The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1882-01-26


Capt. Love of the steam tub Cdiliope landed
a man at the Vancouver dock, one of his
deck hands, brought from Portland that
morning, who sought admission to st. Jo-
seph's hospital. Mother Joseph declined to
receive him as his face was broken out in
red spots, and the man was taken in charge
by the Mayor and City Marshal, who hur-
riedly established pest-house near the 4th
Plain road, mile and half from the city,
whence the man was at once conveyed, with
Ben Wolf in charge to take care of him. 1t
was not until Tuesday that his ailment
could be distinguished from measles, and
then it became apparent that the extreme
caution of the authorities was proper in
every respect. Mayor Smith is using every
possible precaution to keep the case isolated,
and no danger from its spreading from this
case is apprehended. The goods of Brandy
brought over last week have been thoroughly
disinfected. The only harm which is likely
to come from the case we have is on the
Cdiliope, where many persons were exposed,
and the boat still goes back and forth with
out having been disinfected, so that every
passenger risks his life in going upon it.
Capt. Love on Tuesday was prohibited by
the authorities from landing within our city
limits, as we don't want any more of his
smallp ox. He is much blamed for bringing
this man away from Portland, where he
could just as well have been placed in
pest-house already established Our city
authorities have the only existing case cor
raled, and they will watch every boat to
prevent the introduction of any more. The
CaHiope will not be permitted to land here
any more until disnfected or quarantined as
it should be.
A POKER LOVING PRINCESS. this
heading the Reno. Nevada Gazette tells
how the Princess Sallie Winnemucca and
her new husband took in little game of
''draw" among the Piutes of Pyramid Lake
Reservation, while on their bridal tour; how
he lost $3.50, when she tried her hand and
lost IS, and in reply to some insinuaton that
she couldn't play poker she accused him of
losing $500 of hers in San Francisco in an
hour and half There is some serious mis-
take in all this for when Sallie was in Van
couver she was one of the leading Christians
she had $500 for that fellow to lose, as she
has not yet paid the Vancouver attorney for
procuring her divorce from her Sitwalder
husband. The Reno Gazette has evidently
been trying to deceive the public in this
matter.
