the last time Charles Alien tight

and the battle went % the Presby-
terians by the score of 9 to s.
The game was one mingled with in
tense excitement from start to finish
and the spectators were thrilled. more
By the closeness of the conflict than
anything else. Duri the first two
spasms Allen was handing up
medicine that was hard to take and
the Congregationals were helpless. On
the other hand the Presbyterians got
to Joy for four counts However. in
the next session the tide turned and
the Congregationals slipped three
men across the pan At the close of
the fifth the score was to in favor
OF the CONGREGATIONAL and two more

terrain boys were heavy in the sixth
end counted four times, winning the
game
Both Allen and Joy pitched good
ball during the entire game and kept
the hits pretty well scattered Nor

heavy performers with the stick. each
getting three safe bingles.

the state of New Mexico to be a non

science of each individual voter.
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That in-as-much as
the majority of the voters of Luna
county have not as yet had an OPP
portunity to study the proposed con-
stitution, we do not deem 1t proper
for the convention to be held at
Santa Fe on the nth of December.

members thereof to the policy Of
adopting or rejecting said constitu-
ton. And be it further resolved that
the three delegates from Luna county
are instructed to vote and work as n
unit against any attempt to commit
the party or members for or against
said constitution. In the event the
convention pledges the party for or
against the proposed constitution.

at liberty to cast their votes as they
see fit, believing the same TO be a
non-partisan question"
