anxious people at the plague stricken city waiting at
che depot there for the first chance TO get away
Mcnphans say that so determined the people
to got out of that city that they clamor with one
another a mob. and those passengers with the
most strength and determination those who run
over tho multitude of timid people and
escape.
DEroT.
People have crowded about the depot for twenty
tour hours before beng able to get the train.
Overcome with heat and fatigue men, women and
children sleep. closely huddlcd together. until
aroused and told that tho hour of their liberation is
near ut hand fresh train has been made up. and
they pass out to the transfer station. which is also
always crowded. Instead of waiting for trains to
carry them thitlcr they go out by every conceivable
convoyancc. and by that often take the places
of those who have been forced to out the
trrns only to find that they have been deprived of
possibility OF their early escape to a healthy
climate.
