Mrs. Convis, had died at 10 O'Clock
Saturday night of typhoid fever, at his

Letters received Sunday morning in

but as about five days are required for a
letter from Pasadena to reach Ithaca the
diseased had evidently taken a turn for
the worse after these letters were
written.

Mr.. Hayt was formerly on, OF Alma's
prominent business men, and during his
years of residence in this city was
identified with every movement
looking 10 the betterment of the COM

visited Alma last fall going from here to
Flint where he conducted large retail
establishment th-lce to his California
home. The sympathy OF their many
friends is extended to the bereaved
mother, sister and immediate family.
The remains will be laid to rest in

structed to take the matter up with
the two roads at once. and follow
with such measures as will insure some
action being taken looking to the
erection of a new and commodious
passenger station. This will require
the expenditure of SOME time and
money, gathering data and possibly
taking testimony, nut it is hoped that
it will be unnecessary to take the mat

At any rate the board have decided
to make the fight and believe the
