Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-07-02

the procession went up Carson street crowds
gathered Oh ,he sidewalk to laugh at the
strange sight, for hardly anything Can be con-
ceived msre iadicrous than the obsequ,es Of
the Chinese. The procession sas headed by
Sam Wright with his plumed hearse. and fren'
his complacent smile it was quite evident that
he had already secured the coin il. full for the
Job. When "a ChnanAan desires d. . Mclean
funeral, his friends pay big and III advance.
Nothing small about the Chinese upon matters
Of that kind. The corpse lay in the hearse
as if fully resigned to all that WAS going OR
about him until the music IF the Chinese
band struck up, at which an expression OF
agony passed ever the brorzed couutenance
of the deceased Three men followed imne-
diately behind the hearse bearing slim banners
about twelve feet long, and behind the
six more with square banners, snch -
frequently sees in Democratic terchEghs pro
cesssn revivi"L the memory Of dead issues
Then came thirty very dirty Chinamen with
sc,rfs of red and white abeut their bodies
worn like Masonic regalia. Most of them
smoked. After these came two Enthusiastically
apparaled men on steeds whose funeral WAS
NOT far off Next came an omnibus containing
the subsidized female weepers and an olches
ira of ten Instruments, which made tteleful
music for the dead In this band the squeak
ing and bleod curddGng fiddle led by several
lengths, and the cymbals OF brass made the
al. he ho hoo n
humor, as the time to Wa at the grave
Last Of all was dilapiua;4d express wagon
drawn by horse whose bones ratified at every
step. The wagon tanned the funeral
the grave fsr the astronomical requirements
Of the dead When the grave Was reached
punks were lighted and stuck in the gr. nd.
The corpse was then put under ground, and
wall horribly, MAXI sort of ge-as-you-
please csntest with the band. They cried
eight dollars worth, and then the vanished
pigs and roast ducks we're laid on the grave
After these ceremonies the maurners returned
10 Chinatown, and the Washoe Indians wins
made meal of the provisions left for the
deceased pronounced them cooked to a turn.
