LOSE A FRIEND
N UNCLE PETE


With the death of "Uncle Pete"
Wehner in San Francisco last week
the children of Lordsburg lost a
friends who had in store for them
many treats. A week before his
death 'Uncle Pete" wrote the
Western Liberal that he would re-
turn here in a very short time and
to tell all the kids" that he was
bringing back a dozen more bicy-
cles for them. Several times when
the Liberal would be delayed in the
mails "Uncle Pete" would wire
this office enquiring as to the
cause.
Born in Albany, Ind, in 1S48,
Mr.. Wehner came west, settling at
Santa Fe, N. NJ, where he remain
ed until 1882, when he came to FL
Paso, which was his home up till
the time of his death.
In the early eos he organized an
Edison direct current plant in op-
position to the original plant es-
tablished in Ell Paso. He operat-
ed this plant for time and then
removed it to Roswell. Some time
after he sold his interest in the
plant as Roswell, he interested
himself with q. T, White in the or
ganization of the FL Paso Gas,
Electric Light and Power Com
pany, the beginning of the present
gas company. He remained in this
company for several years and then
disposed of his interest.
A tidy fortune was made by Mr..
Wehner as manager of the Com
missary department of the Mex
leo Central railroad when it was
built.
Later he came to this city, where
he shipped the dumps of the At
wood mine to great advantage at a
time when the smelters were in
need of silica. He acquired an
interest in the Superior mine and
realized a good sum on the pro.
perty when it was sold to the SE
Mining Company. He then bought
the jerry Boyle mine at tax sale
and operated it last year. This
however, was not successful, anC
he returned to Ell Paso, later goins
to San Francisco, where he receiv
ed expert medical attention. Al
times he revived, but his condition
became worse, until he was unabl,
to walk, and was taken to the Ger
man hospital, where he died. Hi,
body was shipped to FL Paso anC
inferred there.
