NORMAN MATT|SOh
DIED SUDDENLY
TO-DAY
Member Of Senate and For Six
Years Side Judge
WAS ILL ONLY A FEW HOURS
Judge Madison Was For Many
Years the Leading Citizen of
Town of Glastonbury.

State Senator Norman l.. Mattison
of Glastonbury died this morning at
one o'clock at his home after a few
hours illness.
~ Mr. Madison had for some years
suffered somewhat from heart dis
ease and also of late from chronic dys
sentery. He was taken with an at
tack Of the latter about o'clock
Thursday evening and it weakened
him so that his heart would not with
stand the strain.
Norman l.. Mattison was one of the
best known citizens of Bennington
county. For three terms he was one
of the associate judges of the county
court; he has represented Glasten-
bury in the Legislature six times; has
repeatedly served as foreman or mem
Der of the grand jury of the county;
has held every town Office of his town
and usually several of them; and last
fall was elected one of the senators
from his county.
His early advantages were rather
meager but he had native ability
and shrewdness of judgment that
made him a strong and influential
man. In the Legislature he served on
many important committees and his
judgment on the sentiment of the leg
islature on any important matter of
legislation was better than most of
any other member.
dis acquaintance throughout the
state was large. His seven terms in
the legislature has given him a per-
sonal knowledge of practically every
public man in the state. He always
attended state and county conventions
and was always an influential figure
in the councils of the Republican par
ty of which he was a lifetime mem
Der.
- lie Was-a farmer aurf--fumberman
and was successful in a modest way
in his business efforts. He was one
of the best hunters in the county and
dearly loved to hunt foxes. AS a rife
shot he had few equals.
He was born in Glastonbury April
10, 1851, and always lived in that
town. He has served Glastonbury as
town clerk for % years, as lister for
20 years and has for a generation
been the leading citizen of that town.
Judge Madison is survived by a
widow, formerly Miss ANGELA Nc
Donald, FIVE sons and one daughter.
The children are William, Richard,
Norman, John and Ira and Miss I.y-
dia Mattison. He is also survived by
one brother, Nelson Mattison of Ben
nington, and one sister, Mrs. Orville
Tiff of Glastonbury.
The Madison family was one of
the first TO settle in Bennington coun-
~ and one of the best 1t was of
pure New England strain and Judge
Mattiscn was worthy descendant OF
worthy race. He would drive miles
to do a favor for a friend. Probably
there was no man in Bennington
county better known to all the peo-
pie of the county than Judge Matti-
son and none who will be more miss
ed.
The funeral will be held from his
late. home in Glastonbury Sunday af-
ternoon at o'clock. The burial will
be in the Maple hill cemetery.

Salvador Accepts and New Treaty Is
Written

Washington, Aug. THE first of
the international peace treaties en-
bodying Secretary Bryans plans was
signed today. 1t was between the
United States and Salvador and soon
will be sent to the Senate for ratifi-
cation.
The terms of this convention are
practically identical with the details
of the international peace proposal
submitted by Secretary Bryan to the
nations of the world. Twenty-six
countries including most of the great
powers already have approved the
plan in principle and it is probable
that the signing of other treaties will
fellow in rapid succession. All will
be drafted on the same general lines.
