for two years, where he graduated. In
1860-61 he taught school at Edgerton
and at Fulton. His marriage to Mar
tina Janette, daughter of Adm Burdick,
one of the early pioneers of Albion,
took place in 1859, and few years
later they took control of the Burdick
homestead there where they continued
to reside for nearly fifty years, except
while living in Madison a few years
while educating their children at the
university. About ten years ago a
comfortable home was erected on Blaine
street and became resident of this
city until the death of Mrs. Atwood in
June last. Since that time he had
made his home with his children.
Four children born to them are DR..
j. Burrows, who lately removed to Cal
ifornia; George T. of Gays Mills; jan
cite, Mrs. Homer Sylvester, OF Living
ston, Wis, and Augusta, deceased.
Mr.. Atwood was a man OF strong
mental attainments and took lively
interest in politics as we'll as questions
of his time. His keen business abili-
ties had acquired him competence in
long and active life. His physical
endurance was amply tested in the loss
of limb by amputation after he had
reached the age of 80 years.
The remains were brought here by
train from Gays Mills Monday evening
and funeral services held form the Con-
gregational church Tuesday afternoon,
conducted by Rev. Leonard Parr of
Geneseo, ILL.,, and interment followed
in the family lot in Fassett cemetery.

The Hahn Hardware Stock Sold.

On Tuesday a deal was closed where
by the hardware stock of the Hahn Es-
tate was sold to Harry Hahn, Frank
Livick and Hubert Arthur And thus
ends the business career of one of the
oldest and most reliable business firms
in Edgerton In the year 1876 j. ID.
Hahn opened a hardware store here and
conducted the. same until his death,
some 20 years ago, and the business
since that time has been run in the
name of the J. d. Hahn Estate, under
the management of two sons, Ed. and
George, and by honest methods and
square dealing the business has in
creased from year to year until today
the stock carried is one of the largest
and best in southern Wisconsin. In
taking over the business it would seem
that the new firm was particularly
fitted to conduct it in manner in
keeping with its past successful man
agement. Harry Hahn has had large
experience in the heating and plumb
ing business, while Frank Livick and
Hubert Arthur have both been con-
nected with the store for several years.
They are three upright young mel and
are bound to succeed if energy and
square dealing count for aught in the
conduct of business of this kind.

with william Bayard Haze, President
Wilson's special envoy, General Ven
ustiano Carranza made the most ex-
plicit and definite statement he has
yet uttered with reference to Huerta,
the United States, and the Constitu-
tionalists' revolutionary movement, OF
which he is the head.

said, NOR the interference of any ma
ton to regulate Mexico's interior con-
ditions."
After the conference Carranza was
non-committal. Envoy Hale remained
silent, but it was evident that the par
leys begun Wednesday were not fin
ished.
Carranza's statement, however, re-
ferred to the negotiations with WASH
ington and also to the suggestion from
the American capital that further
bloodshed might be avoided and peace
and order restored if the contending
factions could get together through
the American agents, Hale and Lind,
and agree upon provisional president
Acceptable to all parties, who would
serve until a chief executive we're
chosen at a full and free election.
"The only thing which we ask and
which we are trying to obtain from
the United States, is the free imperta'
ton of arms into Mexico"
This was the closing sentence OF
the statement which was given out as
a final declaration.
