development of
the town.
Realizing the benefit a public
library meant to AlamogordO,
they subscribed a monthly sum
from the Ell Paso d Northeast
ern r. R., as it was then called,
also monthly subscriptions from
the Alamogordo Lumber and I'M
prOvement Companies. Since
then the railroad and lumber
interests have passed into other
hands, and these monthly sub
scriptions have ceased.
At the present time the library
depends entirely for its support
upon the efforts of the Woman's
Library Association, and the as
sociation, in turn, depends on
the cooperation and patronage
of the people of this town, when
they give occasional entertain
ments to supply funds to meet
the running expenses.
Library cards are issued cost
ing one dollar and fifty cents per
year, also cards by the month at
q reduced price for transients,
and these entitle their holders to
