John Hyland Meets Accidental Death.

JOnn hylan0 meets AccldentdI Dedlh'
John Hyland, who was shortly to be-
come a resident of our community, met
an untimely death at Farman's livery
barn last Friday evening when a bale
of shavings thrown down from the loft
above the stable part fell on his head
and broke his neck, death ensuing in a
few minutes. Mr.. Hyland, who, with
his wife, had driven up from Edgerton
Friday afternoon, had his horse In
Farman's livery and both he and his
wife were spending the evening with
Mr.. and Mrs. Dennis Mccarthy, resid-
ing over the livery. His horse had re-
Gently been kicked, and, accompanied
by Mr.. Mccarthy, he went down into
the stable part of the barn at about
half past seven o'clock to rub the in
jured limb with liniment. This done,
the two men were walking in the pas
sage between the stalls towards the
front of the building when bale of
shavings, weighing from 40 to 60
pounds, thrown through trap door by
one of the chore boys employed at the
barn, struck him. Mr.. Mccarthy, who
was walking behind him, saw the bale
and gave warning cry, but the time
was too short as the ceiling was only
four or five feet above his head. Mr..
Hyland was at once lifted up and car
ried up to Mr.. McCarthy's fiat, but he
expired before reaching the second
floor. The remains were conveyed to
the Kjolseth-Egeberg Co. undertake
ing rooms to be prepared for burial,
and Saturday afternoon were taken by
train to Edgerton.
Mr.. Hyland was a native of New
York state where he was born Oct. II,
1847. When two years old he came
with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edw.
Hyland, and three brothers and two
sisters to this state, the family locat-
ing at Fulton. His marriage to Miss
Katherine Sweeney took place in Cooks
vile, Nov. IL, 1870. He retired from
farming three years ago and has since
lived in Edgerton, but as he was hav-
ing house built next to John Parish's
residence, just west of our city limits,
into which he was soon to move, he
and his wife had discontinued keeping
house and were visiting their children
here, pending the completion of their
home
Mourning his sudden and untimely
death are his grief-stricken wife and
four children, John and Fred, engaged
in farming, Mrs. Frank Benson of this
city and Mrs. Howard Seaman of
Mitchell S. D.; also three brothers, ]

brought to the residence of his brother
in-law, Chas. Sweeney, Saturday after
noon, where they rested until the fun
eral was held from ST. Joseph's church
