tude for ihe winter months. "Curlev'
has no, bad good health since being
mustered out OF the service and when

could not stand this high altitude.

identified here In a business way.

friends. and he felt he wanted 70

At the primary election In May the
members OF the republican narts
gave him the nomination for county
clerk. lie accepted this tribute
with appreciation, but owing 10 his
declining health and the urgent de-
mand by his doctor. that he take his
departure. he finds II necessary 10
withdraw from the race.
Mr.. and Mrs. Potter are making
arrangements TO take their departure
in a couple OF weeks but have not
made up their minds where they will
spend the winter. II In their inten
tion TO return here In the spring, n
fact to make this home 80 long as 4
is possible and the condition OF hi
health will permit.
Aside from the vacancy left OF
his ticket by this action there are
reasons to regret the necessity OF
"Curley" leaving this part OF the
country. He Is an agreeable boy and
one you can depend upon.
