About the worst encounter with the
snow that we heard Of last Thursday
was that OF the attendants at the
funeral OF Mike Rocks child. When
the procession got in the vicinity OF
the Great Western office the hind bob
OF the hcarse went down out OF sight
One team failed TO pull II out and
second team was taken from the hack
The two teams tugged away and after
breaking up both harnesses, the
teamsters were compelled TO desist
and send TO the city for work team
and heavy harness. In the meantime
gang OF shovelers were set at work
and after two hour wait the process
sion was again started. Going into
the cemetery the hearse got stuck
again and i'm extracting IL the door
was pulled of. The funeral started
at $50 and got back at 1880
