Paso, Tex, had been sent to the hospital

his condition each day. 1t is believed

Hopkins, however, left Saturday for Ell
Paso to be near her son during his Illness
She was accompanied by Miss Madge
White of Porter who has been in poor
health for some time past and goes to

cause of more uneasiness on the part
of the parents. Mrs. Hopkins has wired
since her arrival that both boys are do
ing nicely and not dangerously sick.
