viewed with the utmost Difference. At
Shakopee, Belle PLANE and other
places the whole town was at the sta
ton. School children, with flags
pointed downward, lined the street on
each side of the train, while small
boys and gray haired men stood with
barred heads as the governors body
was hurried towards its resting place.
The train arrived here at las p. m.
The funeral cortege, escorted by state
militia and representatives Of state
and civic organizations, proceeded to
the Presbyterian church, where the.
body lay in state and was viewed by
hundreds of citizens Ct st. Peter for
an hour. and half before the relig-
ious services were held. Rev. e. G.
Clarke read the services and delivered
the sermon, using the text: "Know
We not that a prince and great man
has fallen this day." Brief services
were held at the cemetery and the
local company Of the national guard
fired salute as the body was lowered
into the grave
