Mrs. G. w. Atkinson III.

News of the serious illness of Mrs.
George w. Atkinson of Calabasas,
will be learned with genuine regret
by wide circle of friends in Santa
Cruz county and Nogales. The
good lady had for several months
been ailing, but Col. Atkinson had
hoped a change would occur for
the better. Monday he came to
the city, having business before the
board of equalization; late in the
afternoon the big rain storm came
and he decided to remain in the
city all night, as he had done many
times before.
Early Tuesday morninga courier
rode up from the ranch bringing
word to the colonel that his wife
was dangerously i'll. Colonel At
kInson and DIR. A. S. Russell i'm
mediately left for the ranch where
Mrs Atkinson was found seriously
i'll, suffering with what is drought
to be brights disease. Wednesday
her condition was improved and
hopes for her recovery are enter
tanned.
As soon as the lady can stand
the trip her husband will take her
to the hospital at Tucson where
she can receive the best possible
medical treatment and careful
nursing.
