Within a short?ime there will be three government postoffice buildings in course o construction in southern Wyoming one at . Laramie, one at Evanston and one at Cheyenne. The case of Private W. D. Flynn of the Eighteenth infantry, who died at Fort Russell, was a puzzle to physicians. phy-sicians. Last Sunday week Flynn fell against a table and received a severe blow in the head. He did not suppose that he was seriously injured and went about his duties- as usual. Tuesday while on the parade ground he complained com-plained of feeling ill and was told to go to the hospital. He walked the distance dis-tance of half a mile unassisted, then collapsed. An examination , revealed that there was a large fracture in his skull, the result of his fall Sunday. He did not regain consciousness after his collapse. o Under the head, "Testimonial to Bishop Keane," the Irish Standard, published at . Minneapolis, Minn., contains con-tains . the . following: J : "Monday evening, Nov. 17, at the parish hall the members of Immaculate Immacu-late Conception church presented the newly-elected bishop of Cheyenne, who had been their pastor for the past ten-years, ten-years, with a testimonial as an evidence evi-dence of the love and esteem they en tertain for him on his. departure from Minneapolis to his new field of labor in Wyoming. -.The leave, taking be-! be-! tween pastor and people was affecting in the extreme. The hall was filled to overflowing on the memorable occasion oc-casion and many were in tears. "Mr. Joseph M. Rega, one of the most prominent of the parishioriers, presided at the meeting, and in a few simple but eloquent words expressed the regret of the congregation in losing los-ing so faithful and devoted a pastor. In concluding he handed Bishop Keane a purse of about $1,200 as a slight token of affection from the men of the parish. John C. Sheehan also made an address of like tenor. "In response, Bishop Keane, who was deeply affected, said that he did not expect ever to meet friends half so devoted, de-voted, nor to find work that was so congenial. In his judgment the change is a. loss to him and he said, half humorously, hu-morously, that he was confronted by the thought that be was not at all .instrumental in securing his own apr pointment. He refifsed to be held responsible re-sponsible and said that if disaster came of it either to the cause or himself, he would hold those higher in authority author-ity responsible. ' "The ladies of the parish, young and old, presented Bishop Keane with another an-other purse before he left the city on Thursday evening. The separation between be-tween the bishop and his flock was most affecting, and to an outsider it reflected credit on both. The prayers of his people follow Bishop Keane to his new home." |
