THE SMALL. Pox Yesterday we stated that J. II. Bryan was not with his train that had the Small Pox patient on board, which was true, but subsequently we met Mr. Bryan in the streets, he having come in with his buggy and stopped the train outside nf town Unfortunately he did not overtake the teams until they were within few hundred yards of Miss Angie Mitchell's Miller Valley School house, and in lane where it was impossible to leave the road, so that they were obliged to stop near the school where twenty or thirty chif- dren attend ss
 Mfr Bryan came to town and tried every way to find some means of conveying the man to the pest house, but no one would undertake it, or if they did consent, no one would let a vehicle for that purpose. $25 was offered but no one would take it. This; morning Miss Mitchell dismissed her school and at noon the wagon containing the pa tient was still in the road. Later in the day team was found to take the patient; to the pest-house, where Supervisor Curtis has ordered bedding, etc., to make him

Prescott people will remember the Massey family, who lived several months in our town last year. Mrs. Massey, two boys and a girl constituted the family. The smaller boy killed Mexican boy while here and it was generally conceded that the whole out fit were "a hard game.r It seems that the older of the two boys, being now i6 or r years of age, found a foolish girl of respectable pareatage in Los Angeles, supposed to own considerable property, and ran away rnd married her.
 We fnd in the Los Angeles Express of the 9th, the following sequel to the romantic story:
 "Young Massey and his wife-the boy and girl runaway couple-have been legally seperared. It proved that Madam Massey was not possessed of as much property as it was imagined she had beforehand, and what little she owned was mortgaged. In view of this fact the young gentleman's flame of love waned, fiickered, sank and finally went out altogether. A grass-widow at sixteen is novelty even for this fast country"

SMALLPOX.

Word came to town yesterday that one oi J. NJ. Bryan's trains was approaching from Skull Valley, on the Iron Spring road, and that one of the teamsters, by the name of William Spencer, was believed to have the smallpox. Village Marshal Dodson, al once, began to devise means to keep the disease out of town, by informing the Presi' dent of the Board of County Supervisors and members of the Village Council of the reported danger. He was informed that the Board of Supervisors could have noth- ing to do with the matter @ Councilmen Allen, Hatz, Spencer and Cornell held a consultation and decided to send Dr. rhebodo out to meet the train and ascertain whether or not it was really case of smallpox. The Doctor went out, and on his return reported that it was true, and unmistakably a bad case. Remembering the experience of last year, when the County Board refused to bear any portion of the expense, the Council determined to quaran- tine the train outside of the Village limits, and inform the County authorities of the presence of the contagion, and demand of them that means be taken to prevent its spreading, as we'll throughout the body of the County as among the inhabitants of the town.
 The Village authorities claim, and as 1t seems to us, with much reason, that in eases of this kind, where the patient is not resi- dent of the village, but is brought in from the country. he ought, in obedience to the common dictates of humanity, to have every attention that medical skill and goed nursing can afford, whether al his own or public expense, but for such expense as is necessary in the way of ore caution. to prevent the spread of the dis ease in this aid ether localities 1t is clearly right that the County, and nss tue Village, furnish the means. In the meantime pend. inc the refusal of ths County Board to do anything, the Village authorities will take such measures ss are consistent with public safety.
 Ibis is not charity ease, ss were those of last year, as we learn that the patienT q amply able and willing to bear his own ex- pensss; but the question involved IS. who shall nay for taking measures for prevent ;np the spread or the lisesse.
