Maxine LaPine Of Tim
Der Greek Passes Away

Special from Paris
Death winged its flight from ou1
immediate midst Sunday morning,
leaving cold and lifeless our good
friend and neighbor Maxine LaPine
of Timber creek. Mr.. LaPine had
suffered quite a bit of late with a
carbuncle on the back of his head
and some think it was the cause of
his death, while others say it was
heart failure.
Mr.. LaPine had eaten his break
fast and was preparing to go to
the barn to do his chores. His
wife handed him cup of warm tea
and he seated himself to drink it
and died almost instantly. Mrs La
Pine was alone at home and the
raging storm made it impossible
for her to get to any of the neigh
bors until late in the afternoon,
when the storm abated, and Mr..
and Mrs. Jens Kalberg, Mr.. and
Mrs. Skretting and Mrs. Victor La
Pine were summoned to the death
chamber. Victor LaPine, the only
child alive, was in Circle on bust
ness, and Maurice Willard was
sent in quest of him next day. A
daughter, Mrs. c. M. Spooner, died
a few years ago. The bereaved
ones have the sympathy of all in
their hour of sorrow.

publican members were at the meet

Mr.. Wesley moved to adjourn, but
Speaker Llewellyn refused to enter
tain the motion, stating that he had
promised to allow some Of the men,
bers to introduce bills. Mr.. Wesley
insisted on his motion, pointing OUT
that a motion to adjourn was always
In order, but Speaker Lnewellyn de-
clared he would resign before he
would adjourn the house prior to the
introduction of the bills In question.
The bills were then introduced. Be-
sides that for the new county, they

just how the poultice was to be ap-
piled. He said that a line drawn
through Santa Fe county and across
the state from east to west would
divide the counties that had remained
loyal to the Republican ticket in the
last campaign from those that had
failed to do their duty. AS a result Of
the internecine strife, he declared,
the Republican scepter had passed
from the north to the south, and that
the next convention would be control
led by the southern counties.
Secundino Romero, who failed to
reiterate that he "loved Mr.. Bursum,"
in substance said: III you want the
usual San Miguel majority give us
fair play and a square deal" All cir
cumstances considered, he said, ev,
erything possible vas done for the
ticket in San Miguel county in the
last campaign. MI. Romero protest
ed against a Republican legislature
creating Lea county or any other
Democratic county, on the ground that
it would result in an increased amount
of Democratic "pie", and consequent
ly in increased Democratic strength.
These remarks prompted Thomas
O'Brien, of Dawson, to suggest, after
Romero had concluded, that San Mig
uel county be divided into four u
ties so that there would be an abund-
ance of Republican "pie" there.
Eifego "Ferninst'
Elfego Baca's talk was an enliven-
ing feature Of the afternoon session.
He made it plain that he was FER
ninst' the perpetual office holders,
and said that as long as they at
tempted to hold On he would make all
the disturbance possible. He assert
ed also, that when he was critically
ill and couldn't find a remedy in a
Republican drug store, he was going
into the Democratic drug store,
rather than permit the case to term
mate fatally. He hoped, he said, that
in the list Of appointments made by
Governor Lindsey there would be
names of men who had not been hold
ing office all their lives.
