The funeral services were held at the
house Friday and were largely at
tended, Rev. f. &. Taylor officiating.
The body was taken to Cady's Falls
for burial.
The arbitrators--G. NJ. Powers and
W. W. Peck-in the case of +. L.
Slayton VS.. b. A. Hunt, which has
been pending for the past three weeks,
published their award on Monday.
Slayton sought to recover balance
due for manufacturing between 5OO,-
900 and 100000 feet of lumber at
the Lanpher mill in Eden. Various
claims were made by each party for
non-fulfilment of contract, Hunt
claiming that lumber was not wholly
manufactured according to contract,
and Slayton claiming that when i'm
perfect work was done it was because
of the bad saw, which was shown to
be badly rim-bound and too weak
and timber to do good work. The
arbitratOrs-as is usual-rendered q
compromise award. Slayton recov-
cred something less than he claimed,
about 500 net, land Hunt pays most
of cost of arbitration, amounting to
$3.50. The case was five days
pending, actual work. Sawyer for
Slayton; Hunt pro Sc.
The Grand Army exercises at the
town hall Saturday evening were of
very interesting and entertaining
character. An old-time Hyde Park
audience honOred the occasion with
their presence, the house being filed
from front to rear. The main object
of the gathering was the presenta-
tion of memorial volume by ex-
Gov. Page to Aaron Keller Post,
No. 81. This memorial is not only
in itself intrinsically valuable, being
handsomely and substantially bound
and trimmed and it's pages being of
parchment, but has a much greater
and higher value in that it contains
a true, certified history of every hon
orably discharged soldier in the
towns of Hyde Park and Eden, q
brief biography of its donor, ETC.,
thus making it of rare merit histori-
cally. The exercises were full of pa
triotism from beginning to end, the
audience was enthusiastic and Tie
entire programme was completed
without hitch. Hon. H. H. Powers
was the orator of the evening and as
he came forward on the platform he
was greeted with rousing applause.
1t goes without saving that the
Judges speech was eloquent and ap-
prOpriate. Space forbids us com
menting on each individual number
of the programme. Suffice it to say
that the presentation was made in a
! hearty WhOle-souled manner and ac-
cepted in like spirit, the recitations
were all excellently rendered, the
speeches bristled with patriotism,
good sense and wit, while the music
furnished by the orchestra was up to
its usual high standard. The Post
expressed by rising vote it's thanks
to all who assisted in making the
meeting a success, and in conclusion
all joined in singing America" ac-
companied by the orchestra. Fol-
lowing is the programme as carried
