Personal

Mr. o. NJ Talley is in the city from
| his home in New Mexico. He is &C
| companied by Mr.. Cox, nephew of the
erstwhile candidate for collector of
customs at this port. Mr.. Cox is one
of the most prominent Republicans in
the territory of New Mexico and Mr..
Talley spent several weeks in this
city. some months ago, circulating pc
| tition in the interest of Mr.. Cox's can
didacy for the collectorship. Mr.. Cox
, is now returning the compliment by
aiding Mr. Talley. who is said to be
candidate for district clerk of this
county Mr.. Cox has interviewed quite
a number of our voters. Both gentle
men are very much impressed with the
rapid growth of FL PaSO, and Mr.. Talley
says he would like to make this city his
future home if he can find employment
here. Ranching in New Mexico seems 10
agree with Mr.. Talley, however. He
IS considerably tanned as a result of his
two years outdoor life, and it is doubt
full If city life Will agree with him
after his long experience at TOughing it.
Mr.. Wade Thomas, the coIored poll
tician, ex-deputy sheriff and owner OF
the most popular negro saloon in the
city, expects to remain in FL PasO, not
withstanding the UnceremOniOus cancel
ing of his commission by sheriff Hall.
Mr. Thomas did not care much for Of
fetal life, anyway, the duties of his
office conflicting in NEST annoying
way with the business to which he looks
for a living. Mr.. ThOmas's commission
as a deputy sheriff was cancelled a few
days ago. it appearing that his cOntinu-
alton in office might hurt Mr. Hail po-
liticauy.
Mr. F. n. Hall, the popular New
Mexico ranchman, is in the city for a
few days He is one of his fathers nu-
merous deputy sheriffs, and while in the
city is aiding his father in a political
way. Mr.. Halls commission as a deputy
sheriff comes IN pretty handy, inasmuch
as he frequently has occasion TO shoot
coyotes when on his ranch in New
MexicO1
Mr.. Juan Franco is still, it seems, I'M
able to pay the money he owes the
county. He will probably have about SIX
months more to serve as deputy sheriff.
however and his many friends trust
that he will be able TO pull through and
retire from office free from any pc
cuniary obligation to the people of the
county.
Cap" Mitchell. formerly of the po-
lice department, but at present busted
only with the worries of running for
constable and carrying one of sheriff
Halls deputyships, is mixing quietly
with the voters in the hope that he may
land another political job. Well, Caps
q good fellow. even IL he has been
spoiled.
Mike McNally. one of sheriff Halls
deputies, continues to do business at
the Midway Inn, despite the arduous
duties of his office. Mr.. McNally
does not pretend that his appointment
as a deputy sheriff was the result of a
pull with, nor was it done at the request
of, any one of The numerous corpora
tons doing business in our city Mike
got his commission on his own hook.
Our popular sheriff, Mr. Florence J.
Hail., probably intends to remove TO
California, where he has purchased a
beautiful home, when his present term
Of office expires. Something about his
countenance indicates that THAI Cali
fornia home in calling him good and
strong 1t is too bad that a man will
get into politics so deeply once in a
while that he can't turn loose till he is
Jared loose, but Mr.. Hall will doubtless
feel the better for the experience after
the soreness has worn off,
