Prof. Golf and Miss Herrig returned
from their sad mission to Bryant with
the remains of Miss Gay Pye. The little
town was draped in mourning emblems
throughout, every business house was
closed and the entire population nearly
turned out to pay the last sad tribute of
respect to the remains of one who was
dear to them all. They report Mrs. Pye
slightly improved though little hope of
her recovery is entertained. The broth
or who was here is also entirely over
come and fears are entertained OF his
mental condition. 1t was a particularly
sad occasion throughout.
The seventh annual encampmsnt OF
the Lake Madison Veteran association
began on the Chautauqua grounds at
Lake Madison yesterday. The register
OF veterans in attendance numbers up
wards Of eighty, the most Of them from
the adjoining towns OF Flandreau, Egan,
Colman and Dell Rapids. The aboys,'
who are in most cases accompanied by
their families, are comfortably situated
in tents pitched in the groves east and
south OF the auditorium, and have given
themselves up to as free and full enjoy
ment of the occasion az circumstances
and the sad event Of the spast few days
will permit. The first camp fire was
held last evening, at which the principal
event was the address Of welcome by
Hon. G. B. Kennedy and short speeches
from several OF the veterans. To-day
there have been accessions to their ranks
and the boys have gone through all the
evolutions OF r~eveille, surgeons call,
guard mounting ETC., incident to a
soldiers life. The addresses by the gov
ernor and other noted speakers this
afternoon have drawn a large attendance
to the grounds.
