Mrs., Thomas Parlon, the mother of James T. Parlon of the New Richmond Coal & Lumber Co., returned last Thursday from Arkansas City, Kansas, where she had gone to take treatment for stomach trouble, to Lafayette and went at once to St. Elizabeth hospital. She was accompanied by Miss Stella Creahan who had remained with her for ten days. On leaving the sanitarium in Arkansas City she was so very weak, and went first to Euda Springs, nine miles distant. There she took a fever and seemed to grow even weaker when the trip to Lafayette was decided upon. Word from her bedside Tuesday was to the effect that she was very much improved.
