WAS A SAD PROCESSION

All that is mortal of Barney McGin-
ley has been consigned to earth, and
never again will human being look
upon the kindly face of one of natures
truest noblemen.
The hundreds of sad-faced men and
women who followed to the grave the
body of him whom they knew as one
of Gods noblest creatures felt keenly
the loss which has befallen the COM
munity in Barney McGinley's death.
In that sorrowful procession which,
yesterday afternoon, wended it's way
to the Catholic cemetery We're scores
Of pioneers in this region who had
known Barney Mckinley for 90 years
and more-pioneers, who, in the stir
ring times of early days, had often felt
his kind hand of true friendship, and
who have never known Barney Nc
Ginley to be other than a noble Christ
IAN whose heart ever throbbed in SYM
pathy with the afflicted. whose purse
was ever open to the unfortunate,
whose charity has relieved so much
distress.
Never before in its history has such
a magnificent funeral pageant passed
through the streets of Anaconda. No

in which Barney Mckinley was held by
his fellow citizens: the long line of
sorrowing people who followed silently
in the wake of the black plumed hearse
spoke louder than could any words.
The number of people of this city in
yesterdays procession was increased
by scores from other cities of the
state.
The funeral was announced to leave
the family residence in West Park ave-
nue. at o'clock. Long before that
hour the street was filled with car
riages and people on foot. Hundreds
took advantage of the opportunity to
look for the last time on the face of the
dead: for an hour there was constant
stream of friends who passed in at one
door and out at the other.
From the residence the procession
proceeded to st. Paufs Catholic church,
where the impressive burial services of
the church were conducted by Father
Toilet, who also delivered an appro-
pirate sermon. Father Toilet. despite
the fact that he suffered severely from
an attack of throat trouble. spoke for
20 minutes in eulogy of the man who
lay a corpse in the caket before the
altar. Father Toilet dwelt at length
upon the noble qualities of Mr.. McGin
ley, speaking of his charity in the
highest terms and urging his hearers
to emulate the example of the true
Christian, such as was Barney McGin-
ley in his life time. ..s,sa ..- 4e.5.e4.4 81

lent march resumed its eastward
course to the cemetery. There were
no services at the burial. The rich me-
tallic casket was solemnly lowered into
a grave lined with pure white and
decorated with wreathes of SmilaX.
