LOUDEN BOY DIES IN CALIFORNIA
Mrs. Louden of Scotia received a telegram telling of the death of the 10-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Louden Sunday morning at 10 o'clock. He had been sick for about a week with spinal meningitis. The Loudens are well known in North Loup and Mrs. Louden was formerly Miss Ethel Olson. Their home is now at Santa Rose, Calif. The sympathy of North Loup friends is extended to them in their bereavement. - Ord Quiz
