La Junta tribune. (La Junta, Bent County, Colo.) 1881-1939, 1906-08-25
Yours truly,


Webb Won Hasseln, Of Anderson,
South Carolina, arrived in La Junta
last Sunday morning, coming here
to take charge Of the remains Of his
father, J. H. Won Hasseln, who died
very suddenly at the City Hospital
on the morning Of August 18th from
congestion Of the lungs. Won Has
seln came here about q week previ-
Gus to his death. He was taken of
No. 4 and was in a very serious con-
ditiOn, his mind being affected,
either by the high altitude while
coming over the Ration mountains or
other causes not known. He was
violent at times and WAS watched
over day and night by two nurses
for nearly week. He apparently
recovered his normal state on the
day previous TO his death, and was
taken to the City Hospital, where he
died twelve hours later.
Webb Won Hasseln, a son Of the
deceased. arrived from South Caro-
lima last Sunday morning to take
charge of the remains. On the day
Of his arrival he received telegram
from Prescott, Ariz., announcing
that brother. William Won Has
seln, had died in that city from con-
sumption. and left for that place at
once. He returned from Prescott
Wednesday night accompanied by
the remains Of his brother, and left
on No. s Thursday morning for his
southern home with the bodies Of
both his father and brother. 1t will
be sad home coming for the rela-
tives of the deceased.

hung at Washington. During his
trial not . man in the south. from
jefferson Davis down. had one word
to say in his behalf. Mr.. Davis claim
ing that he knew nothing about the
management of fAndersonville prison
or the conduct of Wertz. If such
man should have a monument to
perpetuate his memory so should

Icalled at the residence of Gener-
al Washburn, an ex-senator from
Minnesota, TO see General John c.
Black, whom l knew many years
ago in Illinois. He introduced
me to Mr.. Washburn and Miss Clara
Barton. founder of the Red Cross
Society of Army Nurses, which i'm
mortalized itself during the war in
caring for sick and wounded soldiers.
Minneapolis has many fine build
ings. but the most curious is the
Glass Block. large building in the
center Of the city composed almost
entirely Of glass. with just enough
steel to support it and hold it to-
gether. When lighted up, both
within and without by electricity. it
presents most brilliant spectacle
and can be seen for miles around.
We spent a half day in St. Paul.
just across the river from Mime
apOlis. 1t is the capital and there is
located the state house. one of the
finest public buildings ! ever saw. 1t
cost 81. 100000. We also made a
side trip to Fort Smelling. about
twenty miles south of St. Paul. The
campus covers many acres Of ground
and is situated on beautiful plateau
overlooking the Mississippi. The
original fort. built eighty-six years
ago to protect the early settlers
against the Indians. is still standing.
We made another side trip to Lake
Minnetonka, twenty-five miles west
Of Minneapolis. This is most
beautiful body Of water. mile wide
and several miles long. dotted here
and there with small islands. Its
water is clear as crystal and covered
with innumerable sailing crafts Of
every description. This lake is a
great summer resort for the people
Of the twin cities.
Minnesota has about Z 600 of these
inland lakes. some larger and some
smaller. scattered over its suface a
greater number Of such bodies of
water than can be found in
any other similar area in
the world. The Missippi river takes
it rise among these lakes.
The whole country through which
| passed was covered with fine crops
and prosperity was apparent every
where.
My eight-day trip was a most de-
lightful excursion-refreshing, in
vigorating and rejuvenating.

ne Has Dten dttcHulnk tne IOftlctn
annual encampment of the Grand
Army of the Republic. He has writ
ten for the great family journal a
very interesting account of the
recent meeting of the old soldiers,
with a description of the country
which he visited. 1t is as
follows:
EDITOR TRIBUNE: left La Junta
on the 18th instant to attend the
fortieth annual encampment Of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Min
neapolis. MINI. went by way Of
Kansas City. thence north through
Missouri. the entire state of Iowa
and the larger portion Of Minnesota
to Minneapolis, the head Of naviga-
tion Of the Mississippi river.
When arrived found the city
filled with old soldiers and visitors.
The people were full Of patriotic
enthusiasm and showed the old
soldiers marked respect and consid-
GRAFTON. the program Of the en-
campment was about the same as at
Denver last year. the parade being
the most interesting to the general
public. The veterans marched
eight abreast and were four hours
in passing a given point. Before
starting they were furnished with a
free lunch, and all along the line
were stationed young men with
pitchers Of ice water and lemons for
the veterans. The streets upon
which they marched were paved and
as clean as floor. The desire and
curiosity to see the men who de-
stroyed American slavery and re-
stored the union of states more thar
forty years ago was intense, and to
me very amusing, as ] could see
nothing curious about US. Some of
the spectators nearly broke their
necks and others imperiled their
lives to get a sight at the ''old
guard" The trees all along the
route were filled with human beings.
and the roofs and windows of build
ings up to the twelfth story were
packed with human heads. Tenn
porary seats along the route sold as
high as sl.25 each.
Forty-fve states were represented
in the parade. and Colorado made a
very good showing. An ex-rebel
from Idaho Springs. dressed in a full
Confederate suit of grey, with a
captains shoulder straps, and carry
ing United States flag, marched
with the Colorado boys and elected
much applause along the line. ! do
not think there were any more old
soldiers at Minneapolis than there
were at Denver, but there were
nearly twice as many spectators. as
that country is older and more
thickly settled. The Minneapolis
papers claimed that there were
200 600 visitors in the city.
The sessions of the G. A. X. con-
vention passed of harmoniously with
one exception. A resolution was
offered requesting the Confederate
veterans Of the south to intercede
with the Daughters of the COnfed-
eracy and diasuade them from erect
ing their proposed monument to
Henry Wertx. who was superinten-
dent Of Andefsonville prison during
the civil war. This produced an

a wealthy farmer, aged 81 years, died
at his home yesterday morning of
gangrene of the right leg. He will be
buried at Mt. Pleasant cemetery this
afternoon, REV. w. f. Stanley officiat-

due to an accident which he sustained
last winter. A horse stepped on the
great toe of his right foot and bruised
it badly He gave 1t little attention,
altho it panied him considerably. Lat
er in the winter while ohopping wood
one cold day the injured member was
frozen and became very sore He ne
elected it except for such home reme-
dies as he could find until he was
obliged to call in a doctor. He has
suffered much with it all spring and
summer. Recently there were indica-
tions of blood poison and the doctors
informed Meeker that the only hope
of saving his life was amputation of
the leg. This Meeker refused to sub
NIT to, saying he had had the company
of the leg for eighty-one years and
preferred death to parting with it at
this late date. Mr.. Meeker is. survived
by his wife, who resides in this city.
For a number of years Mrs. Meeker
has maintained home in town, while
her husband has always preferred life
on the farm.

Judge Thompson Says That Bryan De-

row ct Springfield.

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 20-William J. Brv-
Thompson, of Jacksonville, desires no
instructed delgates from Illionis in the
next democratic national convention
Unless National Committeeman Roger
c. Sullivan is repudiated by tomor-
rows stale convention.
Thompson made the announcement
Immediately upon his arrival in the
city that he had received such mes
sage from Bryan. When asked today
for Il cory OF the dispatch, the judge
said:
II cannot give out the message, as
not be published. I can, however,
quote verbatim, all 1t contains relative
to instructions by the convention. This
is to oppose instructions unless Sullt-
van is repudiated.
Sullivan merely laughed when ask
ed what the convention will do about
endorsing Bryan s.ssA..
1--WE will not oppose the Instructions
in favor of Bryan. If delegates come
to the convention instructed for him,
they will have to vote that way j
guess" The actual fight for control Of
the convention will not commence un-
til this evening, when the state central
committee meets.
Ex-Congressman Williams, ex-Con-
gressmsln Kerns, and Judge c. c.
Boggs are mentioned for temporary
chairman. After this matter is adj
justed, the fight will be shifted to the
committee on resolutions. Sullivan
and his friends do not wish the resc'-
luton endorsing Bryan to contain any-
thing beyond that endorsement. Or'-
ponents of Sullivan desire it to contain
condemnation of Sullivan and re-
quest TOR his resignation from the ma
tional committee. The matter will un-
doubtedly come before the convention
in the shape Of majority and minority
reports. Matters are very quiet today,
but the political mercury is expected
to bound upward when the Chicago
delegation, q thousand strong, arrives
this evening.
