Last Sad Rites
of Wm. C. Roy
Held Monday Morning at 10
o'clock from the home of
F. A. Roy
The last sad rites have been
performed, and all that remains
of the earthly temple of pur hon
ored citizen now lies in the little
cemetery adjoining the town in
which the best years of his life
have been spent.
The last tribute to the memory
of this man an impressive dis
play of the sentiment and regard
in which he was held by his
friends, was the funeral cortege
which escorted the dead to is
last resting place. Young and
old, rich and poor, were hi that
tad procession, and upon all
alike rested the feeling of loss
unredeemable.
Yet still remains to those
whose memory does not fail, the
object lessons and inspirations of
this man '8 life amongst us.
Slowly, slowly, to the soft
chant of the priest, the bearers
moved onward upon that last
journey, which we all must
travel, until the the temple of
sacred worship was reached.
Here, in the House of God,
which the deceased was Instru
mental in building, the Father
Antonio Cellier paid in simple,
impressive languago, a touching
tribute to the departed. With
sincere, direct words the priest
entreated his hearers to remem
ber the great truth that life for
itself is vanity that fho "greater
purpose of our existence here on
earth is not for the enjoyment of
wordly pleasures, but for tli
preparation of our souls to meet
our God. He dwelt upon the
Irailities and imperfections of
earthly life, its uncertainty and
insufficiency, and pointed upward
and above it all to that l'.fe bsyond
that is full and complete and un
ending,
The sounds of those grand old
hymns, "Lend Kindlv Light" and
"Nearer My God to Tliee" sung
at intervals by the choir, must
surely have soothed the suffering
hearts of those who held him
near and dear and strengthened
the conviction of another world--that
place of Holy rest, and peace
at tlia last.
After the beautif nl and impres
sive ceremony of High Kcquiem
Mass for the repose of the de
parted soul, the remains were
tnlien to the Catholic Cemetery
. and resigned to the earth.
And if there be an inscription
placed over his grave, let it be
this, his favorite sentiment dur
ing his courageous life "The
Lord will not look you over for
Medals but for SCABS."
The following gentlemen were
the pall bearers.

The following is extracted
from last week's Wagon Mound
Pantagrath.
The fight being made by Wagon
Mound for the County seat is be
ginning to show "who's- who".
The people of Wagon Mound and
vicinity believe they would have a
true friend in their fight, when
they rallied to the support of Mr.
Bias Sanchez, and really elected
him to the Legislature. But from
reports received from Santa Fe, it
seems that our friend (?) is show
ing the "white feather" and
Wagon Mound will have to await a
time with patience to be revenged
An indignation meeting of the ci
tizens of Wagon Mound was held
Saturday night, and the following
resolution was adopted unanimous
ly and the resolution sent to San
chez.
To Hon. Bias Sanchez,
Representative, Santa Fe, K. M.
Whereas, the undersigntd citi
zens of Mora County have banded
themselves together as a committe
to work for the establishment of a
county seat at this place, and for
other purposes, and
Whereas, the Hon. Bias Sanch
ez a citizen of our town is now a
member of the House of Represen
tatives of the 1st. New Mexico
Legislature, elected from this
County and representative of this
district, and
Whereas, the Hon. Bias San
chez pledged himself, both before
receiving the nomination of the
Republican Party for such posit
ion and before receiving tfié heart
ty support of this community, to
do all in his power in such position
to secure a county seat for Wagon
Mound and
Whereas, a Bill for the creation
of anew conty tobe called Aguilar
with the seat thereof at-Wagon
Mound, has been prepared by
members of this committee and
sent to Santa Fc, and
Whereas, this committee is ad
vised by its representative in
Santa Fe that its bill has a good
chance to pass the House of Rep
resentatives itiumediately intro
duced, and
Whereas, wo believe we have
tho right to ask and expect Mr.
Sanchez to introduce and work
for this or any other, bill in the
legislature that wi'l, if passed,
accomplish a great good for our
County and Wagon Mound.
Now, therefore, be it resolved
that tho Hon. BlasSanchszbe and
hereby is requested to either in
troduce bill for the creation of
Aguilar and Cornado Counties,
now in the hands of R. LOPEZ,
or to concur in the introduction
tereof by Mr. LOPEZ, and
Be it further resolved, that it is
(he sense of this community and
of this committee that said billas
prepared should be introduced at
once
The above resolution was signed
by 21 of Wagon Mound's citizens,
and sent to Sanchez at Santa Fe.
But even this resolution, nr the
knowledge of his former promise,
seemed to have any effe-jt oa San
chez. He has seemed to ignore
the question, and the bill creuting
CORONADO COUNTY with the
County seat at Hoy was introduced
by Mr. Lopez, and Mr. Sanchez
satisfied himself by introducing a
bill entitled "An net to create the
Coronado State Industrial School
an Wagon Mound".
Our Special Representative,
Mr. J. Rafael Aguilar, in whom
every one has the utmost conli
dencc, Is on the ground at Santa
Fe and has been there since Sun
day last; he will report the exact
status of affairs relative to the
'county seat fight.
Mora, N. M., May 5. Satur
day night the postoflice at Ocote,
Mora County, was robbed, the
robbers securing between $40
and $50 in money and stamps.
The store in which the postoflice
is located was also robbed of $10
and a number of articles.
One report is that there is no
clue as to who the robbers are,
while another is that certain
parties are suspected and that
arrests may follow soon.
All parties owing the Tyler
Estate will please advise the under
signed as to the correctness of
indebtedness. Any parties hold
ing receipts from B. G. Tyler will
please present same. I understand
some accounts have been paid, al
tho appearing on the books as un
paid, and no accounting made by
B. G. Tyler.
