WOODMEN
REBS LOSE

The following article is clipped
from the Roswell, N. M. Even
ing News, June 10:
State Manager G. r. Mcdonald
received the following telegram
this morning from Sovereign Com
mander W. A. Fraser, head of the
w, o. W., at Omaha, Neb.;
supreme court of Texas has just
reversed and rendered the insur-
gent appeal in connection with
Il Texas Head Camp ballot con-
troversy. This means a complete
vi tory for the administration and
gives the administration favorable
judgment in every state where
contests have been carried into
court"
The case grew out of an election
held in Houston, Tex, for the cleo
ton of head camp officers. For
several days prior to the election
an organized band of insurgents,
drawn principally from Missouri
and other states, assembled at
Houston and seem determined to
carry the election their way. Dur
ing the election the ballot box was
stolen, at the instigation of the in
surgents, and for this reason the
election was contested.
The decision of the supreme
court of Texas means a complete
victory for Woodcraft.

half the sophs were leading their
rivals by l6 20 ~, but early in the
second period tho freshmen as
sumed n lead OF several points. Just
before tho close, volley OF goals
again put the sophOmores in the van
and they had a margin OF eight
points at the finish.

and performed capably II took a
real referee TO handle the game
satisfactorily TO both sides. as the
feeling was high and rivalry keen.

Hunts Mother After
rs Years Separation

ATLANTA, Ga.-The old paper
backed novel has passed. But some
OF those plots which called down
condemnation from the pulpit have
a counterpart in fact. Chief of Po-
lice Beavers received letter from
Mrs. Ethel Durham OF Cheyenne,
Wyo,, in which was told the story
of a fathers desertion of wife and
one child and the abduction OF an
other. Mrs. Durham Ia the stolen
child, and the letter states that not
until her fathers deathbed confess
sion as to the Whereabouts of her
mother did she know her mother
might be living. Her fathers name
was Miles Carlisle OF Atlanta, and
25 years ago he left here. Her
mothers maiden name was Mollie
Martin. The police chief has re-
quested anyone having any informa-
tion of the family to communicate
with him at once.
