SIR KNIGHTS ]. c. BAIRD,
GEORGE c. RAFTER,
A. j. PARsHALL,


At 2:40o o clock the exercises in the church
were ended. Just as the services were
concluded b~attalions of the 9th and 21st
infantry marched eastward on Nineteenth
street, and coming to a front faced the
church and presented arms. When in
line the body Of the troops extended from
the Catholic church nearly to Ransom
street, a distance of almost two blocks.
AS the people emerged from the church
the City band played a funeral dirge and
in a few moments the procession was
formed under the directions of Sir Knight
r. B. Horrie Of the Knights Templar.
The military, commanded by Gen. Ma
son, marched at the head with reversed
arms. Gen. Mason was attended by his
staff, consisting of Col. Anderson, Maj.
Parker, Adjt Robertson, Q-uartermaster
Regain, Surgeon Kahler and Chaplin
Brady. The troops consisted of eight
companies of twenty-five men each and

man, Co. D, 9th infantry Capt. Lee, Co.

A. 9th infantry Capt. Bowman. The
color company ofthe regiment carried the
national colors draped in mourning.
The hearse, guarded by the Wyoming
Commandery No. l, Knights Templar
with drawn swords, came next and was in
turn followed by carriages containing the
members Of the family Of the deceased.
Friends came next in carriages and di-
rectly behind them came the federal and
territorial officials, county officials, the
mayor, the city council and the pastors of
all ofthe churches, in the order named.
These were followed by the A. f. and
A. M. lodge. The Ancient Order Of
United Workmen followed next, and the
several lodges Of Odd Fellows were next
in line. The Reynolds post of the Grand
Army and the Sons of Veterans marched
together with dnped flags and were
followed by the Uniform Rank Cheyenne
lodge, No. .. X. of p. The Irish Be-
n~evolent society with its banner draped
in mourning. came next in the procession.
The Pioneer association followed and

Upon arriving at the cemetery the
troops came to a front facing the grave,
presented arms and then rested on arms.
The Wyoming Commandery No. l.,
Knights Templar, surrounded the grave
in the form of a triangle and the fual
rites were held. Rev. DR.. Rafter read
the services, assisted by F. 4. Billiard,
Eminent Commander of the Knights
Templar. The remains were then lowered
into the grave and a cross Of ~evergreens
was deposited on the coffin with the cere-
monies Of the order. Benediction was
pronounced and taps" the beautiful
and parting military honor to the dead,
was sounded over the last resting place Of
the deceased. The Blue lodge passed the
grave and threw sprays of cassia upon the
coffin, the Odd Fellows showered ever
green symbols of rememberance upon the
collins lid and the burial of Governor
Hale was finished. The military marched
away to Fort Russell and the civic socie-
ties, companies and orders, led by the
Knights Templar, escorted the relatives
and friends of the family to their home,
and the funeral was ended.
The banks and business houses were
closed, the public schools were dismissed,
the public buildings were draped in
mourning and by the most imposing
funeral in the history of Wyoming the
people of Cheyenne honered the memory
Of Governor Hale and attested their
esteem of Wyoming's dead executive.

The well known Leavitt Specially COM
pany appears at the opera house this
evening. The company is undoubtedly
the best specially combination that has
been on the road in years. Every detail
of its performances is almost perfect. and
the preparation of the programme evinces
a knowledge of the popular taste while
also exhibiting a pleasing variety ofenter-
tainment. Upon its appearance here
some weeks ago, the company more than
pleased the people, and a packed fheater
will probably greet it this evening.

AS early as l O'Clock IN the afternoon
people began to seek admission to the
Congregational church, in which ediice it
had been decided to hold the funeral SER
vices. Many of the audience were ladies.
The committee of Wyoming Commandery
having charge of the arrangements had
marked off certain designated sections Of
the church for each attending society to
occupy and these had been furnished with
tickets which correspondent with the num-
Der of pews placed at their disposal
Ushers stood at the foot of each aisle 10
prevent the spectators from ~crowding into
the reserved portions Of the church. The
gallery was filed from an early hour.
Tho decorations of the church, while
not elaborate, were very tasteful. A very
large United States flag, looped at inter
walls with heavy folds of CREPE, was
stretched along the whole length of the
gallery. Back of the pulpit banks of hot
house flowers made a beautiful display. A
heavily draped flag was stretched in front
of the choir railing.

RchA~An1 11AhS IA StaAts
The remains Of the late governor,
guarded by six of his brethren Of the
Cheyenne C~ommandery of Knights Tenn
plar, lay in state at the executive resi-
denee from 10 o'clock in the morning un-
til noon. During this time many people
young and old, rich and poor, old resi-
dents who had been here to witness the
incoming of the first governor and new
conner who have been here scarcely long
enough to gain an acquaintance with the
last; old friends and new acquaintance
walked with solemn tread past the pre-
sented swords of the Sir Knights on guard
to look for the last time upon all that was
mortal of the dead governor.
The remains lay in the drawing room.
The handsome furnishing and artistic dec
o~rations of the room, the rich regalias and
military bearing Of the Knights on duty as
guards of honor about the casket and the
beauty of the munifcent floral offerings,
all went to make up a picture of stately
beauty, to which the hush and stiffness,
always attendant upon the presence Of
death, added a touching solemnity.
On a stand at the head Of the casket
wasa pillow of lilies, roses and mignonettes,
in the centre of which in snow white buds
was the word Rest"
This was the tribute of Hon. f. Z.
Warren and Hon. Joseph M. Carey, both
friends OF long standing of the deceased.
On the casket was an offering from
Cheyenne Commandery, Knights Tenn
plar, consisting of Maltese cross on which
lay a passion cross, the whole %surmounted
with a beautiful crown typifng some of
the principles Of the order. On the
casket wa an anchor, shield and crescent
across which were the letters "A. o. u.
w." an offering from the Ancient Order
Of United Workmen. On a stand at the
foot of the casket was a broken column of
flowers, the tribute Of the officers of Lara
mic county. Other offerings were n cross
and anchor from Mrs. A. r. Converse; a
Gloss from Rev. F. ]. Nugent; a pillow of
roses and lilies, with the letter "H' in
immortelles in the center, from Mrs.
Luke Voorhees,; an elaborate anchor and
cross around the base of which made
with white buds were the three links
representing the aims Of their order, from
the lodges Of Cheyenne Odd Fellows; a
sickle of roses and m~ignonettes from the
G. A r.; a crescent and star from the
Pioneers Association with the letters, &c.
p. A" and the date 1857 in raised
characters of purple blossoms; a beautiful
wreath across which in immortelles was
the word Hale" a tribute from Mrs.
A IL. Swan; an anchor and cross from
Miss Grace Spooner, of Council Bluffs.
Iowa, and a magnificent cross from
Messrs. Perry L. Smith, William Daley,
and Homer Merrill of Rawlins.
The face of the dead governor was
somewhat thinner than it had been in
life The features however wore q calm
and peaceful expression as if death had
come upon him withouta struggle. Visi-
tors continued to pour into the house in
considerable numbers until noon, when
the doors were closed to the public and
the final preparations for the removal of
the body were begun.
