 adakin at once made preparations for the trip to Fayetteville and left on the l:36 Rock Island train for that city, reaching there Saturday after noon. A telegram Saturday from Dr. Ellis, saying that IIulburt had lived through the night, ana | later mes sage from Mrs. Nadakin saying that he was some better, but not out of danger, somewhat allayed the Sus- pense and dread of the anxious walters at home, until on Monday morning the dread tidings came that the loved boy had died IS l:45 that morn ing.
