STRANGE CASE ENDS IN DEATH

Little Son of Dr. Kennedy of Goodland Died Wednesday. A short time ago the little son of Dr. Kennedy was taken with; a form of anemia that puzzled his and the local physicians. The lad was taken- to Chicago where noted physicians from over the country came to see him and pronounced the case one of the rarest known of that dreaded disease. For several weeks his father and some of his friends gave the lad blood transfusions freely in an effort to save his young life, but for only a short time would he respond to the treatment and then would grow much worse. .On Wednesday of this week he died and the remains were brought home. This disease is always fatal and so far has baffled the finest of the investigating scientists.
