SUMMONS
 PIONEER $ SON

When the regular train from the coast over the Southern Pacific rolls into the station this morning, a gray haired man, bent with the weight of years. his face bronZed with noun tain winds and scanned with lines of care, will be in waiting to receive the body of his oldest boy. Robert Keckle, pioneer of Arizona, miner and rancher, was proud of the boy. born 2l years ago in Pinal county. And though he believed that there were excellent physical reasons why Frank should not be taken from the humble home along the Agua Fria, 50 miles north of Phoenix, and just over the Maricopa county line in Yavapai, he bowed to the mandate, confident that wherever dutly presented, his boy would not be found wanting through fault of his own.
 And now the boy is dead, a victim of pneumonia. contracted at Camp Funston and recurring after he had been transferred to Camp KGearney. Word that the son, and pride of the aged men, had passed away and that his body would arrive here this morning, came in telegram received yesterday morning. Robert ,Heckle. known throughout the section in which he lived as Bob" at once made the necessary preparations to receive the body of his son and take it back to the litIe home where q broken hearted mother is waiting t1 receive 1t. And there not far from the little home. on the banks of the Agua F'ria, where under gently way ing trees, the body ot sister of the young man was flaid tO rest one year ago, a second grave will be dug and another consigned to mother earth.
 It will be a long trip for the aged man. Fifty miles over a desert and mountain road with big truck. And arriving there a simple funeral will he held and the boy. still wearing he uniform he would have loved more could he have fought for if will find eternal peace in the quiet Of the grave.
 Frank C. Heckle was member of the first Arizona contingent to gc Co Camp Funston. He was attached to Company IT,. 15Sth infantry. He was well known throughout northern Maricopa county and in Southern fayapai His friends knew him tc be generous 10 fault, brave and energetic.
