MANY GO TO SANTA ROSA

Seven autos from this city carried
many passengers to Santa Rosa last
Saturday evening for the big dance
given by the Ilfeld Company in honor
of the opening of their fine new build
ing. Among those going down were
Messrs. and Mesdames II. b. Jones, W.
A. Randle, Freeman Allen, Fred Braun
NJ. =. James, Jas. Conwell and num-
ber whose names we did not learn.
Most all report pleasant time and
highly enjoyed especially so far as the
dance, etc were concerned.
One of the ladies lost u dress dur
ing the trip. She, with her husband,
went to hotel and changed clothes
for the dance, leaving their clothes
in their room. While they were at
the dance a Mexican entered the room
and took the gentleman's sweater and
the lady's dress, together with other
wearing apparel. The next day he
was found wearing the sweater and
promptly arrested. He plead not gull
ty, but it was leayned that he had of.
fered the dress for sale. He was to
be given preliminary hearing the
next day but his penalty has not been
communicated to parties here.

AN UNLUCKY SHOT PROVED
TO BE A LUCKY SHOT

Allen e. Dealy's store was the scene
of considerable excitement Tuesday
morning, when gun was accidentally
discharged and the front plate glass
was pierced by the shot making hole
about six inches in diameter, the glass
or particles of it being carried across
the street.
They had traded for the gun the
day previous and Mr.. Dealy did not
know it was loaded. He was attempt
ing to "break" it in order to examine
it, when by some unknown means il
was discharged. Three men were pass
ing the store going east, another was
going west, while many others were
standing on the street not far away.
The glass and shot struck one of the
men on the overcoat collar and for n
time it was thought he was injured,
but not particle Of blood was drawn,
and what was at first an unlucky shot
terminated in being quite lucky for
those who might have been killed or
badly injured by being just one sec
ond later in passing the store. Mr..
Dealy was perhaps the worst injured
of any. because his mind was filled
with what it might have been and no
person could help being frightened in
a circumstance like that.

BIG MASON SPEAKS
TO LARGE CROWDS
At N. {. CHURCH

W. G.. Mason. the railroad y NJ. G.
A. evangelist, who has been on the
border working among the soldiers
for the last three months, arrived in
Tucumcari the 18th inst and began
'evangelstc services for the railroad
men. Mr.. Mason has been connected
with Railroad Y NJ. c. A. work for
years and knows every brakey and
conductor on all the main lines of the
United States.
His messages are always brought
in Il man to man fashion and his ideas
for clean living and square deal are
reasonable and effective.
Services are held every evening at
1880 at the Methodist church and shop
meetings are held at 1900 in the
railroad shops. Large crowds of men
have heard him each day at the noon
hour. The ladies of the town have
furnished free lunch at that hour. AL
! though Big Mason has been all over
the United States he states that never
before has he seen such hearty CO.
operation on the part Of the ladies'.
A meeting for men only will be held
at the Masonic Opera House at 300
Sunday afternoon. Big Mason's SUBJ
iect for that meeting will be king or
Slave-Which ?"
All of the enthusiasm and earnest
ness shown during this week will go
farther TO demonstrate the need of
Y. NJ. c. A. in Tucumcari. In a rail-
road town of this size never before
has Mr.. Mason been unable to have
an association building to speak in.
The Y. NJ. c. a. building movement is
still alive and in course of time we
will obtain the building.
The Chamber of Commerce has been
delayed in this matter by the reor-
ganization of Il c. K. |. & p. rail-
road.

GOVERNOR T. c. De BACA DIES
AFTER LONG |LLNESS--L|NDSEY
IS THE NEW STATE EXECUTIVE

force the nomination Of de Baca un-
der threat that those in the combi-
nation would walk out of the conven-
ton if he were not named for gov
CrnOr.
Democratic leaders recognized the
political strength Of Mr.. de Baca but
were reluctant to aid in his nomina-
ton on account of his i'll health. The
appearance in Santa Fc of the then
Lieutenant governor at a critical stage
in the convention proceedings, how
c.cr, and his announcement that he
felt physically able to make the race
,ilcnced all opposition, and II memoir
able night session marked by wild en-
thusiasm dc Bacu was nominated by
an overwhelming majority, the nomi-
nation subsequently being made unan-
imUus on motion of Senator Isaac
Barth, rival candidate for the nomi-
nation.
The campaign that followed is too
recent to receive comment now. In
spite of the fact that his physical con-
dition would not permit Of his making
vigorous campaign and his inability
to make more than few speeches at
long intervals, Governor de Baca's
stainless record in public and private
life and his popularity with all classes
Of citizens resulted in his triumphant
election over one Of the strongest re-
puhlicnns in New McNico.
Immediately after the election it
was recognized that the newly elected
governor must Immediately place him
self under the care Of expert medical
advisors if ne was to live 10 he inaug-
urated; for it was seen that he was
suffering from pcrnicious anemia, the
dread malady that took the life of

Pope and the celebrated Incz Milhol-
/ land Boisscvain.

FARM AND CATTLE BY TEXAN

One of the largest, if not the iarg-
est land deals ever pulled off in this
county was consumated Monday be~
tween j. r. Hammans of this county
and Clyde \. Mcfarland, of Kress,
Texas, when Mr.. Mcfarland bought
800 acres of patented land. lease
on 1880 acres, and 25O head of cattle
and other articles of value. He paid
Mr.. Hammans Si5,OO0.OO for the same
and will move to our county and per-
mancntly reside.
Mir. Mcfarland is an old.time friend
Of Lee Hamilton and il was through
Mr.. Hamilton the deal was made. The
farm lies nine miles southwest Of Tu-
cumcari TO the west Of the Quay road
and t. said to be good piece Of land
for the money. \ brother Of Mr.. Nc
Farland may come here and take full
charge of this ranch and let Clyde re-
turn 10 Texas where he owns other
large tracts of land.
These kind of men are what this
county needs especially in parts of i,
where the stock business is the most
important.

Santa Fc. Feb. lS.--Goycrnor dc
Baca is dead The end came Sunday
afternoon in hi room at ST. Ninccnta
sanitarluln Present beside his bed
at the time were Mrs. de Baca, Dr. j..
A. Massic. Miss Clara Olson, his prl-
vate secretary. ELMER T.. Needcr, his
legal adviser; Miss Johnson, his nurse;
Archbishop !. l.. pitayal and two Sis
ters OF Charity.
While it had been known for weeks
that death wa. a matter of only Il few
short days, the end came with tragic
suddenne.s. Sunday week ago IN thc
afternoon the governor had been Civ
en- "A TRANSMISSION of blood, one of many
that had been administered to him
since he went to California for treat
ment Immediately after his election
as governor. 4 sinking spell follow
ed and for time his friends were very
greatly alarmed for fear he would not
recover.
BY Tuesday morning, however, Gov
ernor de liaca was so much better that
he was able to transact official uusl-
ness. and several official communlca-
tions were signed 10y him during the
week and transmitted to one or the
other of the two houses Of the legisla-
ture. Sunday he was 50 far improved
that although it was Sunday he de
cidcd to give directions for the trans
action of some official business, and
sent for Mis- Olson, his private sccre-
tary, for that purpose.
Miss Olson arrived II, the Sanitar-
ium about 2:3O o'clock and went dl-
rectiy to Governor de Baca's room.
Shortly after her arrival she and Miss
johnson, the nurse, noticed that the
governors respiration was iabored
and threw open the windows of the
room in the hope that he would re-
vive. He did not get better, however,
and hurried telephone calls were dis
patched for DR.. Mussic, Mrs. dc Baca
and Archbishop Pitayal while Mr..
Veeder. who lives in the sanitarlum,
was hastily summoned from his room.
DR.. Massic was the first to arrive,
and saw at glance that the governor
was dying. \ few moments later Mr.
de Baca reached the .anitarium. The
goveTECr, conscious To the cnu, rec
ognized her and spoke aircc.ionltcly
to her. Archbishop Pitayal reached
the deathbcd just before the end. EN-
treme JUNCTION had been administered
to Governor de haca by the prclatc
several day ago when the en-! seemed
near.
1t is part Of the unrocordcd political
history or the state that glvcs small
credit TO the sordid politicians rcspon
sible for it that Governor dc Bacas
nomination last summer was brouEh
about la gcly through the instrumcn
tality of political cnemies who knew
him to be II seriously stricken man ant
believed that on account Of his phys
ical weakness he would moi be able e
make II successful campaign. After
the democratic convention in Santa +,
last August, republicans Of his owl
race boastcd that they had conspirc,
to bring about ~ Spani-h-America'
coalition in the convention that woult
