POPULAR NEWSPAPERMAN AND MERCHANT SUCCUMBS TO PNEUMONIA

    After an illness of less than a week, Arthur Patrick Moran, editor of the Las Vegas Democrat, succumbed early this morning to pneumonia.  Death occurred in the Moran apartments in La Pension hotel.  Mr. Moran is survived by his wife and relatives in Houston, Tex.  The body, accompanied by Mrs. Moran, will be sent to that place tonight on Santa Fe train No. 2.  Burial will occur in Houston, probably on Friday of this week.
    Accompanied by his wife Mr. Moran came to Las Vegas early last spring.  He was impressed with the fine climate and saw possibilities of a good business opening.  Accordingly he purchased the curio, news and stationery business of Miss Minne M. Thompson.  Mr. Moran was a hustler.  In a short time he had built up a large business.  He increased his stock of curios and Indian goods and soon was filling orders for that class of merchandise all over the country.  Mrs. Moran was an able assistant.

A. P. Moran.

    The funeral of A. P. Moran, aged 40 years, and formerly editor of the Las Vegas Democrat, was held Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clock from the residence of Mrs. H. Bushe, his sister, 2313 Washington Avenue.  The funeral was private and interment was in the Glenwood Cemetery.  Father Banfield of the Catholic Church officiated.

    The body arrived in Houston at 9:19 Friday night, accompanied by Mrs. Moran, who was with her husband at the time of his death.  Besides his widow, Mr. Moran is survived by H. C. Moran of Houston, a brother; E. J. Moran of Utah, a brother; Mrs. F. J. Ibeck of Houston, a sister; Mrs. H. Bushe of Houston, a sister; Alfred Cassidy of Galveston, a nephew; Jack Cassidy of Houston, a nephew; Mrs. J. Thomas Hall, Nacogdoches, a sister-in-law; Mrs. J. C. Rudd of Temple, a sister-in-law.

    Mr. Morgan was born in Louisiana, but spent the greater part of his life in Houston.  He was formerly connected with The Post, the Chronicle and the Kansas City Journal, and was well known throughout Texas newspaper circles as a brilliant writer and a thoroughly grounded editor.

    Mr. Moran left Houston for Las Vegas, where he purchased a curio, a news and stationery business last spring and shortly after the purchase of this establishment he increased the business many per cent.

    Not many months ago Mr. Moran entered into partnership with E. J. Scott, and together they established the Las Vegas Democrat, a weekly publication,  The first few issues of this paper showed remarkable ability, and his friends say that if he had been spared his paper would have developed into one of the greatest weekly newspapers of the State.  His entire time was given over to the editing of the Democrat.

    Mr. Moran was a Catholic and a member of the Knights of Columbus.  Before the body was sent to Houston for burial services were conducted in the chapel of the Las Vegas Undertaking Company, Rev. Father Rabeyrolle officiating.  Members of the Knights of Columbus escorted the body to the train.

    Death was caused by an attack of pneumonia, and his illness was of less than a week's duration.
