stream of water and take care of the
wounds he had received in the engage
nent, and finally escaped from the
prison, and joined his regiment again
at Suffolk He was wounded the Sec
ond time, and taken prisoner. He was

ton. In July, 1865, he was honorably
discharged from the army, and in 1867,
he came to Delaware county, locating
in Manchester, where he found plenty
of work as a machinist and engineer.

that Jesus Romero, alias Jesus r.
Gomez, the seventeen-year-old youth
who murdered Joe1Donaldson, the dep
uty sheriff at Sonora, on the night of
March IA, was surprised when Judge
Baughn ordered that he be incar-
cerated in the state prison. Judge

nero is but seventeen years of age,

age to understand it's wrongfulness.
Accordingly, the order for court
trial was made Romero had previ-
ously in life served term in the re-

by the assembled citizens.
Ray was treated to lecture by Ser

lander, who has the distinction of be-
ing the father of four sons, all en-
listed in the fight for freedom. He
has been invalided home; has been
wounded three times, and has suf-

The Ray ceremonies were held on
the Ray Consolidated club grounds.
A squad in command of sergeant
from Co NJ, 35th U. S.. infantry, acted
as guard of honor. The Ray Con-
solidated Club band, was out in force.
Judge E. w. French, master of cere-
monies, made short but impressive
address regarding the birth of the
Stars and Stripes We have grown to
rely upon the Judge to speak to us on
vital subjects, and we have yet to re-
gret it. His flag-day speech was con-
ceded byith audience to be one of
the best he has ever delivered here. T.
The next speaker was Peter Cveano-
vich. Pete, Though of foreign birth,
and formerly drill; sergeant in the
Austrian army is an American, and
not only is he proud of It, but so is
every loyal American in Ray. He has
always, shown himself willing and
eager to further any and all work for
the successful progress of the war.
He confined his speech to those of
| his countrymen who were in the audi
ence, impressing them with the fact
| that they must prove their loyalty by
doing their every bit to help Uncle
Sam.
Sergeant. tRayner was the, next
! speaker Dressed in kits, with a
background of flashing lightning and
a threatening sky, the sergeant made
an impressive figure. He spoke of
his thirty years in Kentucky. where
all of his. boys had been born--of the
| pride he felt in being an American
of the. outbreak of the war, when he
and his four sons Immediately enlisted
and of his experiences in a Canadian
training camp, where he trained thou
sands of men-many from the United
States.
He spoke feelingly of the ideals of
his sons, and of the proudness that
he felt when he learned of his SON. s
death. He was proud of the fact that
he had died in the service o fhuman-

crime, Sheriff Henry Hall arrested
Petronillo Gonzales for the murder of
Ysmael Cordova at Superior He had
been in hiding most of the time in a
lonely mining camp of New Mexico.

now in the state penitentiary serving

IMPRESSIVE FLAG DAY CELEBRATION
TAKES PLACE At RAY AND SONORA

oughly The audience were given gas
mask demonstrations and, finally,
there was just a word said about
Thrift Stamps.
Thrift Stamp purchases, the ser
geant said, were just means Uncle
Sam had provided for us who are at
home. to do our bit. Every Thrift
/ Stamp is not only the nucleus of a
ufnd to provide a soldier with his
equipment, but it is also stepping
stone toward national thrift-a habit
we must cultivate, if this war is to be
won. 1t is. of course, necessary to
| remember that when we make a pur-
chase of w. S. S. or Thrift Stamps,
we are doing nothing more than lend
ing our money to- the strongest bank
in the world are not really giving
anything. When a w. S. S. pledge
solicitor pays his visit, If some of US
could only "get over" our habit of
Aacting as though we are doing him a
favor by giving our pledges to Uncle
Sam to support him to the finish, a
step toward the goal will have been
realized. In other words, we should
, not begrudge our dollars when our
boys are not begrudging their lives to
make our homes secure. Think it
| over
/ One important lesson in Sergeant
Rayner's address stands out vividly:
Don't allow the newspapers and mag
azines to fool you into believing that
the war is all but won. Nothing is
farther from the truth! The enemy
is strong and outnuhbers us on all
points. Those who would have us
believe that it is only matter of a
few months, little supplies, few
men, etc, are belittling the strength
of the enemy, and German propaganda
lists are only too glad of the chance
to spread such lies. Many man
may be prevented from doing his best
by reading articles in our press which
I all but make one believe that the war
is already won. It must be, clearly
understood that the war is far from
won, and tremendous sacrifices. are
necessary if we ARE to attain our ends.
i The sooner we realize this, the better
we will be equipped to do honor to
our flag. .s;,s
| Sergeant Rayner proved his conten-
tions with facts and figures. and
brought to light an entirely new angle
of the war. he stated, that. while it
is, no doubt, patriotism that prompts
Fus to view the war with optimistic
eyes, we must never lose sight of the
fact that the enemy is strong, very
strong-much stronger than some of
our press would have us believe.
Press reports have been too encour-
| aging, he said.
