Bruce Perkins Dead.

Allen Perkins was notified by telegram Monday of the death of his son, Bruce Perkins, at 3:30 Monday morning at a hospital at Little Rock, Arkansas. The telegram said it was Louis Perkins but there appears to be no doubt of its being Bruce Perkins.

They received a letter from him Wednesday of last week stating he was ill with typhoid fever in a hospital at Little Rock and they had not heard from him again until the telegram came. His brother Chas. Perkins was in Texas when they heard of the illness of Bruce and he was notified by letter. It is probable Charles will accompany the remains to Bonaparte as soon as possible.

He left here last summer and has been employed at various places.

He was quite rugged, healthy young man, and his sudden illness and death is quite a schock to his relatives and friends.
