RACES WITH DEATH
ACROSS CONTINENT
JUDGE CHYTRAUS SPEEDS TO
WlFE'S BEDSIDE
Physicians Hold Life While Chicago
Man Speeds to California in
Hope Of Beating Grim
Destroyer

Pacing restlessly back and forth
within the narrow confines Of a Pull
man sleeper and gazing with unseeing
eyes at the New Mexico and Arizona
scenery at Il flies in panorama past the
windows of the California Limited,
Judge Alexander Chytraus is speeding
to Los Angeles to be at the bedside of
his wife, who lies at the point of death
i'm the Glendale sanitarium.
All that human ingenuity can devise
is being exerted to keep Mrs. Chytraus,
who is victim of the dread Bright
disease, within the realm of the living
until her husband can arrive. No hope
is held out for her ultimate recovery,
and all that the doctors can hope to do
is to keep the patient alive until the
arrival of Judge Chytraus.
DR. Winnegar Simpson is in charge
of the stricken woman's case and he
holds out but little hope of defeating
the grim reaper and holding off the
inevitable until the arrival of the iron
monster which is drawing the limited
in its flight across the Arizona desert.
However, the physician, assisted by a
score of specialists from this city, is
working day and night to ward off the
fast approaching end, and 1t may be
that a dying wife's last words will
reach her husbands ears.
While the husband is suffering the
torments of suspense on the California
Limited the patients mother, Mrs. H.
A. Haugan, keeps her endless vigil by
the bedside of the stricken woman. Day
and night she watches over her daugh-
ter with all a mothers love and devo-
ton, and the fruits of her efforts result
in naught.
Swift Autos Await Him
Miss Dixon, the head nurse at the
Glendale sanitarium, is also striving
with all her professional skill to ward
off the end until the grief-stricken
husband has had time to bid the COM
panion of his joys and sorrows long
farewell. For several days the nurse
ably assisted by others of her corps
has ceaselessly watched and worked for
the patients comfort, but her efforts
have not been attended with joyous
reward.
Mrs. Chytraus. accompanied by Mrs
Haugan, came to California some
months ago and for the last three OF
these has been under DR.. Simpsons
care at the Glendale sanitarium. For
a while apparently definite progress
toward recovery was made, but at last
the disease secured the upper hand
and Judge Chytraus was apprised OF
his wafe's condition.
Immediately on receipt of the grief
burdened message the husband started
for this city. From the time he board
ed the California Limited in Chicago
on Sunday up to the present he has
been in hourly communication with the
sanitarium.
The news sent to him was rot of q
cheering nature, but with conditions
as they are Mrs. Chytraus may be KEEP
