District Attorney w. A. Jackson
transacted business in Edgerton Friday.
He went up to the tobacco city to in
vestigate some charges of gambling that
had been made. A party was up for
preliminary examination, but not enough
evidence could be obtained to warrant
an arrest being made. The most Dis
trict Attorney Jackson could find was a
penalty game and he could not expect
to convict man on that in a Rock
county court. GAINESVILLE Recorder.
j. G. Hahn is engineering the build
ing of new town and large ore docks at
North Escanoba for Milwaukee capital
lists. Mr.. Hahn was formerly an Edger-
ton boy and his relatives and friends
here are always glad to note the success
he is achieving in his profession. When
ever an Edgerton boy goes out in the
world to make his mark, it is SO plainly
made that all the worry may read.
Clyde DeVoll, who was found guilty
of entering and stealing from ware
house at Brooklyn, was brought before
Judge Dunwiddie for sentence when

inmate sentence of not less than two
years or more than five years, beginning

the court administered sound admnoi-
ton that he will doubtless always re-
member.
Twenty three relatives assembled at
the home of Mrs. J. D. Hahn last Sunday
to partake of dinner in honor of Mrs.
Hams 72nd birthday, her children all be-
ing present except Mrs. w. E. Babcock,
of Chicago, and j. G. Hahn. 1t was
happy uniting of children and grand
children to show their love and respect
for the good woman whose best years in
life had been spent that they might en-
Joy the blessings here provided on earth.
Mrs. Hams seventy-two years seem to
bear lightly considering that she is
the mother of a large family, and with
her husband, endured the trials of pio-
neer life. She has lived in the city of
Edgerton twenty three years and is
highly respected and beloved by neigh
bors and friends as we'll as relatives
May she be spared to enjoy and enter
tain on many anniversaries of the day
which gave her birth.
