J. J. BROPHY SUCCUMBS
TO LINGERING ILLNESS
His Demise Attributed to Ef-
fects of Ptomaine Poison
ing and Shock from
Sons S Tragic End

j. j. Brophy, one Of the earliest res
idents of Union county, and prominent
in the public life of the city and coun-
ty, passed over the Great Divide Sun
day morning at 1886 a. M, after an
illness of about ten days. His death is
shock to many Of his old friends,
though his health has been very poor
for the past five months, in fact ever
since the death of his eldest son, which
occurred about a year ago, and to
which Mr.. Brophy never became re-
conciled.
Requiem Mass was held Monday
at 8 a. m. and the funeral services
took place at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, Rev. Father Dumarest ofiiciat-
ing. The casket was heaped with
flowers, tributes of loving friends. The
pail bearers were C. U. Bridges, A. C.
Miera, j. M. Gonzales, Dick Carson,
John Spring and Tom Gray. Inter-
ment was made in the Masonic ceme-
terry by the side of his son, Frank,
whose death was such a blow to him
and was partially the cause of his
death.
John Brophy was unique chara-
cter, absolutely fearless and with iron
nerve. He was born in Michigan but
came to Texas when a small boy and
took to punching cattle" as duck
takes to water. He came from Dolby
Walls, to Tascosa, Texas, which was
one of the early gathering places for
all westerners. Trail herds always
made Tascosa stopping place and it
has a foremost place in the early his
tory of this country. He was fore
man of ranch for several years, and
when John King, now of Trinidad
was elected sheriff Of Oldham Coun-
ty he appointed Mr. Brophy as
deputy. After Mr.. Kings term of Of
flee had expired, John went to Dodge
City, Kansas, where he was cattle in
spector for several years. He was
called back to Tascosa to become fore
man of the L. S. ranch which position
he held for about two years. He mar
ried Miss Rosa Duran, and took up
residence in Clayton. He has been
United States Deputy Marshal, Dep
uty Sheriff, and City Marshal at diff
ferent times since living here. He
moved to Tucumcari, where he went
into business for himself but, liking
Clayton better, he came back after
two years absence and remained here
until his death.
His eldest son accidentally shot him
self about a year ago and the shock
was a great blow to his parents. Mr..
Brophy was never the same man after
this happened. About five months
ago he had a severe attack of pto-
maine poisoning and he steadily failed
since, not seeming to have any desire
to live. He was a devoted husband
and father and loved his family with
great intensity. He is survived by a
wife, who is heartbroken over the loss
of both husband ard son in years
time, and a son, John Jr. The family
have the sincere sympathy of the
entire community in their sorrow.

Team Prepared for Battle

Clayton's lnjuns are equally as
strong, if not just a little stronger
than the lineup at the second game
with Trinidad when Clayton cleaned
up on them with a score of 13 to 6.
Manager George has not announced
who will heave for Clayton. Brown,
the Dawson right handler, Georges
latest addition to the pitching staff,
may make his debut on this occasion.
1t is not expected there will be much
if any change in the lineup from that
of the second game with the Eagles.

Folks North of Rabbit Ears Threaten
to Have Some" Celebration

They say it will be one of the big
gest and best celebrations in the coun-
ty and there is some reason for an as
sertion, as the hundreds who attended
the. celebration in the Stubblefield
grove last year will testify. When the
people north of the Rabbit Ears start
out to get up any kind of a celebra-
tion it is sure to be a "hum dinger."
Those behind the celebration this
year were especially selected because
they were the ones who put the "Pep"
in pepper. They will use vast quanti-
ties of "pep" in putting over this Gel
ebration. There will be all kinds of
races, games, dancing etc. "Some-
thing doing all the time" as the big
bills tell us.
Listen! If you really want to eel
ebrate the glorious fourth this year,
if you want to make the welkin ring
(whatever that is), if you want to
enjoy the biggest, best and jolliest ag-
gregation of games, sports and mirth
making stunts, then be sure and at
tend the celebration of the glorious
Fourth to be held at the Stubblefeld
Grove on the Corrumpa, east of the
Dish Rag crossing, on July 3rd and
4th.

MISS WERE DE WERE AGAIN ON
THE STAND

O. You are the same Miss We're de
We're who formerly testified in this
case?
A | am.
O. Did you state in your cross ex-
animation that the Travelling Auditor
should have prepared and submitted
report of his investigations of the
records of the officials which is entire
ly unintelligible in its ramblings, and
inaccurate?
A l did not. I stated that it is
the duty of the T. A. to audit the
records of the several county offices
carefully and accurately and to make
report of his findings. This our T.
A. did and said report is a part of the
records of the county.
O. If this report is part of the
records of the county why does the
Snooze attempt to discredit the work
of the T. A. and make such untrue
reports?
A Politics. The Snooze believes
it can fool the people.
O. If the afore mentioned report
is part of the records of the coun-
ty, why does the Snooze not publish
same?
A Because to publish the report
would show to the people of Union
Co., the true status of official affairs
and the snooze is afraid of the truth.
O. Did the Snooze ask you the fol-
lowing question: "Do you understand
that the law in force prior to the en-
actment of the salary bill required Of
ficials to keep accurate record of fees
collected and retained for services and
that upon enactment of the salary bill
they wuold have been in effect during
their incumbancy?"
A Yes the question was asked.
O. When was the salary bill pass
ed?
A The salary bill was passed and
became a law in February, 1915.
G-Does the salary bill contain q
provision relative to salary or fees re-
ceived prior to its passage?
A Section 8, of the salary bill con-
tains a provision which reads as fol-
lows: "Within 80 days from the date
of the passage of this act, each coun-
ty officer shall file with the Board of
County Commissioners Of his county,
a true, accurate and itemized account
under oath, showing all amounts and
monies heretofore received by him as
such officer, or by virtue of his Office
from whatsoever source derived
" and at the time of filing such
accounts each county officer shall pay
into the treasury of his county all
amounts so received by him as afore-
said, over and above the amounts for
which he shall be entitled to credit as
above stated, etc.
O. Did each of the county officials
of Union county file such a report?
A Yes.
O. How long after the passage OF
the salary bill was it before the audit
was made?

COUNTY HIGH SCHOOLS ARE
DESIRABLE

In my last article / mentioned the
enrolment in the Clayton school and
endeavored to set out the utter mad
equacy of our present school facilities.
| stated also that in my next article /
would give a general statement re-
garding the building proposed for
erection by the Clayton Board of Ed
ucation.
The basement or ground floor is to
contain the domestic science room,
manual training room, boiler room,
fuel room, and the toilets. The sec
ond floor is to contain adequate cor
ridors, cloak rooms, an Office, four
class rooms each thirty feet by twen-
ty-two feet eleven inches and a IL
brary room twenty-eight feet eight
inches by twenty-five feet eleven
inches. The third floor is to contain
an assembly room with a seating ca
pacity of about six hundred fifty peo-
pie. A good stage suitable to the
needs of such building and two
dressing rooms of sufficient size so
that same may be used for music or
commercial purposes. IN addition to
this there is to be a laboratory anu
one class room.
With a building such as the above
our physical equipment would be such
as to meet all requisites and enable
us to have an up-to-date school such
as Clayton is justly entitled to have.
The Board has recently elected an
experienced, well educated and effici-
ent superintendent, ]. f. Chamberlain,
to take charge of the Clayton schools.
Supt. Chamberlain has prepared a
course of study for the high school
that meets all requirements to place
it on the accredited list. This is the
first time in the history of the schooI
that this has ever been done. The
Board will under all probability
adopt the outlined course. But in or.
der to carry out this course OF
study the high school must have
more room and equipment for its
work than it has at the present time
The scholastic enumeration of Dis.
trict No. for the present year is
400. The enrolment of the Clayton
schools for the year just ended was
SIG. When we consider the fact that
about eighty percent of the enumera-
tion, which includes all children from
five to twenty-one years Of age, is
the actual number enrolled we fine
that the Clayton schools had enrolled
nearly one hundred and ninety non
resident pupils.
The Board of Education, the repre-
sentatives of the people, do not fee
justified in refusing these children ad
mission to the Clayton schools neither
do they feel justified in charging tut
ton. Yet is it right or just tina
Clayton should bear all of this bur
den?

needs of this county. From reports 81

office again changed management,
when R. R. Pearman resigned to go to
Denver for the present and perhaps to
the Philippine Islands in the near fu-

Holmes, present day man for the C.

During his short stay here Mr..

ton of prompt attention to customers
and has hustled new business in the
interests of his company.

New York, April 81. - Daytime
dresses, this season, seem to have
reached the height Of perfection.
There are the simplest of the
simple, in designs for morning or
street wear, and the daintiest, most
airy possible of creations for afternoon
and evening purposes. The typical
summer dress is more charming than
it has been for many year. 1t is
fashioned of the fascinating voiles,
crepes, flouncings, and organizes ia.
vored this season, and trimmed with
ribbon, lace, embroidery and beads.

Feather-stitching and cross-stitch are
both being used effectively on chill
dren's garments and here again we see
the effect of color, for in children's
fashions there is the same demand for
brightness. Fashion says that small
people shall be dressed quantity and
prettily, that is all, and leaves us to
work our own salvation. This is not
difficult as materials are so charming
and so inexpensive. There are figured
and Powered dimities, dainty striped
batistes and lawns, fascinating voiles
and crepes, patterned in quaint de-
signs, and the popular embroidered
tlouncings. Challis and mixed fabrics
are being used in the jumper dresses
for the small girl, combined with
guimpes, white or colored. These lit
tie dresses are often piped with emer-

OUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE Eu-
ROPEAN SLAUGHTER.

Washington, d. C.-During the
month of February, 1898, O36 worth
OF war munitions left ports of the
United States for the various Govern.
ments of the Entente allies.
This Is the largest attained since
inc outbreak OF the war, exceeding the
previous high record, that of Decem-
Der, 1915. by about 100000.
These figures were made public to.
day by the Bureau of Foreign and On.
nestle Commerce. The total value of
all firearms and ammunition exported
from August, 1914, to and incIudino
February, 1916, is put at $27e, oo6. POS.
Inc detailed figures for February
show that in the last few months the
value OF shipments of gunpowder has
been decreasing, while the shipments
or cartridges, firearms and high explo.
slVes are increasing. More gunpowder
was shipped in the month of Novem.
per last, and in December also. than
IN either January or February. The
February figures show an increase in
every item over those Of January,
1t is also significant that by far the
largest single item of munitions ex.
ported in February was that of high
explosives. listed as Explosives other
than gunpowder." and comprising s32.-
235,724. practically three-fourths of the
total.
AS showing the steady increase in
this traffic since the war began. the
total value Of shipments of war NUM-
lions during the month of August, 1914.
was only $405.SS1. and for the first
four months of the war only s6.024.s14.
Some seasonal fluctuations are OBJ.
servable in the various classes of mu.
milton shipments. Thus the shipments
OF cartridges increased steadily
through the first year of the war.
reaching $3,o2s,os3 in May. 1915, and
then dropped down to less than half
that figure in September, where they
began to pick up once more, and in
January and February surpassed all

woman's business, the house dress
marks her as efficient or inefficient.

effectively used in these dresses, a fig
