REPRESENTATIVE
OF SPECIAL INTER
EST TO THE PEOPLE
Judge Fall Earnestly Labor
ing For a Constitution Err
bodying Those Provisions
Demanded by the People.
DOES NOT PLAY THE
PART OF DEMAGOGUE

From press reports, prior to the cleo
tion, a good many people had placed
Judge J. b. Fall as a representative of
the special interests. We are glad 10
note that nothing can be further from
the truth. Instead of representing any
special interests Judge Fall /. earnestly
laboring for constitution embodying
those provisions that are demanded by
the people. He is strongly insisting on
the initiative and the referendum, and
corporation commission to be elected
by the people. In doing so he does not
play the part of the demagogue by en-.
deavoring to array class against class,
but he is laboring for a constitution
that will not grant any special privi'
leges to any one but will protect all
persons and interests alike.
Judge Fall is one of the ablest men
in the territory and has great influence
in the convention. II is well for us 10
begin sizeing up the men of the territory
for future refernce and Judge Fall,
not being so well known in this part of
the territory. has been watched by our
people and has not been found wanting.

HENRY GOSS MEETS A
HORRIBLE DEATH IN WELL
Wooden Curbing Gives Way When He Was Fifty Feet
Down-Was Forced to Remain Until Flow Of
Water Drowned Him-Companions Were Powerless
To Assist Him After Several Attempts

On last Monday evening, citizens Of
Tucumcari and community were shock.
ed to learn Of the horrible death of
Henry Goss, which occurred in n well
of VIM. Troup one and one.half miles
from Tueumcari. Mr.. Troup had several
men employed cleaning out the well
on his home place and at $3.50 on Mon.
day evening when Mr.. Goss was about
fifty feet down in the well, the wooden
curbing gave in on the east side of the
well, pinning him down so tightly that
il was impossible for his companions
to remove him and he was forced to re.
man in that position until drowned by
the water that was flowing in from a
new stream that was struck by the
men while cleaning out the well. When
the cave.in occurred Goss cried out
=" Drop the bucket quick, the curbing is
caving in He had 4 shovel in his
hand with which he tried to stop the
cavern, but the handle broke and he
was wedged tightly between the sides
Of the curbing while the water and
quicksand gathered about his lower
limbs. His companions dropped the
bucket and the bucket-chain was placed
around his body and he called to the
men above Draw quickly boys, the wa.
ter is coming up" The men on top OF
the well made several attempts to draw
him out, but IL was impossible TO pull
him through the curbing. Finally Mr..
rroup went down in the well to with
in four feet OF Mr.. Goss and with tim.
bers tried TO prize the casing back, but
on account of the tons of dirt that had
fallen against him, it was entirely i'm.
possible to give the unfortunate man
any relief. Mr.. Troup remained in the
well for nearly an hour and finally when
convinced of the entire impossibility
of saving the man s life, he said to him {:
"Mr. Goss il will be impossible for
us to save you and if you have any
request to make or any word to send to
your family, let me know what it is.
lie said, "Mr. Troup, / realize now that
| must die and that you have done all
you possibly could to save me- When

STOCK EXHIBITS
WERE A SURPRISE
TO. EV z r Y 0 N E

Tucumcari's s Fourth Annual Fair was
more than success. IL was demon

the dryest years this country has ever
experienced 1t also shows what the
citizens Of the city and county can do
on very short notice when they get to.
gether and all pull in the same drec.
tion. This they did, and the fair was
success far beyond the expectations
Of the most sanguine.
The exhibits in all departments, were
said to be the very best Quay County
has ever had. The stock exhibit was a
surprise to everybody. There was some
stock on exhibition that would have
done credit 20 some of the old stock
raising states of the east. A line Of
booths 300 feet long was filed with
farm products, and they were of fine
quality, and when we consider the fact
of the SINNERS drouth, we feel that
the exhibit was in many respects the
best we have ever had.
The Trades Parade was n revelation
TO even the citizens Of Tucumcari. Near.
ly all Of the business houses Of the
city were represented, and the floats
were Of high order.
The entertainments were enjoyed by
the crowd, and as promised by the pro-
gram committee there was sonnet hing
doing every moment. The ball games
were the best ever pulled off on the
Tucumcari diamond, and although Tu.
cumcari lost both games to Nara Visa
they were enjoyed even by the losers.
Nara Visa had n fine team, and they
certainly lid "Play Ball"
We have not the space OF the time
this week to give such al account OF
the Fair as il deserves, and can only
mention some of the features, but in the
News Of next week, we hope to be able
TO give n full account of each feature.
Many persons have expressed them
selves as delighted with the fair, the
manner in which it was conducted, and
the class of exhibits. Several persons
have spoken of the absence of street
fakirs, gambling, betting, etc, and have
pronounced the Fourth Annual Quay
County Fair as clean, entertaining and
in every way huge success.

Oklahoma, and merely state to her that
farewell
The water by this time had risen to
within few inches of his chin, Troup
was drawn to the top of the well and
there with some other persons who had
gathered about the scene sat quietly
with bated breath during the last few
moments of the man below them whom
they were entirely powerless TO help.
The remaining few moments Goss spent
in prayer to God. His request being
that his Heavenly Father would receive
his spirit as quickly as possible. About
$3.50 the words grew faint and then all
was still. The men who were present
said to the News that to sit within a
few feet of a fellow being who was
waiting for death as the water slowly
climbed about his body, and to hear his
prayer, with no possible chance Of re-
covery was one OF the most terrible
experiences of their lives.
The friends Of the dead man at Reed,
Oklahoma, were notified by wire of his
death and reply was received
from them saying: Hold the b. ", we
are coming"
