MOST TRAGIC SCENE.
THE MOTHER OF HAywAnD AT
THE MuRpEREWs FUNERAL.


Minneapolis. MINI. Dec. ii.-At the
simple burial given the remains OF
Harry Hayward this afternoon ut
Lawnwood cemetery there occurred n
most tragic incident.
The ceremony was held In the little
chapel ut the cemetery and was at
tended by very few friends and mem-
bers OF the family. After tho words Of
Scripture and prayer. Mrs. Hayward
desired to place some flowers on tho
casket, and, supported by her son. DR..
Thaddeus Hayward. and her husband.
she advanced TO do so. she walked
around the head of the coffin. When
she had arrived Mt the right hand side
OF the bier she hesltnted. In response
to n signal. Thaddeus and her husband
ioosened their support OF her and she
stood alone. She raised her clenched
hands and broke forth In low. moan

My baby boy; my dear baby boy. God
has forgiven him. God has forgiven
you. Poor dear Harry: poor, dear
Harry. Be brave mother; be brave
and strong, The chains bind me. but
they can't chain my soul. come again.
Poor, dear Harry poor. dear Harry.
with this the mother half turned.
and started to where Adry sat. In

his face In her hands. said; 1--WE for

Her words echoed In the silent room.
Half crazy. the bereaved mother turn

You make light Of my courtesy.
You remind one, Of the dog which
layed on the hay, who would not
eat hay himself, nor allow the
horse too. think our friend Hill
lican Ben, as well as myself has
switched off from the road ques-
tion. You surely ignored my last
article on "Good Roads" I did
not want to impose upon the editor
with such lengthy composition,
and concluded to divide it up and
intended to send the "Good Roads"
part in for the paper following my
reply to Hillican Ben's latest. But
on account of the continued serious
illness, and later the death of one
of our near relatives, who also liv-
ed near neighbor to US, was un-
able to copy 1t until 1t was too late,
and would not have sent it in at
all, had not some of my friends urg-
ed me to do so. That you and the
public have been following after
me, is news to me too, as far as we
have been able 10 learn, the public
is taking but very little notice 10
this combat. Now in conclusion I
move we lay down the gloves,
and give space to the Gore cores
pondent, Zephyr, and others, hoping
none Of them will get sidetracked
as did Hillican Ben and Farmer
Friend. The roads are in need of
immediate attention. Come frie nds
of all trades and occupations, give
your views in regard as to what
should be done with the roads in
the future. Hillican Ben, lam culti-
waiting disposition to do good for
evil, and have had no little trouble
to keep back harsh words that
would come with reluctance, in re-
ply to some of your remarks. So
bidding you adieu, and thanking
the editor for having patience with
me, bow myself out.
