The Pioche weekly record. [volume] (Pioche, Nev.) 1877-1900, 1877-05-05
- The community


on Sunday last by hearing that the small
pox had broken out among the Indians
at their wickiups near town and that it
was liable to be spread through the
town, through which the Indians were
constantly travelling and having CON-
munication with the inhabitants. The
fact of the di sease being in the Indian
camp was communicated to Mrs. Han
ford by squaw. That lady promptly
informed the proper officers, and Doc
tors Fhilson and Lee Immediately went
to the Indian encampment to examine
into the case and found it to be a bad
case of varioloid. On this report being
made, Sheriff Mckee ordered the In
dams to pack up their wickiups and
leavs town Immediately and for none of
them to come near it. This they did
shortly after the order was given, leaving
the helpless sick man behind them. In
the afternoon he was found to be dead,
his head being mashed in, and every one
was satisfied that the Indians had killed
him, as they usually do in such cases.
They always wish to put sufferer out
of misery. 1t is to be hoped that the
energetic measures used will prevent the
disease from spreading.
SKULL FRACTURED On Tuesday last
Vinel Weaver met with severe and very
painful accident. During the snow
storm of that day the snow commenced
to thaw and fall into the house along
side of the stove pipe. Weaver procured
a ladder and placed it on the front porch
with the intention of ascending to the
roof to clear off the snow. Whilst as
cending and almost at the top, the lad
der slipped from the porch, throwing
Weaver to the ground, distance of ten
feet, he striking on his head. Doctor
Lee was called in and found that Weaver
had sustained very severe scalp wound
and fracture of the skull. The wounds
we're dressed and every attention paid to
the injured man, who is now able to be
around his residence.
