Mr.. NJ. K. Cruger, in charge of the
Chambers Told Lehner) house, represents that
there has been but one yellow-fever case in
that house, that-of DIR. J. G. Forbes, OF
Round Rock, Texas-during. the present
epidemic. The house was closed by Mr..
Chambers when he left here, but was re-
opened by Mr.. Cruger at the special request
of Vice president Edmondson of the Towards,

were three young men of the highest stand
