Larry Mckinney had the surprise
of his life Friday morning on Tenth
street, while he was vending his way
to his daily work as moulder for the
Moline Pillow company. He met his
brother Thomas Mckinney, whom he
had not seen for thirty years. They
were both mere slips of boys when
they separated. Larry did not recog-
nize the stranger when he saw him
approaching him with his two little
daughters. The trio had come all
the way from Thomas's home in Mon
tana. Thomas, who was on his way
to Larry's house to see him, was on
the lookout for him, and therefore
recognized him. He had taken. the
precaution to telegraph Larry that he
was coming, but he got in before the
telegram had been delivered, and
therefore it was that Larry was
starting for work as usual. 1t is
needless to say that Larry changed
his mind about working that day,
and that he wheeled about and es-
corted Thomas and his little girls
home. Thomas is now a mine fore
man in Montana, and he reports
great prosperity and good wages in
his region. Five to six dollars a day
is not an unusual wage out there he
says. He will remain in Moline for
two or three weeks. Thomas is a
lwidower.
