The personality of Grandma Hart was one that will be long remember ed by those who knew her. Hers was truly a life of service. Always ready to lend a helping hand to those ln need of help, many 'kindnesses has she shown to those who were In need of a friend;, even up to the time of her last illness was she ever ready to assist those who were ln need of assistance. Toward the last she suf fered much, but bore her suffering with all patience and true Christian fortitude. Her lite is a model tor those who live after her and she will be greatly missed and mourned by all. Almost the entire community attended her burial service, which was conducted by the Western Star Chapter. "So. Ill, O. E. S., of which lodge she was an active member un til within a few months. Rev.

SO Villa has reached the Guerrero mountains and Colouvl Ueorge Dodd's advance guard has crossed the railroad 'curving southwest from Chihuahua City, ac cording to unofficial reports today. Villa is said to have split his com-! mand into three divisions after. leav j lng El Vallo, and to have taken per sonal command of about 0 picked fighters. ; Some dissatisfaction was evpresood by army mun over the limitations In the official permission given by Car- rania to use Mexlcun railroads for military purposes. Major General Funston, however, believes that this conjesston will be of great assistance to the expedition. General Funston refused further comment on the railroad situation today. He had received details of the agreement from Washington, but they were confidential and were not made public. The impression given out at army headquarters was that' Carranza had gone as far as he could under the circumstances. Serious problems are besetting de facto gov ernment officials. nH'esaltatlnn ex treme caution, army men admitted. There was no report from Colonol Dodd's flying cavalry. Funston said It was possible he had already cros sed the railroad west of Chihuahua City and was probably petting his supplies from that point. Funston reiterated his statement that he had no Intention of going to El Paso. War Secretary Baker has ordered several aeroplanes for the expedition without awaiting formal bids. De tails of the deal were withheld.

Members of the Interstate commerce commis sion and of the state public utilities board announced today they would attend sessions of the inquiry into the wreck horror at Amherst, Ohio, In which 26 persons were killed and more than 40 were Injured, two fat ally. Employes of the New York Central have been called to testify so that the guilty persons may be Identified and suspicion removed from those who were Innocent. The evidence so far made public shows thst there are only three pos sible questions to be answered: Did Engineer Hess , of the Lake Shore train second section fsll to see the block signal for him to stop? Did Towerman Ernest fall to set the block against Hess, as the latter alleges? Did the signal apparatus work properly? Ernest asserted that the signal equipment was faulty. This Is strenu ously denied by the railroad. It was expected that the crew of the Lake Shore train's first section; which wss struck by the second sec tion, and the crew of tne Twentieth Century limited, which , plowed Into the wreckage, would he absolved of all blame. ' The first section was apparently proceeding slowly and carefully through the dense fog when it was smashed, and the Twentieth Century limited plowed Into the debris before Its engineer had time to apply the" ibrakes. The death list was changed from 27 to 26 when attendants at the Am-4 heirst morgue pieced ' together one body from fragments contained ini two dlferent sacks.
