LITTLE SON OF GEO WOOD DIES.

Word was received here Wednesday morning of the death of Alton, the little four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Wood, who left Rensselaer only about a week before for Mt. Vernon, South Dakota, to make their future home. The boy was not feeling well when the family left here, and the trouble developed into lurig*feveer. Burial was made there. George seems to be having his hands full of trouble since going to South Dakota, as they write that two other members of the family are down with measles. Later: Bruce Porter writes from Mitchell, So. Dak., to Mrß. Fannie Gwin, that her brother George’s little boy died from lung fever and cerebro-splnal meningitis, apd that two more of the children are very bad with the same disease. Mrs. Porter is with them and they have all been quarantined.
