At RIPE OLD AGE.
John Ryan, Of Rochester, Passes Away
Peacefully.


On Sunday morning, the LIST inst,
there passed away at his home in
Rochester, one of the Oldest and most
rugged pioneer Irishmen of the state
when John Ryan died at his home,
1913 South lakewood street, in that
city. Death came peacefully, after a
short illness. During his whole life
he enjoyed excellent health and hard
ly knew what it was to be sick. With
the weight of years he simply sue
cumbed to natures laws at an age far
beyond the average allotted to man.
John Ryan was born in County
Kerry, Ireland ninety-one years ago.
He came to New York state in 1S4S
and resided on a. farm there until
1877, when he moved to Minnesota.
He settled in East Rochester, taking
up his home within the block where
all the rest of his life has been spent.
He has lived for the past twenty years
or more in the same house.
Mr.. Ryan's marriage to Mary Bren-
nan took place in Buffalo, New York,
fifty-five years ago last March. Mrs.
Ryan, with eight children, survives.
The sons and daughters are by name:
Eugene, of oxford, New York; John,
of Minneapolis; Michael, Richard and
William, Of Rochester; Mrs. William
j. sheehan. of Minneapolis; Mrs. Den
mis- Daily, Rochester; Mrs. Catherine
Malone, Rochester; Mrs. Mary Lynch,
of New York. One brother also sur
wives, being James Ryan, Of New
York.
The funeral was held from St.
Johns church at o'clock, Wednes-
day morning. October 4. Father
Riordan celebrated the requiem mass
at which there was a very large at
Tendance Of lifelong friends. Mr.. and
Mrs. w. ]. Sheehan, of Minneapolis,
who were at West Baden, Ind, were
notified by wire Of the death Of Mr..
Ryan, and arrived at Rochester in
time for the obsequies.

His personal representative, S. S.
Carvalho, says: You may say there
is nothing doing in the Minneapolis
rumor."
In the United States circuit court
the case of Hugh Gallagher, admins
traitor for the estate of Edward H.
Barrett VS.. the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul railway, is up for trial.
The company is being sued for $5,-
900, it being alleged that the death of
Barrett on Nov. 20, 1904, in their yards
in Minneapolis, while in their employ
as an engineer, was due to negligence.
The jury in the case of John D. Hy-
att, tried in United States district
court on the charge of having embez-
zled letters from the Minneapolis post
office, returned verdict of guilty but
recommended the prisoner to the mer-
cy and consideration of the court.
Attorney Selover for the defendant
moved that sentence be postponed.
This was denied and a sentence of one
year for each of the two indictments
under which Hyatt was convicted was
imposed by the court. The sentences
are to be served concurrently, thus
making the actual time of imprison-
ment one year.
Before passing sentence Judge Nor
ris said he was about to impose the
lightest sentence possible under the
statutes because of the defendants
age, his faithful services as a servant
of the government for which he had
worked twenty-three years, because of
his family and because there was a
possibility that his health was not in
the best of condition.
Hyatt received the sentence with
stoical Indifference. His wife was in
the courtroom and was highly indig-
nant at the action of the jury, finally
giving way to a burst of tears.

Another Irish member OF Parliament
has decided to go to Jail for three
months rather than give a bond for
what tyrannical court calls good
behavior" This is the class Of men
in Ireland whom it has pleased the
English government TO call "crimi-
nails" In any other civilized country
in the world they would be called pa
triots. The bad behavior complained
Of in this last case was the making
of a speech in which the wrongs done
to evicted tenants were portrayed.

OVER THE NORTHWEST.

Grafton, N. D.-Mr. Thos. Grace has
presided as agent at the Great North
ern depot in Grafton since 1882.
Through thick and thin, winter and
summer, good times and hard times,
he has sold tickets answered late train
questions and counted the box cars in
the yard, after the rush was over. He
has always had a good string Of cars
to count until last Friday. On that
day he went out to call the box car
roll and only one little old car ans
wered. That a hand car tucked away
in the hand car house was the only
rolling stock the G. N. had in Grafton.
The car report that night was very
short. The shortest since Mr.. Grace
was first checked in as agent, says the
Walsh County Record.
