WEDDING GOWN OF FORMER
SAUK CENTRE GIRL is
USED FOR BURIAL STROUD

Miss Anna Gertrude Hyland, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. Owen Hyland,
formerly of Sank Centre, but now OF
Minot, N. D., died very suddenly Fri
day Aug. 8, of heart trouble. The
deceased was born IN Sank Centre
and is granddaughter of John
Kusba of this city. The following
story of her illness and death was
taken from the Minot Independent:
Miss Anna Gertrude Hyland, the
accomplished daughter, of Mr.. and
Mrs. Owen Hyland, died suddenly OF
heart trouble at the Hyland home,
Sixth avenue, N. E., Friday morning.
Her: sudden death was shock to her
family and friends, her health having
been excellent excepting for slight
indisposition for few days proceed
ing her death. On the morning of
her demise she had arisen and in
response to an inquiry stated that she
was feeling fine and began dressing
when she fell over onto the bed, and
before her mother could be summoned
from neighboring, house, she had
passed away. A physician was hastily
summoned but his services were un-
availing. Her ailment undoubtedly
was the result of an attack of the in
f1uenza from which she suffered last
winter.
'tThe body was prepared for burial
at the Hamre undertaking parlors
and shipped to the ord home at White
Earth Monday, where the funeral
was held from the catholic church
that afternoon.
"Miss Hyland was an exceptionally
clever young woman twenty-four
years of age and for years had been
employed as telegraph operator at
White Earth, where she had respon-
sible position with the Great North
ern railway. She, leaves besides her
father and mother four sisters Mrs.
Mergens of Devils Lake, Sadie, Kath-
ryn and Agnes, ano four brothers,
Will of Duluth, James OF. Cando,
Gilbert and Leon, two younger broth
ers who reside at home. An older
sister passed away four years ago
while the family resided at White
Earth.
"Miss Hyland had resigned her 90
sition at White Earth about six weeks
ago and joined the family, who had
removed to this city IN May, and was
engaged in preparing her trosseau

SERIOUSLY INJURED SUNDAY.

The many friends Of Mrs. Frank
Connolly, Sr., will be sorry to hear
of her misfortune last Sunday after
noon. Mr.. and Mrs. Connolly and
her son, Mr.. Newton, who is visiting
at the Connolly home, were out riding.
They were up on the Long Prairie
road and they met Henry Bergman in
his car and as the road is very rough
because of working it, Mr.. Connolly
stopped the horse right where the
tents of the road crew are located, and
was waiting until Mr. Bergman drove
past, and while waiting the horse
became very nervous and fretted
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1919-08-21

about considerably. It seemed that
the back seat of the buggy had been
tied down with wire and Mrs. Connolly
and her SON were sitting on this seat,
when Mr.. Connolly snapped the whip
and this starteled the already nervous
horse, and it gave one lunge into the
air, breaking the wire holding tnc seat
and letting Mrs. Connolly and her
SON fall over backwards. Mr.. Newton
was bruised badly, but is up and
around, while Mrs. Connolly received
many bruises and broke four of her
ribs, besides dislocating her shoulder.

the. reverse Of reactionary may never
theless be classed as Conservative Re-
pubiicans. They are the people to
whom Clemenceau is appealing at the
general parliamentary elections in
next October against Socialism.
To this electorate viii be added the
millions OF poilus who have fought
and. bled for their country during the
great. war. For most of the hardships
which they have endured, for the hum
ger and thirst and insufficient pro-
lection against the elements and In
adequate supplies and ammunition.
they hold the present Chamber OF
Deputies responsible. 1t Is no exag-
geration to assert that the parlia-
mentary commissions Of various kinds
from the Palais Bourbon that visited
the front to satisfy their curiosity and
to air their Importance went there at
the risk of their lives, so Infatuated
were not alone the soldiers but also
their officers against these men,
whom they regarded as responsible for
all their troubles.
Had It not been for the splendid dis
cipiine maintained with a steel hand
gloyed in velvet by the principal
French commanders It is probable
that there would have been, not one,
but several military pronunciamentos
aimed not so much at the Government
as against the hated occupants OF the
Palais Bourbon. The soldiers who
served at the front may be relied upon
The sun., 1919-08-03

to vote against the policies Of those
Deputies whom they blame for OBJ
structive interference with the conduct
Of the war and its consequent pro-
longation.
Whatever ministerial reconstruction
takes place will be deferred until after
the results Of the general election are
known. 1t remains to be seen whether
Georges Clemenceau will be willing to
remain at the head OF the Cabinet. II
is possible that he may feel that hav-
ing endowed the nation with a VIC
torious peace, a peace that has won
for him the popular nickname of the
"Pere La yictoire"-the Father OF Vic
tory-he has completed his task and
would prefer to commit to younger
but assuredly not more energetic
hands. preferably to those Of his prin-
cipal and most able collaboration,
Andre Tardieu, the great task Of the
economic reconstruction Of the nation.
The feeling OF gratitude entertained
for him by the French people as a
whole. and especially by the army, past
end present. is still so great that II he
were to announce his candidature for
the Presidency Of the republic in next
February he would undoubtedly carry
the day. For the various legislative
constituencies would exact from their
candidates a pledge to cast their votes
for his election at Versailles early in
the new year.
