A BOGUS CHECK ARTIST
Arrives in Town and Proceeds to
Issue Checks With Air of a
Millionaire.
JOHN SHANNON IS HIS NAME
Now in the County Jail but Will
Doubtless Soon Abide ia Santa
Fe.

There is a bogus check artist
in town. He is supposed to have
arrived yesterday morning, but,
as he did not send word before
hand that he was coming. that is
SuppoSition and nothing more.
He gives his name as John Shan
non, says he is from the east"
but declines 10 say Just what
particular locality in the land of
etieteness and wisdom he halls
from, and is just now occupying
apartments in the county Jail.
Callers are requested TO send up
their cards. All who desire an
audience should call soon, for
MIR. Shannon expects to change
his residence to Santa Fe in the
not very dim and distant future
Shannon began operations in
Socorro Yesterday morning by
Swiping a drummer's grip even
as hen gathereth her chickens
under her wing. He found the
grip to contain a check book and
the drummer'S signature to a lot
OF vouchers and the combination
looked good 10 him 1t was no
time at all until lie was drawing
checks with the abandon OF a
millionaire aud several business
firms of Socorro had the honor
OF passing upon them. One firm
accepted check for ten dollars
in payment for goods, wares and
merchandise that went to swell
Shannon 5 repertoire of personal
effects. Suspicion was soon
aroused, however, and the way
began to be rough for the artis-
tic gentleman when he presented
himself at the Fair Meat market
for identification. When queS-
toned closely he made an excuse
to go out the back door, but
Cresencio Torres ran around the
corner and intercepted him as he
was getting a good start for the
open country at the base OF So
corro mountain. There was
scuiile but it was short and de-
cisive. John Shannon was
quickly escorted by Deputy Hen
ry Dreyfus TO place prepared
for him in the county Jail.
When he was about to be
placed in Jail, Shannon, vino had
imbibed pretty freely of hurrah
juice in celebration OF his sudden
but brief period of prosperity,
wanted TO lick the whole
bloomin' plantation. This morn
ing, however, he was clothed in
his right mind and was not at
all unpleasant TO talk with.
When asked about his conduct
of yesterday he gave utterance to
the remarkably original and
philosophical remark that man
was not made perfect He will
be afforded an opportunity To
make that plea or any other that
may suit his fancy before Judge
Green later today.

held in the court house in this
city Wednesday afternoon and
evening, the republicans of So
zorro county nominated a ticket
that will carry the county by a
majority away up towards a
thousand votes. Its a ticket
that the democrats can't beat
with a club said one hilarious
republican, and he expressed
exactly the feeling that pervaded
the whole convention. In fact,
this very republican ticket is al
ready as good as elected. The
republicans know it, the demo-
Gratis know it, every body knows
it.
Proceedings began promptly
at two o'clock. Chairman Jose
f.. Torres called the convention
to order and a recess was imme-
diately taken for the purpose OF
going into caucus to formulate
the county ticket.
When the caucus was called to
order, Hon. II. O. BurSum was
at once elected president, Geo
w. King secretary, aud f.. ).
Slapleton interpreter. The
agreeing upon the candidates to
be recommended to the conven-
tion for positions on the ticket
was not difficult task, although
the whole afternoon was spent in
eloquent advocacy of the claims
of the various proposed candi-
dates, in speech making, and in
varied manifestations of the en-
| thusiaSm that prevailed.
OF course there were climaXeS
of enthusiasm. One of these
arose when unanimously and by
acclamation Hon. w. Il. Martin
was rendered the nomination for
the territorial council. Then
there were cheers and more
cheers. Mr.. Martin, however,
expressed his keen appreciation
of the honor which those with
whom he has labored SO long in
the republican cause would again
do him, but respectfully declined
the proffered honor for the rea-
son that the duties of his pres
ent position as clerk OF the dis
trlct court would not allow him
to engage actively in a political
campaign for his own election.
The nomination was then OF
tered to Hon. Candelario Garcia,
who has rendered long and val
lent service i'll promoting the in
terests of the republican party
in Socorro county, but Mr.. Gar
cia, also, declined the nomina-
ton. The position was then
offered TO Hon. Estevan Baca,
who accepted it and was unani-
mously chosen for recommended
tion to the convention as the
party's nominee for the leglsla-
tive council.
Six o'clock had come and gone
when the caucus completed its
work. Everything was then in
readiness for the work of the
convention proper, and adjourn
ment was taken until eight
o'clock.
Ii was half past eight before
the delegates were in their places
and Chairman Bursum called the
convention TO order. A COM
mittee on resolutions, consisting
of A. c. Abeytia, Z. III. Kirk
patrick, Ross Weber, and Pierre
Allaire, was then appointed;
also a committee on permanent
organization, consisting OF j. Il.
Torres, J. ID. Carrillo, n. Ayon.
w. A. Cozine, and Chas. Chad
wick.
While the committees were
preparing their reports the con-
vention had an opportunity TO
listen to some oratory of a much
more inspiring kind than is usu-
ally furnished on such occasions.
Chairman Bursum first introduce

Mexico but a short time, but he

of the schools of Socorro county.
He did extremely we'll in that
important capacity then aud there
is the best of reason to believe
that he will do even better dur
ing his second term. Mr.. Torres
will be elected and his majority
will by no means be the smallest
in the list of those given for the
republican candidates.
FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS.
Aleio Gurule and Ismael Or
ttga must have been chosen as
republican candidates for county
commissioner because of their
we'll known level-headed. sound
business sense. At least, if the
convention was looking for men
ul that stamp it could not have
chosen more wisely. Both are
men OF mature years, business
experience, and sober judgment,
exactly the qualities that are re-
quired for the successful trans
action of the county's business
affairs. County business will be
done in a business like way by
Messrs. Gurule and Ortega and
the present capable chairman of
the board, David Farr.

of the duties of county surveyor
