Clayton, Wednesday evening, June 81,
when Miss Ruth Long became the
bride of DR.. Thos. N. Dyson, the Rev.
j. A. Cassidy performing the cere-
mony.
The bridal couple motored to Clay
ton in their car, in the early evening,
accompanied by Miss Annie Powell,
Mr., James Stitzle and Rev. Cassidy.
Following the ceremony the party
spent some time in Clayton and later
motored home, where a bridal supper
was served at the grooms residence by
Mesdames Powell and Maldonado with
Mrs. Irene Brownlee and w. L. Burns,
as guests.
After the supper the party was en-
tertained by music furnished by Mrs.
Brownlee and Mrs. Maldonado
Miss Long is well known and liked
here, as she was a graduate of our
high school and since then has been
teaching school at Corlena and other
places.
DR.. Dyson has been engaged in the
practice of medicine here for the past
year and numbers his friends by the
score.
The couple will make their home in
the north part of town, and will antic-
ipate with pleasure the visits of their
friends.-Texline Enterprise,

Clayton Wins From Dalhart


Before a crowd of more than 200
fans the Clayton bunch in a melo-dra-
matte wind-up trimmed Dalhart, it's
first and only real adversary Friday
afternoon by a score of 4 to 3.
Things looked dark for Clayton in the
last half of the ninth with two down
and the fans leaving the grounds Nor
ton and Hatchett both went down in
the first half of the final session with
the. score 3-2 for Dalhart. Clark got
clean hit. Brown rolled one down
the third base line. Page, twirler for
the visitors waited for the ball to roll
foul" but it didn't. He waited too
long. Brown was making it to first in
nothing flat. Page threw ten feet over
first and Clark came home tieing the
score. Fred Wight, playing his first
game Of the season came up. He
whitfield at the first one. Page sailed
one over that looked good and Fred
raped it for a perfect hit and Brown
drifted home-making the winning
score.
The last inning was the principle
feature of the game although there
was enough interest in all the nine in
nings to satisfy everybody.
Brown started the game but was re-
placed by Morton in the fourth. Hon
ors for hitting went to the Clayton
lads.

PURCHASERS OF PUBLIC LAND
IN UNION COUNTY

The following is a list Of the pur-
chases of public land made Tuesday
morning at the court house. The sale
was a very tame affair and most of
the land sold at the appraised value,
there being only two tracts that were
raised. R. P. Ervien, New Mexico
Public Land Commissioner, personally
conducted the sale, assisted by the
State auctioneer, John March. A
large crowd was present and a num-
ber Of people came from all parts of
the county to attend but owing to
weather conditions, the enthusiasm
was nothing to what was expected.
Some Of the land sold is very fine for
farming purposes.

ROOSEVELT WILL LEND
HUGHES ASSISTANCE
Progressive Leader Declares
Third Party Can't Win.
Hughes Platform Is
Endorsed

Chicago, June 26.-Theodore Roose-
welt in letter read to the progress
sive national committee in Session here
today, finally declined to accept the
presidential nomination Of the party,
and strongly urged the bull moose or
ganization to support Charles E.
Hughes. Questions which confronted
the committee were: Shall third par
ty ticket be put in the field? Shall
Hughes be substituted for Roosevelt
on the progressive ticket or shall
Hughes be endorsed? Shall the com
mittee refuse to endorse any candi-
date? Shall the progressive party or
ganization be continued?
The committee decided against open
ing the session to newspaper men by
a vote of 35 to Is. John NJ. Parker
led the fight for an open session. Geo.
w. Perkins advocated a closed session,
at least for time.
AT the executive session Chester ri.
Rowell of California, Raymond Robins
of Illinois and James r. Garfield of
Ohio related to the committee the i'm
pressions they had formed at a con-
ference with Mr. Hughes in New York.
The committee then decided to make
the meeting an open one, and the 10
members who withdrew when the re-
port on Mr. Hughes views was start
ed, including John NJ. Parker return
ed.
William Finn of Pennsylvania mov-
ed that Colonel Roosevelt's declination
be accepted The motion was carried
by acclamation, without an objectine
vote.

AS SEEN FROM THE BLEECHERs

Clayton's banking institutions fur
nish a goodly share of the baseball
timber for Clayton's now rapid aggre-
cation. OF course there are only two
regulars" from the banks now in the
lineup, H. C. McFadden, the fleet-foot-
ed center and Hardy Kerr the de-
pendable shortstop-and there is Um-
pire Clark whose services have be-
come pretty much in demand. Then in
a pinch three more players can be re-
cruited, Chester Kiser, Robert Ham
lin and j. H. Gregg.
We hope it is not going to be neces-
sary to mention in this column that
the people of Clayton are subscribing
their money to the Clayton team for
Just one purpose, that purpose being
for the player to Play Ball and not
The Clayton citizen. [volume] (Clayton, Union County, N.M.) 1906-19??, 1916-06-29

to make speeches.
We want to reserve this column for
the happy side of the game.
1t is not without regret that the
stories of game find Clayton's old
twirler, Bill Lynch on the opposing
lineup. However he is faring very
well, inasmuch as he has a good
berth with the Dalhart crew.
W. R. Brown, formerly at the head
of the Durango, Colo, team and late
of Dawson, N. NJ, left this week to
accept his old job as coach of Durango
boys. Brown worked in a couple of
games for Clayton. From observa-
tions of him he is not a grand-stand
player. He works quietly and good
naturedly. He came here as a pitch
er and while he perhaps did not show
all the twirlng ability the local fans
demand they all agree that he knows
the game, and is dependable most any
where and has the llnack of hiding the
sore spot when distressing errors or
plain bone-head plays try the patience
Of players and spectators alike.
This column has watched the work
of Mattox. He is another boy who
readily makes friends with fans who
know the game. His line of talk from
third, to his team mates throughout
the varied fortunes of the game puts
big league life in it. On the field he
works fast and clean and knows what
to do with the ball when he gets it. He
hits good and runs bases the same
way.
Howard Moore threatens to shake
the injury and get back in the game.
Besides playing, Moore's luck is awe
inspiring to say the least.
To our notion Fred Wight should be
reserved as a pinch hitter against
Page of Dalhart. Surely the sight of
Fred should give Page the buck after
what happened Friday.
Big Bob continues to be the Water
loo for pitchers.
Manager George wished an awful
place on Clayton folks in which spend
the Fourth But Luther says it was
the best he could do when he matched
two games with Dalhart for the
Fourth and Fifth. Hence there is
nothing to do but everybody go along
and root the home team to victory.
Twirler Waters and infelder Miller
late of the Cheyenne Indians arrived
Saturday evening. Although the game
Sunday in which they worked was
hardly a test, both showed up well.

CAPT. MOREY, WOUNDED
ESCAPES TO U. S. LINES
Tell Story Of Carrizal Fight
and Bravery of American
Troopers. Carranza Will
Release Prisoners

Field Headquarters, Mexico, June
27, by Wireless to Columbus, N. NJ
American negro troopers faced almost
certain death at Carrizal with smiles
in their eyes and slang on their lips
and they burst into song once OF
twice as they fought their grim fight
against odds. This was the story told
by Captain Lewis S. Morey when he
arrived at field headquarters today.
" For fortyAfve minutes the men
fought joking among themselves all
the while, even though they realized
we had been trapped and had little
chance of getting out alive" he said.
Captain Morey said he had never
seen such yalor as was displayed by
Captain Charles T.>Boyd in leading a
handful of dismoupted skirmishers
through the machine gun fire and into
the ambush of death. He added that
it was not until their ammunition was
exhausted that the troop wasufnally
cut to pieces, and he told of the heroic
death of Lieutenant Harry R. Adair of
Portland, Ore, in an attempt to re-
plenish it.
Adair Died Fighting
Lieutenant Adair died fighting, his
last words being "Go on, Sergeant" to
a non-commissioned officer at his side,
Captain Morey said. The two were
on their way to the pack animals car
rying the ammunition when they we're
intercepted near a small irrigation
ditch by a detail of MeXcans.
Lieutenant Adair had already been
wounded and had lost his pistol in the
previous fighting, but he had borrow
ed another and was fighting a hand-to-
hand battle when he was killed. He
| fell backward, unconscious, and was
caught by the negro Sergeant as he
slid toward the ditch, which was deep
| ly filled with water The Sergeant
held Adair in his arms, his face above
the water until he died, the wounded
officer reviving only long enough to
whisper orders to leave him and finish
the mission.
Captain Morey said that Captain
Boyd warned the men before the fight
that they were advancing into the
greatest danger He reiterated that
the Carranzistas opened fire first from
their machine gun trench, and assert
ed that almost Immediately afterward
a detachment of the Mexicans circled
to the rear and drove off numbers of
the American horses, which a few men
had been left to hold, while the caval-
rymen dismounted in line of skirmish.
The size of the battlefield and the
cover from which the Mexicans fought
made it necessary for his troop and
that of Captain Boyd to separate and
fight what were practically individual
engagements, Captain Morey said.

"The latest indications throughout
the state, especially as reflected by the
state press, make it appear that our
well known and able senator T. B. Cat
ron, is forging ahead of his competit-
ors, Messrs. Hubbell and Andrews.
With the experience that Catron has
in matters of national Importance, and
particularly with those of our state, it
will not be bad to return him to the
legislative halls of the nation to look
after our interests.
at is the truth that Hubbell would
also be good man to represent us
in the national senate but at the same
time,we believe that he is some what
eccentric in political matters, and we
ought to consider this when we choose
one of our citizens for such an exalted
position as Senator of the United
States.
"While we haven't anything against
the gentleman from Bernalillo Coun-
: ty, at the same time we believe that
our state should be represented by a
