He survived until about noon the fol-

bier has found no reference showing
where Kemp lived and has no facts
about his ancestors or descendants,
but some time those facts will come
to him and will be marshaled in these
"rambles."
The Hooe family was a numerous
one at the time of the duel in 1908
and was connected with most Of the
land-holding families in the Potomac
and Rappahannock valleys. The
family had long been settled in Vir-
ginia, for Rhuys Hoo. or Rice Hooe
who was born in Wales. SON of
Thomas Lord Hoo. Baron of Hast

Rambler's authority for that is Dr.
Lyon Gardiner Tyler. president of
William and Mary College at Will
liam sburg. In Hotten's list of immi-
grants it is set down that Rice Hooe,
aged thirty-six. embarked for America
from the town of Gravesend June a3
1885. In 1887 he was granted a tract
of 700 acres in James City county. In
May, 1888. he obtained another grant
of 1.200 acres and in 1919 another
grant of 1900 acres. all patented to
him for bringing colonists to Vir-
ginia. All that seems to be recorded
about his wife is that her name was
Sarah. They had son named Rice

THREE MEN ACCUSED OF VERY
SERIOUS OFFENSES
Hamm, Haynes and Blake in Tolls
Accused OF Conccaling Stolen
Property, and Other OffcnSeS

Sheriff ID. T. Roberts placed f.. H..
Hamm, II. W. Haynes and Glen
Blake under arrest Saturday of last
week, charged with concealing stol-
en- property. Mr. Hamm was also
charged with assisting prisoners TO
escape. All three of the men were
taken before Judge Snyder who.
acting on the advice of the district
attorney placed their bonds at So
600 each, except Mr. Hamm, who was
forced to give o bond Of $4,000 be-
cause of the double charge The
bonds were promptly signed by
friends of the parties and the men
were permitted their liberty few
hours after the arrests were made.
The trouble all started about n
year ago when it was alleged by
parties from Denver that a car
stolen in that city had been traced
To Clayton where il was being con-
cealed. Also, on the 9th of January
of this year, five prisoners escaped
from the county nil. Two of these
men were later arrested in Wood
ward, Oklahoma, and were riding
| in an automobile belonging to T.. r
Hamm, who claimed That his car
had been stolen, and made a trip tC
| Woodward To- recover his property
Preliminary hearings in these
cases will be heard before Judge
Snyder on March >. District cour
will convene in Clayton on the fill
lowing Monday, and should the granC
Jury find indictments in these cases
it is very likely that they will bD
heard before Judge Leib during lhi
term of court.

rate fer state and county purposes
for 1920 is higher than for 1910,
showing the continuation Of the
steady increase in tax rates which
has been in progress for the last de-
cadc. The columns below show the
total of the state and county tax
rates per $1,000 of assessed valua-
ton for 1919 and 1920 They do not

Real Primary Law is Before the
Senate

Santa Fe, Feb 23.-While the son
ate has before it the Wright-Quin-
taua-Phillips excuse for not keep
ing the republican party pledge of
primary for county, district and
state conventions, Senator d. Il. b.
Sellers, democrat, of Bernalillo, has
placed before the senate a genuine
primary bill, statewide in scope
and honest in purpose.
The democratic bill follows the
democratic platform, conforms to
the expressed wishes of Governor
Mechem and accOrds with his cam
paign promises to the people of the
state. The democrats have now
placed before both senate and house
a statewide primary bill and will
try to "smoke out those republi-
cans who are seeking to defeat the
wishes of their governor.

C0e Howard, democrat of Roosc-
Welt county, attempted to save the
farmers of the state from paying
an excise tax of two cents a gallon
on gasoline used in pumping plants.
Howard declared that the gaso-
lfnc bill would uniustly tax $4,000
people on the east side who use
gasoline engines in raising their
crops and that it would cost them
100000 annually. The republicans
rode rough-shod over his protests
and, if the senate does the same,
the small farmer will be compelled
to bear additional tax burdens
