| Whenever the funeral is held 1t vii
probably be one OF tho largest ever seer
in the city the turnout Of nail mill moi
will DO particularly large as Mr.. Laughlin
WAS very much admired by them. Th'
general feeling at Mingo on tho receipt o
the news yesterday, II Is reported, wa
that very dear friend had been lost.
Hurley Is 4 mining town Of about 5OC
Inhabitants, situated about one hundred
miles from Ashland, up in the far north
arn part OF Wisconsin. 1t II suppose
that the body WIS taken to Ashland ant
embalmsd. No further particulars con
corning the cause OF death have beet
learned.
It was not the intention
of Messrs. OFT and Glessnel
who were the first to learn Of the death
to notify the family until day, knowing
that no good could be- accomplished b.
Weakening them, and thereby adding to III
natural shock OF such intelll
gence. But come 'lnconsiderat
person hearing in some way Of the death
rushed to the Laughlin mansion, rousec
Mrs. LaughliR by . violent ring Of thu
door-bell, and blurtsd out bluntly TIN
terrible news. Mrs. Laughlin was pros
trated 80 WAS tho entire family; and Ii
tho excitement the indiscre0t inlorman
slipped away. Mrs. L1ughllu was in {
low condition all day yesterday.
