Loring A Aiken, who was operated on at Chicago for dropsy of the heart, died last night. Mr Aiken was taken to Chicago three weeks ago for treatment and it was decided an operation was necessary, but it was too late. Deceased was 69 years old and born in New Hampshire in 1847.

After leaving the board of trade he took the management of the Edwards Wood company where he was for five years, leaving them to take the management of the Wisconsin Grain and Stock company which company he was with at the time of his death.

Mr Aiken was a member of the First Wisconsin Heavy Artillery and primate in the local G.A.R. circles and organizer and financier of the first ball team in LaCrosse.

He leaves to mourn his loss a wife and nine children. Elmer Aiken of Menodia, Albert, Percy, Lester, Garfield, Omro, Blanche, Mrs Charles Raymond, and Mrs D Raymond of this city.
