ing his skull.
Mrs. T. K. Stout of the Boston
store who has been in Coffeyville for
the past week taking treatment for
one of her eyes, is not so we'll. The
trouble is thought by the attending
physicians to be caused by rheuma-
tism of the optic nerve. 1t is not
known at present just how soon she
will be able to return home. 1t is
quite unfortunate as Mrs. Stout was
planning to leave some time last week
on her summer vacation to the coast
and other points including Canada. =
The above, clipped from a Bartles-
vile, Okla, paper refers to Mrs.
Thos. X. Stout, formerly Miss Alma
Brown, the daughther of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. S. Brown, southeast of this
city. Mrs. Stout was one of Buffers
most popular and accomplished young
ladies', and her many friends here
hope that her ailment will not result
seriously.
