Jordan (Scott county, Advocate: While
smallpox was raging in the family
of Peter Sauser, of Credit River, two Of
the sons went into the barn and slept on
hay NOW, and in close proximity to pile
of wheat containing about 600 bushels
The fact came to the knowledge of the
state hoard of health and by them was re-
ported to Gov. Hubbard, who has ordered
Sauser to burn the barn and the grain il
contained at the time. This order should
be enforced so far as the wheat is con-
cerned, for, should it be thrown into
market, it is impossible to tell the dire
effect it would have in spreading the
loathsome contagion abroad.
