Of the illness OF his wife in conse.
quence of having given birth to
an infant. 1t was reported, how.
ever, that she was down with the
yellow lever, and the whole com.
mGnity got panicky and ready 10
move at moments warning.
The excitement finally ran SO
high that the people telegraphed
to DR.. Cowan, Of Tullahoma, to
come down Immediately and visit
a case of yellow fever. General
Superintendent j. W. Thomas
was telegraphed to for permission
10 allow DR.. Cowan to come down
on the engine of Tullahoma &C
commodation. The permission
was given, provided engineer Len
Byers was willing TO go there.
Byers said he was perfectly will
ling, and Dr.. Cowan was taken TO
Normandy. DR.. Cowan's Sudden
appearance at bis house startled
Holt, who declared be had not
sent for him, and did not know he |
was on the way. Dr.. Cowan gave
