DEATH WINS CHILD
AFTER HARD FIGHT

After suffering for week
with intestinal toxemia, little
Robert Ringo, six year old son
of DR.. and Mrs. K. r. Ringo,
succumbed to death at o'clock
this afternoon. The end came
after a heroic fight by DR.. Rim
go to save his boy and after he
had summoned to his aid some
of the most skilled physicians
of the northwest.
For several days the little
fellow had been very i'll and DR..
Ringo, who ranks as one of the
best doctors of eastern Oregon,
called other local physicians to
assist him. One of the best
practitioners of Walia Walla
was also called and upon his
reaching Portland from the east
DR.. c. ]. Smith who spent the
winter studying in London. was
hurriedly summoned. He ar
rived on No. IS last evening and
was in constant attendance upon
the lad until the end.
For many hours before his
death and in order to stay the
hand of the grim reaper, oXy-
gen was used to- keep the boy
alive. After the entire local
supply had been used oxygen
was brought over by auto three
times from Walla Walla. Harry
Armstrong of Walla Walla made
the run by auto twice yesterday
and once this morning. on one
of his trips yesterday he
brought a Walla Walla physi-
clan to aid in the case.
The trouble with which the
little boy was afflicted is of
very serious nature and the pa
tient has convulsions. 1t is Of
ten fatal regardless of all that
science can do against it as was
evidenced by the local case.
This afternoon the arrange
ments had not been completed
for the funeral of the little Rim
go boy. but 1t is probable the
service will be held Sunday.

ganizer of production. No organiza-

office was created for his assumption

self expression. He had the quality

slider that the property interests in
