MILITARY COMPANY
ORGANIZED.
Members Enrolled, Ofueeni Elected,
and the Jieir Organization (JWen
Urand Send-ofT.
The large court room in the
court house was well filled Mon
day evening at the hour appoint
ed for the organization of a mili
tary company for Socorro. By
way of introduction to the formal
proceedings, enthusiastic addres
ses were delivered by Mayor M.
Cooney, Capt. T. J. Matthews,
Julian Trujillo, Prof. O. R.
Smith, and Jesus Gallegos. San
Miguel band furnished some of
their best music for the occasion.
There was no backwardness on
part of the young men of the
city to enroll as members of the
company. The required number
of forty-four was very soon sup
plied. The election of officers
resulted as follows: Captain, T.
J. Matthews; first lieutenant,
Seferino Abeyta; second lieuten
ant, W. M. Swisher; first
sergeant, O. R. Smith; field mu
sician, Henry Chavez. Drill was
then indulged in for two hours
in the school of the squad and
company. The Adjutant Gen
eral is expected to visit the com
pany next week to make final ar
rangement for its equipment
with uniforms, guns, ammuni
tion, &c. The company will
thus become a part of the nation
al guard.
The organization of this mili
tary company will add an at
tractive and picturesque feature
to the life of Socorro. Nor is
that all, for under the command
of Capt. Matthews, who is thor
oughly competent in sm.b mat
ters, the company is expected to
become one of the crack compa
nies of the territory. Under
such circumstances the company
will not fail to receive whatever
support it may need from - the
business men of the city.
Andy Wickham Injured.
Word was received in this city
a few days ago that Andy Wick
ham had been injured in a mine
in Mexico where he has been em
ployed for several months. The
report of the accident is to the
effect that Andy and two other
miners had been down in the
mine taking some measurements
and were standing on a scaffold
ready to come out when the scaf
fold suddenly gave way letting
all three fall thirty feet. One
man was so seriously injured in
ternally that , he will probably
die, another had an arm broken
in two places, and Andy came off
with a leg broken between the
knee and ankle. Andy was al
ways very popular in Socorro and
many expressions of sympathy
are heard for him. At last re
port he was doing well.
Sunday's Ball Game.
The lovers of the national
game who witnessed Sunday's
performance had a rare treat.
The local teams again met on
the diamond, each bedecked in
their new uniforms, and the play
ing during several innings would
have done credit to professionals.
At the beginning of the game
the Americans took a long lead
and it seemed that they would
win easily, but the Mexicans
soon got their second wind and
began to play ball in a style that
gradually tied the score and fin
ally, brought them off victors by
a score of 14 to 10. Tomorrow's
game is sure to be a rattling
good one, for the Americans will
make a desperate effort to recov
er their lost laurals and the Mex
icans will try equally hard to
hold the laurals they have won.

council Monday evening salaries

posed of his interest and good

are well known in Socorro and
vicinity and will doubtless have
no difficulty in pleasing their
customers.

the best in the county, needing
only proper development to in
sure good returns. It is under
stood that Mr. Borden has re
signed his position as manager
and will in a few weeks o to

The opinion of Mr. C. T.
Brown, of Socorro, New Mexico,
concerning the principles of the
International Miners' Associa
tion, is entitled to much weight
in view of his experiece both as
a mining and business man. In
his letter of acceptance of a
place on the board of directors of
the organization, he says: "The
principles upon which the asso
ciation is organized are of vital
importance to the mining indus
try of the southwest, the future
of the southwest depending more
upon the development of its min
eral resources than upon all oth
ers combined. El Paso Indus
trial Advocate.

ally opened to the public, Satur

hearty welcome and courteous
treatment.
