In the number of representative
citizens that have been instrumental
in the upbuilding of Roswell from a
village to a city and the first city in
Southeastern New Mexico, Old Ken

erally her share and Clark county,
can be proud that S. P. Denning first
the historic city of Lexington.
He was the son of Benjamin DEM
ing of Virginia, and his mother, Miss
Elizabeth Price, hailed from Mary
the mixture of Maryland, Virginia
and Kentucky, is excellent. The par
ents were of Scotch-Irish and Eng
lish descent and this is reflected in
the ruddy, honest countenance of the
son who has been highly successful
in the architect, contracting, building,
well drilling and townsite promoting
business since he located in Roswell,
in February, 1900.
A short history of the man from the
time he left his ancestral home in
kentucky when he was 1S years of
age will doubtless interest the read
ers of the Record and his many
friends in New Mexico and Texas.
His life in Kentucky was spent in
farming and in going to school. When
he left home he went directly to
Sherman, Texas and was engaged
there in the then romantic occupation
of gathering cattle for butcher at
Sherman. This was in the early days
OF 1876 and he got enough of the
COW business in one year. He went
from Sherman to Limestone county,
below Dallas and entered the employ
of G. H. Elliott to learn the architect
Mr.. Elliott was from Minnesota and
was one of the most skillful archi-
tect and contractors operating Sin
that part of Texas. Young Denning
was enthusiastic to learn the trade
and he advanced very rapidly. In 1879
he went to Mexia, Texas, where he
was foreman for Corley Brothers,
well known contractors and builders,
and was in their employ until jan
uary, 1892 Resigning this position,
he went on the road as commercial
salesman for a Peoria, Illinois, nur-
sery and travelled over the entire
state of Texas for one year, then re-
turning to Mexia, Texas. This trip
was a highly important one, as in
December, 1888, at that place, he
married Miss Sallie Henson, who a
few years previous had located at
Mexia with her parents. Mr. and Mrs

and remained there for fourteen years
where he was engaged in the active
business of architect and contracting

ing and partly alone, when he moved
to Roswell in 1900 with his family.
Mr.. Denning came here for broad

sentially for the benefit of the eli
| mate for the only daughter, Miss Jesse
Mae Denning, who was in feeble
health. Three other children were
born of the union, Will and Elmer
Denning in Texas and little Pruit
Denning, who is a New Mexico prod
| uct, four years of age. Miss Jesse Mae
was highly charming young lady
and by the sweetness of her disposi
| ton won a large circle of friends
here. From a high school girl in Ros-
well she budded into the full bloom
of womanhood and attended the Sim
mons College at Abilene, Texas, for
one year where she was the recipient
| of two medals. Later she attended the
Trinity University, at Waxahachie,
Texas, for two years, receiving honors
at this institution. The mild climate
| of New Mexico seemed to benefit her
greatly for awhile and in October,
| 1906, she was united in marriage to
DR.. Charles Thomas, of Artesia, who
had been her schoolmate friend in
Texas. The marriage was solemnized
at the Denning home in this city and
was one of the prettiest weddings in
| the history of Roswell. Mrs. Thomas
failed rapidly in health after having
| located with her husband at Balling-
| er, Texas, and returned here, where
she passed away at the home of her
parents in this city, August 26, 1907.

Little Pruit is living with his par

During Mr.. Denning's residence in

Chief of the Fire Department, and for
two two year terms was a Member
of fhe City Council and Member OF
the Board of Education.

New York-A team of oxen drawn &

j. M. Oracle Loses Suit.

Judge A. B. Grace of the Jefferson
Circuit Court Monday rendered a de-
cision in the case of John NJ. Oracle
against jefferson county, adverse to
the plaintiff, who contested the right
of County Judge James Gould to lease
county prisoners to nonresident of
the county.
Heretofore for several years, Mr..
Oracle has received the award of the
contract for the prisoners, but a few
months ago j. B. Auburn of Red Leaf
in Chicot county, made the best bid
for the county convict labor. In addi-
ton to paying the costs of the prison
ers when sentenced he offered TO pay
33 1-2 per cent of their fines. Mr. Ora
cie's figure on the fines was only 10
per cent, and the award went to Am
burn.
Oracle thereupon appealed to the
Circuit Court, and in his decision Mon
day Judge Grace stated that he was
not legally entitled to such an appeal.

guest chamber in the front of the old
Corsican mansion.
He knocks almost reverently and q

She is in a nook of the big room well
from the faint candle light.
He passes an arm about her slender
waist and kisses her passionately. Her
lips respond as sweetly and clingingly
as ever did those of young bride.
But even in the midst of the ,.iss,
Barnes starts back with a sharp,
amazed cry of almost horror: MY
