that.
"In 1886, R. NJ. Moore, was elected
president, VIM. Withers and H. S.
Holly presidents; G. M. Cameron
secretary; and P. G. Scott, treasurer.
Judge Moore remained in the presi-
dents chair until his death in the fall
of 1894 and was succeeded in the pre-
sidency by his son, Bent Moore; James
j. Johnston was elected president in
1896; Major w. A. Towers in 1897,
who remained in that office until 1904,
when he was succeeded by NJ. H.
Murray, who, in turn, in 1909 was sue
ceeded by James Cushny, the presi-
dent at this time. Senator A. N. Par
rish of Lamar became one of the vice
presidents in 1901 and has been in
that position for the past Is years,
being still one of the most active men
in the organization. Marsena j. Nc
Millen, secretary, was elected vice
president in 1899 and in 1900 was Sc
lected as secretary, which position he
still retains-the most efficient and
well posted man that has ever held
that position.
"P. C. Scott, with his 35 years of
service as treasurer and As years as a
member, is the veteran of the organ
ization. He has given much time and
thought to its success and has ever
been a tower of strength in its coun-
ellis. The president, James Cushny, is
retaining his position year after year
by virtue of knowledge of the stock
business-and especially western con-
ditions-that is held by but few men
at this time and the association is in
deed fortunate to have such cap
able executive"

GETTING CLOSE
Lot Holders in Cotton County Oil and
Gas Co. Getting Good News.

The lot holders Of the Cotton Coun-
ty Oil & Gas Co. in Lamar are feeling
more like real oil magnates with each
new batch of news that comes from
either the Burkburnett or Walters
fields. The big wells are gradually
getting nearer and nearer to their
holdings and it looks as If they could
not miss it in either field. The lat
est well in the Walters field is on the
lands Immediately adjoining the tract
they have plated and sold to the peo-
pie here. 1t is 500 barrel well and
is causing a big boom in all lands near
it.
The company has equally good loca-
tions in the Burkburnett field with
wells on adjoining properties and it
looks impossible for them to miss it
both places. .A.

Ford Fixers Ball.

The biggest and most popular social
affair of the season for several years
in Lamar has been the dance given by
the young men of Sundays Garage,
who style themselves the Ford Fixers

crowd was large, the decorations
beautiful. the music delightful, and
every detail for the amusement and
entertainment of their guests careful

Stockmen Meet.

The Bent and Prowers County Cat
tie and Horse Growers Association
held its delayed annual meeting at the
court house in Las Animas on Monday
morning and there was good attend
ance from all parts Of the district.
The old officers were reelected unan-
imously.
The following interesting items re-
lating to the past history Of the as
sociation are taken from the Las Ami
mas Leader:
"The fact that this was the 5Oth an
niversary of the founding Of this as
sociation, brings memories of the days
that marked the beginning Of develop
ment in this western country and the
history of this association and the men
connected with it as officers and as
members, furnishes the romance of
the west. The beginning Of this as
sociation marked a milestone in the
development of "law and order" in
the then wild frontier Of new coun-
try. It was first formed by stockmen
for mutual protection of the property
Of its members and as aid to the
inadequate police powers of that
early date.
THE men who were responsible for
its forming were the men that stood
for things in the community, for its
development and for the right Of
everyone to the pursuit of his avoca-
tion without interference by the law
less element that infested the country.
So on March 18, 1870, in Las Animas
the old town four miles east oppo-
site Fort Lyon-the association held
its first meeting and selected as its
officers: Stephens P. Jones, presi-
dent; John w. Prowers, vice-presi-
dent; Mark B. Price, treasurer; and
X. NJ. Moore as secretary. Aside from
the act Of forming, the association did
not accomplish much the first few
years. But the stealing of cattle had
become so prevalent and the power
Of the law so inadequate to stamp ii
out that another meeting was held in
a room above Prowers & Hough's
store in Las Animas in February, 1874
attended by stockmen from Colorado
Kansas and New Mexico. After sew
eral days discussion during which
"viligante" methods were openly
espoused, calmer judgment prevailed
and the association became ''livt
wire" with Jno. w. Prowers, presi
dent; H. S. Holly and ]. C. Jones vic,
president; NJ. B. Price, treasurer; ant
r. NJ. Moore, secretary, officers wh'
held until 1882, without change.

Luke Cahill was elected president il
1884 with ]. N. Beatty and w. A
Towers as vice-presidents; r. NJ
Moore as secretary; and P. G. Scot
as treasurer-Mr. Scott still retain
ing that position after IS years of ser
vice.
"Up until 1884, despite the hardes
of work, the association was unable
to get convictions for cattle stealth,
in the courts; but finally in that yea
eight "rustlers" were convicted ant
