New Host at The Carlton Hotel.

The management of The Carlton hotel
is to pass into the hands of Mr.. j. M.
Horst of Beloit Nov. 1st, through a
deal that was consummated on Monday
when the lease and furniture were sold
by G. P. Touton to that gentleman. It
seems to be matter of almost univer-
sal regret that Mr.. Touton has decided
to leave Edgerton, for during the five
years he has had charge of the hotel
he has succeeded in building up repu-
tation that was reflected in steady
increase of business and few hotels in
towns of our size had better name.
However, he had other business in view
that made it necessary for him to
change.
The new proprietor comes to us with
first-class recommendations. He began
the hotel business as clerk of the Gault
House at Sterling, ILL.,, for couple of
years, then going to the Hilton Hotel
in Beloit, from which place he comes
here. The young man announces that
he will do his best to maintain the high
reputation The Carlton has attained
among the travelling public and in this
he will have the hearty cooperation of
Edgerton people.
In April last Mr.. Horst was married
to Mamie McMehael of Sterling, Ill.
They are expected here Friday to ac-
quaint themselves with their new
duties. The transfer of the hotel was
effected through North & Wentworth.

Large Real Estate Deal.

On Thursday last M. G. Jeffris and
Ogden H. Fethers came up from James
vile to complete the sale of their large
farm in Fulton to syndicate consist
ing of Mayor Thos. Ellingson, James
Craig, Martin Flom and DR.. j. L. Hol-
ton, the consideration being $4,000. This
is without question the largest sale of
farm property that has ever taken
place in the county, the deed calling for
800 acres located on sections Is, 20, 20
and 30, town of Fulton, at point where
the Catfish joins Rock river. These
lands were originally located by Daniel
and Robert Stone and for many years
Daniel Stone conducted one of the most
successful stock farms of the county,
although blind the greater part of his
life. The land is especially productive
and the farm equipped with large
house and ample buildings so that the
price paid is deemed very reasonable,
considering the price being paid for
other farm property.
The Stone farm was the scene of a
tragedy in the early COS when Mrs.
Stone was brutally murdered and her
body hid In the cistern at the farm.
Then followed the arrest and conviction
of Ashton, nephew of Daniel Stone,
for the murder. Before the trial had
hardly finished the death of Mr.. Stone
was followed by contest of his will
which occupied the attention of the
courts for some years. The law firm
of Fethers & Jeffris was engaged in
the litigation over the disposition of the
property and afterwards bought out
the heirs, whom the court decided to be
entitled to the property, and thus be-
came owners of the farm which was
sold on Thursday last.
We understand that it is the inten-
ton of the new owners to continue a
general line of farming for the present
at least, though five or six good sized
farms could be carved out of the tract.
The trade was conducted through E.
M. Ladd's agency and he quite natur-
ally feels elated over the turning of so
large a transaction
