The community was again shocked by the announcement on the streets Sunday morning that M. [adison] M. [arion] Remington had died during the night. Many of his close friends had not heard of his illness until his death was reported. A few days before he had stepped on a nail which passed through the sole of his shoe and penetrated his foot.

F. M. Remington arrived yesterday morning from Oregon and will visit a few days with his relatives and many friends here. The west certainly agrees with Frank, as he is fleshier than ever before and enjoys the best of health. He is on a ranch in Oregon many miles from a railroad and which made it difficult to communicate with him in time for him to reach here to attend the funeral of his mother. He is in the midst of his fall plowing and seeding and so will remain here but a few days.
