No death in O’Neill ever has brought more universal regret and sorrow than has that of Arthur J. Hammond, for he was a loving husband, a kind father and an unassuming but public spirited citizen whom it was both a privilege and a pleasure to number as one’s friend. From the early days of the town he had endeared himself to those with whom he came in contact and with whom he was associated. O’Neill will be lonely for many with- j out him. , The funeral was held from St. Pat rick’s church Wednesday morning, under the auspices of the Knights of Columbus, the Rev. Father Cassidy officiating. Business houses were closed during the last rites and hundreds paid silent tribute to his passing. Frank Campbell, R. R. Mor rison, T. F. Birmingham, T. P. Han ley, J. F.

Mr. Krotter at the con clusion of Judge Harrington’s address climbed up on a chair and attempted to reply to some of the judge’s caustic criticisms of the Germans, but was promptly squelched by Chairman Thomas of the meeting. Afterward a number of Stwart and vicinity resi dents grew wrathful against Krotter and started out to give his store and office buildings a spring coat of yellow paint. The paint was purchased, but I beforn»it could be applied cooler heads, assisted by the Home Guards, many of whom wanted to be painters how ever, prevailed over the more violently inclined until the arrival of Sheriff Duffy and deputies when hostilities ceased.
