Memorial and Resolution of Respect.
Alexandria, La, May, "a, 1915.
To the Honorable Judges, and the Mem.
6ers of the Alexandria Bar:
We, your committee, appoint
ed to draft a suitable memorial
and resolutions relative to the
death of our brother, w. C. Rob-
erts, beg to report as follows:
William Cullen Roberts was
born in Choctaw County, Alaba-
ma, October 5. 1861; attended
and was graduated from Cooper's
Institute, Lauderdale County,
Mississippi, when he was about
twenty-one years old. His pa
rents, Captain j. C. Roberts and
Louise Nelson Roberts, removed
from Butler, Alabama, to Meri-
dian, Mississippi, about the year
1868. where Mr.. Roberts was a
member of the bar until his re-
moval to WINFIELD. Mr.. Rob-
erts formed a partnership with
Mr.. R. E. Milling. and practiced
under the firm name of Roberts
& Milling until his death.
Mr.. W. C. Roberts, the subject
of this memorial, studied law un-
der his father, and was admitted
to the bar in Mississippi before
his removal to Louisiana. He
was shortly afterwards admitted
to the bar in Louisiana; and be-
gan practice in the office of Mr..
Robert P. Hunter in Alexandria,
about the year 1886.
He soon moved to Colfax and
entered upon the practice there
and in 1903 formed a part
nership with his brother j. B.
Roberts. with whom he practic-
ed, the name of the firm being
w. c. & j. B. Roberts, until his
death. He lived for many years
at Colfax, but removed to and
made his home in Alexandra
turing the year 1893; the firm.
having two offices-one in Colfax
presided over by Mr.. j. B. Rob-
erts; the other in Alexandria, in
charge of Mr.. w. C. Roberts.
In the year 1899 he was hap
PLY married to Miss Sallie Ran
dolph of Fairmount, La, who
survives him, by whom he had
four children: Mary Roberts,
William Cullen Roberts, Jr., Lou |
Use Roberts and Alice Roberts
all of whom are living.
He was in i'll health for several |
years, and retired from active
practice. though he still kept up
his connection with his firm un-
til his death, which occurred at
his home in Alexandria. Rapides
parish, Louisiana. on the 10th
day of March, A. D. 1915.
Mr.. Roberts was a fine lawyer,
cool, calm, courageous and per-
sistent. He had well trained
mind, a large store of general
and of legal education, and prac-
ticed every precept known to the
ethic of his profession.
His practice was large and his
irm stood very high in the esti-
nation both of lawyers and lay
men, all over the State of Louis
ana. K
His relations with bench and !
'ar were courteous and pleasant :
md his devotion to the interests d
# his clients was answering. O
He was a good husband, a o
ind father and his home life 4
vas very beautiful.
He was a consistent member :,
# and a high official in the Meth =
dist Episcopal Church, South; 9
nd was a charming companion I
nd a devoted friend. I

To THE MEEKER HERALD,
MEEKEK, COLORADO.
In pursuance of my official duty,
l have appointed a district attor-
ney to fill the vacancy Occasioned
by the death of our mutual friend,
James G. Gentry, and in the perform-
ance of this duty I deem it only
proper to make known to all candi-
dates for the position, rs we'll rs to

prompted me in making this selec-
tion.
/ wish to assure every candidate
that have earnestly and carefully
considered his application from every
view point, together with the various
reasons given by friends; and, In
making this selection, / could not
help feeling it was also my duty TO-
consider very recent expressions in
the lifetime of Mr.. Gentry indicating
his ideas and wishes who should fill
out his unexpired term, all other
things being equal, and giving heed
thereto even more than though this
vacancy had occurred under condi-
tions where Mr.. Gentry would yet be
living and able to speak for himself,
feeling that in SO doing it would be
final and deserving tribute to one
who had the unlimited confidence Of
the people by reason of long and
splendid record as a public officer.
Being possed of an accurate knOwl-
edge OF Mr.. Gentry's ideas and judg-
ment l entirely concur, and without
losing sight for one single instant of
my duty to fully protect the welfare
of the people in making II selection, l
have appointed Mr.. Frank Delaney,
of Meeker, Rio Blanco County, Colo
RADIO, as District Attorney Of the
Ninth Judicial District to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of the
Hon. James G. Gentry and for the
unexpired portion of said term, an
appointment which sincerely hope

proval of the people of the district.

A CARD FROM c. p. HARTMAN.
Advertisements A \

To the voters of Tazewell county:
1t has been my intention to see ev-
cry voter in Tazewell county, and ask
his consideration of my candidacy for
Sheriff. If l have failed to see you
in person, this letter brings to you my
appeal for your support and influence.
On the eve of election, | desire to
go on record as opposed to life-tenure
IN office, and guarantee, if elected,
that | will take the office with this
aim in view. There are scores of
good men in Tazewell capable of fill
ing the office of Sheriff. 1t is my wish,
should l be elected, to establish a
precedent for rotation in this office
in the future.
In West Virginia, and many other
States, the law prohibits second
term in the office of Sheriff. For
many reasons that will appeal to you,
it is good law.
The present Sheriff has held the
office for twelve years. His deputies
have held it for about twenty-five
years. They want it again. Elect
them this time and they will want
to succeed themselves. Is it your wish
to perpetuate a system that will for
ever debar you, and your son after
you, from Office? Think about this.
My last word with you is this: If il
is my good fortune to be elected Sher-
iff, you have my earnest and solemn
promise that the State prohibition
laws will be enforced in this county
to the letter.

SWORN STATEMENT OF CLERK


NhuNtI NlscIltIl.D
Virginin, IaZewcll County, to-wit:
G. w. Grccver, Clerk of razewel
County, beng hrst duly sworn, de-
poses as follows:
| have been shown a resolution of
Pounding Mill Lodge, No. 800, and IA
circular letter from G.. +. Duncan
accompanying same, in regard to pro-
fessional services rendered by MIR.
Royal as an attorney. These papers
charge him with having examined
the title to the Lodge property nj
Pounding Mill and that the lodge paid
him therefor $d2.90; and iurther
charges him with having later rep
represented Mr.. Altizcr, who latcl
bought adjoining property, in land
suit, the object OF which was to take
away the same land from the lodge.
The records of my Office show as Iol-
lows:
(Q) That the lodge bought this
property on the 2;3rd of March, 1909,
ana on the lst day of November, 1910,
nearly twenty months later, Mr.. Roy
all represented the lodge in II friend
ly SUIT to confirm sale Of onc-half
OF the property To II member of the
lodge, and the Judge allowed him II
Zee of $1,000, the lee and all other
costs amounting to $42.S5. In this
friendly proceeding Mr.. Royal did
not examine the Jitle, and the rec
ords show that the decd to the lodge
had been made twenty months before
that time.
(2). About three years ago Mr.. j.
II. Aitizer bought the adjoining lot
to the lot belonging to the lodge,
and the papers OF the lodge and the
papers oil Mr.. Altizer Tapped on each
other and covered about twenty feet
of land claimed by both parties. The
suit against Altizer for his disputed
strip of land, and the litigation was
compromised at the last term of the
court on basis submitted by the
Lodge. The lodge holds one-half of
the disputed strip of land and Mr..
Alti2er holds the one-half Of the dis
puted land, and Mr.. Altizer pays two
thirds of the taxed costs of said suit.
My record shows that Mr.. Royal
did not represent either of the par
ties in litigation, and had nothing TO
do with it IN any way.
(3.) | also desire to state that the
moral character as well as his pro-
fessional career as Il lawyer is above
reproach, and that in this respect no
practitioner at the TaZewell bar stands
higher than Mr.. Royal. The records
of my Office show that the facts charg-
ed against Mr.. Royal in the above
resolution are not true and am glad
to have an opportunity of certify
ing tpsthe true facts within my own
perconal knowledge and as shown by
| the records of my office.
Given under my hand this 2Gth day
of October, 1915.
