THE LATE W. R. HAGAN
Buried From His Home on West
Washington Street
Something Of the Young Business Han
Whose Career Was SO Recently
Terminated by Death

The remains of William r. Hagan,
whose death occurred on Friday morning
from o1-poisoning, were buried yester-
day in Rosedale cemetery, after sim
funeral ceremonies held at his home on
West Washington street, the Rev. DR.. Fay
officiating. A large concourse of friends
attended. among whom were number of
the younger business men of the city.
Mr. Hagan was only 80 years Of age. but
he had been active in business longer
than most men of his years, he having
been connected before coming to Los An
geles with prominent real estate firm IN
Chicago. He came here nine years ago,
and became associated with Ben. e.
Ward. All through the boom he was en-
ergetic and successful. When the boom
failed. he entered the service of the Ore
gon Improvement company at Seattle,
Wash. where he remained three years.
He still had faith in Los Angeles and
watched his chance to return hither. The
revival in the real estate trade which
set in strongly a year and a
half ago. was his opportunity, and he
came and improved it. For few months
he did business for himself, then in the
firm Of Hagan g. Perez, and later in that
of Kelsey d Hagan. He was an enthu-
SlaSt ana nara WOrker III WndteVer tHlH8
he undertook. and few Of the younger
business men of the city were more gen.
orally known or lespe cted. His public
spirit and large hope often prompted him
to engage with enthusiasm in matters Of
general interest that had bearing on the
growth and prosperity Of the city.
The deceased was born and reared in
Peru, Ill. His parents were A. L. Hagan
and Catherine Hagan, who came to Los
Angeles at about the same time that
their son did, and with whom he
lived. Those who knew him best speak
in terms of deep regret of his untimely

PAY YOUR TAXES.
No Extension Likely'to be
Granted.

Reports from all over the State ipdl-
cate that the people are very backward
in the payment Of their State taxes this
year. The time for the payment of
taxes without penalty expires on Dec
81 The people seem to expect an exfen'
sion of the time when the legislature
meets, as has been the custom for several
years past. This is not considered likely
however, for the legislature does not
meet for fortnight after the time has
expired The State officials who have
the authority to grant an extension say
they see 40 reason for any extension
this year, as the farmers and all others
are iu much better condition financial
ly to pay their taxes now than they have
been 10 some years. It seems very
certain now that there will be 10 extep-
sion, and those who are waiting for an
extension may as we'll 60 ahead and
pay their taxes at once.
The only extension this year will be
that granted the taxpayers in tie storm
distric; by the last legislatures special
ac. until April 1, and this does not af-
feet the taxes due for the fiscal year
1895.
