E.B. Downing, son Lloyd and Will Stowers came in from Boulder, Colorado, this morning. Mrs. Downing who had been sick for about four weeks underwent an operation last week which proved fatal. The body is being brought her for burial. No definite arrangements for the funeral have been made, at this writing. The Downings are well known here and their friends are legion, all of whom sympathize with the bereaved husband and children.
