Army. On February 22nd he fell victim of an apoplectic stroke, and was unable to talk or move. His misfortune was brought to the notâ€" ice of the Dumaresq Spencer Post in Highland Park. Adjutant M. W. Schreiner and Archie Jones immedâ€" iately rushed the man to the Great Lakes hospital where he is receivâ€" ing treatment. As McKinnin eould not make his wishes known their task to find his relatives was made and located a sister, Mi z _ n ens, Lonâ€" don, England, who was quickly noâ€" tifed.
