THE HAILSToRM

AS was reported in last weeks S-A,
one OF the worst hail storms that ever
visited this mesa passed across It
about 8 miles east Of Roy and play
ed havoc with the unharvested crops
last Thursday evening. AS far as we
can learn, the storm started northeast
Of Gladstone and about 35 miles
northeast Of Roy and cleaned up a
strip about to 4 miles wide for a
distance of nearly as miles wearing
itself away about 10 miles southeast
of Roy. While the amount of dam
age will probably not amount to as
much as the large hail storm of last
July, yet the loss will probably reach
$175,O0O to $225,O0O. Beans by the
thousands Of acres were literally
beaten into the ground and the corn
which was just in good roasting ear
is pounded and bruised until it will
produce only a small portion of the
original crop and then of only a very
poor quality. The forage crops are
damaged until they will make very
little feed and inasmuch as the leaves
are all beaten off it will scarcely be
worth harvesting. The grass and pas
lures are beaten into the ground un-
til they will be of little value for win
ter grazing. Quite large number of
houses had from one to 20 windows
broken and the roofs of many build
ings were ruined. At the H. w. Da-
Wis place northeast of Roy the
shingles were broken off at the caves.
and at J. w. Johnson's place the iron
roof ON his barn has a number of
punctures through the roof. The hail
wasya foot deep over practically the
wRofeTOute and hail as large as hen
eggs were very common. Mr.. j. E.
Busey reports hail piled up three feet
deep near the H. T. crossing where
it had washed into a swag, The rain
following the hail was equal to a
cloudburst and washed the ruined
crops into the dirt. Among those
who have lost all their late crops
near Roy, were the Wright Bros, T.
N. Ogden, George Lucas, NJ NJ. Far
ris Art Farris, j. W. johnson, Ralph
Hewlett, K. W. Boulware and sons,
A. S. Hoskins, c. R. Hoskins, Henry
Campbell and dozens of others. The
peculiarity of the storm was that it
took strip about three miles east of
the big storm last July and practical
ly the same direction throughout.
Several Of those who lost their crops
were insured, which will help them to
purchase feed for the winter as there
is still an abundance Of feed on the
mesa.

Vice Commander, Fred Saints
tevan of Taos, Junior Vice-Com-
mander and Tom Trammel of
Roswell, Department Ad!ustant.
They are all capable and efficient
men who are interested in max
ing the Legion a success and one
hundred per cent American
Particularly so the Department
Commander who was elected un-
amously. The fourth district
comprising the counties Of San
Miguel, Mora and Guadalupe is
represented on the State EXecu-
tive Committee by A. N. Hanson
of the Roy Post, who, it is need
less to say, is one of those most
responsible for the organization
and the making of the success
of the Roy Post. w. L. Russell
was elected a delegate to the
National Convention. Homer
Holmes and Ray Carr were the
delegates elected to the state
convention, w. L. Russell serving
for Mr.. Carr as an alternate.
Silver City will have the con-
vention in 1921, and it is hoped
that the local post will acquire a
membership emitting them to an
additional representation, as it
is to the best interests of the en-
tire community to have Legion
Post that is active and progress
sive.

CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE
ORGANIZED
Officers elected; Plans will
be outlined at next meeting.
NEXT MEETING MONDAY
SEPTEMBER 18Th
Good Roads will likely be
first move of the organization

Recognizing the long felt need
of a commercial organization in
the community, a number of the
leading business men and citizens
met at the Office of the Spanish
American last Wednesday night
and organized the Chamber of
Commerce of Roy.
Membership will not be limit
ed to those residing within the
corporate limits of the town but
will be open to the community at
large, as it is the purpose of the
organization to further the inter-
ests of the mesa in general. In
fact, 1t is desired that the farm
ers get behind this movement
and give it their support as the
business interests of the town
and the surrounding country are
mutually dependent upon each
other.
AS organized the Chamber Of
Commerce will have a President
Vice-President, Secretary and
Treasurer together with five di-
rectors, the officers to he eX-oficio
members Of the board of direc-
tors. 1t was decided that at
least two of the five directors
should be chosen from residents
without the corporate limits Of
the town. The following were
elected: President, F. S. Brown
Vice-President, M. D. Gibbs
Secratary, w. L. Russell, Trea-
surer, Henry Krabbenschmidt
Directors: R. E. Alldredge
S. E. Paxton, M. N. Baker, R.
w. Boulware and A. N. Hanson.
No plans were gone into in de-
tail although it seemed the opin-
ion of all those present that the
matter of good roads is one that
should be takened up immediate
ly and acted upon. The advis-
ability of having a permanent
paid secretary to give all of his
time to the work was, also, dis
cussed and seemed to meet with
favor.
The next meeting will be held
Monday September 14th, at 7:3O
P. NJ, at the office of the Spanish
American. All who are inter-
ested are inyited to be present.

ST. GEORGE SCHOOL OPENED
MONDAY MORNING

St. George school opened on sched-
ule time Monday morning, Septem-
Der 9th, with a splendid enrolment
for the first day, namely thirty-two
pupils, and some twenty or more
registered for entrance in the next
few days.
We are told that the recent heavy
rains have made some of the roads
quite impossible, making it utterly
impossible for a number of pupils,
who had expected to be first in at
tendance, to get into the village at all.
Our pleasant, well-ventilated,
roomy new classrooms with their
brand new equipment, make it a most
CHEEKY school to work in; pupils and
teachers feel that there is much to en-
courage them in their hopes for a
prosperous school year.
There is considerable activity on
bur extensive new playground. A
baseball diamond is being laid out,
with basket ball and other play
ground apparatus supplied, grading
being done and sidewalks laid, in one
word, the Pastor Father Vachon is a
very busy man these days.
A most welcome visitor at the par
ish house is the Rev. John Massard,
the head of the Missionary band of
the Rev. 0blate Fathers, who made
his headquarters at Roy.
Rev. Fir. Massaro arrived last week
from a three-months' visit at his par
entail home in Italy, He had not seen
his parents in twelve years. We can
well imagine the happy reunion
and also the farewell when the visit
was ended. Only his great apostolic
zeal could induce any missionary to
go to so far away a country, and we
are all well aware Of the many hard
ships and disappointments a mission
ary has to encounter IN the Masters
vineyard. We appreciate the noble
work of all those noble missionaries.
Master Leo Swayer and Miss Ger
trude, his sister, from Cone, N. NJ,
are among the pupils. Miss Gertrude
is making her home with the Domin-
ican Sisters who conduct small
boarding school.

DOUBLE MURDER AT ATARoUE

A double murder occurred at At
argue station about 40 miles south
east Of Roy on the E. P. & s. w. down
below the foot Of the hill last Wed
resday morning. AS near as we could
learn the facts from the train men on
the Polly it appears that a Mexican
entered the section house about day
break and proceeded to shoot up the
section house, killing man and
wounding woman, both Mexicans,
and after leaving the section house he
in turn was shot to death by the fa-
ther and brother of the murdered
man. Both were left lying where
they fell until the coroner could get
to Atarque from Las Vegas as the
station is in the southeast corner of
San Miguel county. The bodies lay
where they fell all day, covered with
tarpaulins.
The Mexican who started the
trouble is said to have come from Old
Mexico with the woman he shot. They
went to Atarque and went to work on
the section for the E. P. & S. w. R.
r. Later he left the woman and went
back to El Paso, where he stayed for
a number of months, later coming
back and securing a job on the sec
ton at Canadian. 1t is supposed
that he awoke early Wednesday
morning, walked up the track to At
argue arriving there before daylight.
He entered the section house from
the west door and shot the woman as
she lay in bed. She arose and ran
across the house and fell about half
way between the section house and
the main track with four bullets in
her body. Her companion ran from
the house and tried to reach the house
occupied by his father and brother
but was shot IN the hip and back Of
the head as he tried to enter the door
and fell over backward, dead. About
this time the father and brother
emerged from their room and tried
to catch the man doing the shooting
and he started firing at them, but his
gun japmed and he started to run.
'heyN88ediatelY gave chase and
brought him down with a shot and
then severed his jugular vein. James
Bell and Dr. Scott of Tucumcari were
rushed to the scene Of the murders
and looked after the matter for the
railroad company. The father and
brother were arrested and held at
Tucumcari awaiting the arrival of the
San Miguel county sheriff to take
them to Las Vegas. They no doubt
will be released as they only saved
the county a necktie party All the
parties concerned were from Old
Mexico and the murders were the
outcome Of jealousies. The woman,
although seriously injured, has a good
chance for recovery.

A telegram received at this place
announces that Lieutenant Wolcott L.
Russell was elected a delegate to the
National Convention and Tony Han
son State Committeeman by the State
Convention of the American Legion
which was in session at Roswell last
week. The local post was represented
by Homer Holmes and Wolcott Rus
sell, and the Roy Post feels highly
honored by having one of its mem
bers as a delegate to the National
Convention at Cleveland and another
member on the State Committee.

LEGION STATE
CONVENTION
Compensation Act endorsed
Social Welfare of Soldiers
in hospitals discussed
OFFICERS ELECTED
FOR NEXT YEAR
Silver City to get COnven-
ton in 1921

Roy Post No. 33 of the American
Legion demonstrated it's right
to be classed as one of the live
Posts of the state by sending it's
full quota of delegates to the Sc
cond annual convention Of the
department of New Mexico which
was held at Roswell on the 2nd,
3rd and 4th of September.
A number of matters of impor-
tance to the Legion and to all
those interested in the organiza-
tion, were brought up and acted
upon. Among them were the four
fold compensation act now pend
ing in Congress, the welfare of
the disabled eX-service men, the
Women's Auxiliary and the cleo
tion of officers for the ensuing
term. The compensation act was
endorsed by the convention with
an added amendment providing
for the purchase of unappropria-
ted government lands at mini
mum price and on liberal terms,
as an additional option. This
amendment being intended to
take care Of those men from the
western states who are interested
in ranching and to whom none of
the other four options might ap-
peal.
Special attention is being given
the disabled ex-serVice men, not
so particularly to their financial
welfare which is being provided
for by the government, but to
the social welfare of these men
who are still fighting the war,
in the hospitals in all parts Of the
country. Their physical inability
to participate in our every day
affairs renders them prone to
being entirely dropped from our
consideration which is certainly
not as it should be. This work
was put in charge of a central
welfare committee and local post
and individuals, both members
of the legion and others, are
urged to make an effort to i'm
prove existing conditions for
these men. The report of the
Woman's Auxiliary committee
was received enthusiastically
and several of the younger mem
bers were insisteut in their de-
mands that "Sweethearts" be
included with wives, mothers
and sisters as those eligible,
However this demand was over
ruled as being Unfair competi-
tion",

elected Department Commander

BOARD HOLDS
IMPORTANT MEETING

The Village Board met in regular
session last Monday evening and at
tended to quite a routine Of business.
After considerable discussion it was
decided to ask for bids for four ce-
ment crossings and two cement cul-
verts, advertisements for same which
appear in this weeks Spanish-Amer-
tcan. It was also voted to reduce the
speed limit Of automobiles to four
miles per hour within the city limits.
This action was necessary from the
standpoint that too many claimed It
was impossible to distinguish the
speed of a car at twelve miles per
hour. However, we can distinguish
between IL miles and A miles. The
matter Of grading a number of streets
was deferred for the present. Fran
ch:ses were asked for at the meeting
for an Electric Light Co. and also for
telephone company. Both of these
matters were laid over till next meet
ing. The well question was discussed
and it was decided to continue drill
ing as the formation at present is
very good for a heavy flow of wa
ter. The resignation Of A. S. Han
son as trustee and F. L. Schultz as
marshall were accepted. Mr.. Hanson
is moving to Springer and Mr..
Schultz business is too heavy to look
after the marshall business. The ap-
pointment of new men to fill these
places was laid over until next meet
ing. A petition was received from a
number Of residents of Roy asking
that Third street be closed in front
of the Lucero Building during the
present school term. The Mayor was
ordered to make the necessary ar
rangements to close the street to traf-
fic. Several other matters of import
ance to the town were brought up but
were laid over until the new trustee
is appointed.

Mr.. l.. q. Yeager Died Sunday Night.

Mr. T.. pl.Yeager died at his home
in Grenada last Sunday night in the
66th year OF ; his age. The funeral
services were conducted Monday af-
ternocn from the residence by his
pastor, Rev. A. A. Stanley of the
First Baptist church, after which the
remains were inferred in Odd Eel
lows cemetery.
Mr.. Yeager was born in what Is
now this county and lived, until he
moved to Grenada about twelve years
ago, within q very short distance of
where he was born. Everybody
knew him and regarded him as an
obliging friend, a good neighhor and
as one whose impulses and aspira-
tions worked in harmony with the
best citizenship of his neighborhOod
and county. He was a devoted hus-
band and kind and affectionate faith
er.
MIR. Yeager enjoyed the distinction
of having been repeatedly honored
by his fellow citizens with important
public trusts. For several terms he
served district as supervisor and
later he was elected for three sue
cessive times tax assessor for the
county. Only last fall he was chosen
supervisor for district /, which in
cludes the City of Grenada.
1t was Mr.. Yeager's aim to tread
upon nobody's toes; to be duly de-
fereatial at ali times and everywhere.
He manifested sacred regard for
the opinions and rights of others and
never unnecessarily intruded his
opinions on others. For years he
had been a member of the Baptist
church and he endeavored to live up
to the teachings of that church.
Mr.. Yeager is survived by his wife
and seven children to whom The
Sentinel offers sincere sympathy.

east of the rail road and near the
river, in the 67th year of her age
and her remains were buried the next
day in Odd Fellows cemetery after
the funeral services conducted by
Rev. W. w. Woodland Of the Method
list church. Mrs. Langford had been
denied what the world calls much OF
the sweets of life, yet she pursued
her duties -uncomplainingly and for
twenty years had been widow with
out children and had struggled
against adverse conditions. She liv-
ed according to the best lights be-
fore her. Only a few days before
her death, she made profession Of
religion and was inducted into the
Methodist church. She was i'll for
about three weeks.

METHODIST SUNDAY SCHOOL.
Hilf-ToR Rsce--Reds, White. and
Blues.

The onward rush of the Blues
could not be stopped and with score
of $40 points (feet) last Sunday,
they went over the top of the hill
with a total of 1925 feet, and the
distance from bottom to top Of this
hin is 1900 feet. The Reds scored
100 feet and the White 240 feet,
making their totals, Reds 9S5 and
Whites, $50.
Captain Lockett, with Lieutenants
Woodland and Horn, deserve credit
for the energy with which they work
ed and directed their members in this
contest. Their victory is justly and
fairly won, and all Blues evidently
did their best TO win. They are the
honorees at the banquet and social
TO be given early in March, the de-
tails Of which and date will be an
nounced at close of contest, which
will be March 7th.
The Blues have been irnpartially
divided and one-half given to Reds
and Whites for the run-off, which
promises to be as interesting and full
Of Pep as it mas been thus far. Names
viii be called Sunday.
There were 249 tive hundred
forty-nine) present Sunday, of which
number over 200 1.-TWO hundred) were
on time, and 35 (thirty-fve) new
members were enrolled. About six
came in as visitors. And we did not
encroach upon the membership of our
sister churches! This is evidence of
the fact that there were many in
Grenada not attending the Sunday
School, and shows us what our Sum
day School can do, should do, and by
the grace of God, MUST DO.
The first step in the forward move
ment is attendance, SO let Reds and
Whites be even more Jealous these
next two weeks than before. EV-
