County Treasurer J. D. Allman was called to Remington Friday by the serious condition of his brother George, who has been in such poor health for several years and who had suffered a stroke of paralysis. Several years ago George was injured in h railroad wreck, slightly as thought at the time, when he was a strong, vigorous young man. A year or two thereafter his health began to fail, in that he became partially paralyzed, and he has been unable to do anything for a long time nor have the numerous doctors and specialists who have treated him been able to do much for him. At this writing his condition is slightly improved over what it was Friday and Saturday.
