Braidens Faithful Gather To Debate Loot In La Jara
In La Jara a small group labeled independentiaries gathered as W A Braiden failed to appear for a planned discourse on boodle. The meeting, reported by The Chronicle, produced no clear statements as attendees left quickly after a bail of hot air, with Pat Lopez serving as messenger and Braiden rumored confined by illness. Meanwhile land office plans and Rio Grande reservoir data show San Luis valley confidence and growing public land entries from 1907 to 1908.
