The Kid is also wearing a top hat in the only undisputed photo known to exist that depicts the outlaw. That undisputed picture was taken in late 1879 or early 1880, probably outside Beaver Smith’s saloon at Fo...
On this date ... 1970: Eastern New Mexico University officials received 1,114 signatures of Clovis residents protesting the upcoming appearance of Dr. Benjamin Spock. Spock was a purported baby expert, but his political leanings — he opposed the U.S. draft and foreign policy — made him a lightning rod for critics. Clovis’ Mac Eichenberger presented the petitions, announcing “this is a peaceful form of protest,” the Clovis News-Journal reported. 1940: A Curry County deputy sheriff was in Clovis Memorial Hospital after suf...

How significant that will be for Vietnam veterans and their benefits is disputed.

Staff writer [email protected] Clovis city officials may be discussing a possible tax increase to help offset a $23 million cumulative loss the city faces by 2030, Mayor David Lansford said. That is, if Curry County officials don’t beat them to the punch — again, he added. The loss, Lansford said, is a result of the 2013 state legislators’ decision to no longer hold cities harmless for voting to remove taxes on food, medical procedures and prescription drugs. Clovis faces a $180,000 loss by June 2016, Lansford said,...
