and Mr.. Rae on yesterday. Operator

services. and reached Shreveport on
] Wednesday. but when Mr.. Rae was
taken sick on Thursday, Mr.. Buchanan
returned home. AMI is now i'll there.
| Operator II. Q. Davis came from Now
Orleans on Sunday, and is now alone on
duty IN the Shreveport office. Our le-
pairer has the fever, but will probably
recover. Alfred Savile. although unac-
oliinnted. has gone to help Davis, aud

been the muin supports of their respect

banker. Mr.. George 4. Pike, and ope-
rator Davis, did nll they could for the
relief of Mr.. Rae. Jackson died before
Dayis reached there, but he received
kind attention from Mr. Pike. Nearly
all who were able to leave town have

| pie who are well is not sufficient to take
care of tho sick. The fever is unusually
fatal, and it is believed by many to be
| Mexican vomito. and to have been iu-
troduced by the employees of the Trans-
I Atlantic Circus. It attacked persons
who had yellow fever in Shreveport
