Back from a Sorrowful Errand

Mrs. H. C. McIntosh and daughter, Mrs. Clara Hemstock, arrived Monday morning from their stay of nearly seven weeks at the Grant Arnold home in Kansas. Their stay had been in a handsome new home which Mr. Arnold had established, away from which on every side stretched wheat fields as far as the eye could reach. The nearest neighbors on one side was a mile away, and on the other, a mile and a half; the little towns of Anness seven miles distant and Cheney nine miles, dotted the horizon; and through them ran branches of the Santa Fe railway. The weather by day was much of it terrifically hot, yet mysteriously cool at night. The travelers had carried valued help to the afflicted care for the home and babies, and release for Mrs. Arnold to attend her husband at the Sanitarium in Wichita thirty miles away where he finished his life. Mr. Arnold had made a brave fight for life, and when convinced that he must lose, had wrought manfully for the welfare of his family, even to his latest hour. The isolation of the ranche make is impracticable for the widow and babes to remain on it and Mrs. Arnold and her mother-in-law will establish a home together in Wichita. The two ladies will in September come to Nevada to bring the remains of their beloved to final repose in the Nevada cemetery, according to Mr. Arnold's repeated request and they may spend the winter in this latitude. Mrs. Hemstock will tarry with her parents till Thursday and will then go on to her own home at Clinton.
