MASON CITY, Ia, July 23.-The small
pox scare in this city and county has some
what abated. Yesterday the board of

city who have not yet been vaccinated,

what exaggerated. May so Christian
Detrick, with his wife and four
children. arrived from Germany and
shortly after his wife was taken sick.
Being feeble woman it was thought that
her sickness was due to fatigue caused by
the long journey. A German minister and
physician was called in and pronounced the
disease smallpox and enjoined the greatest
care lest the contagion should spread. Not
withstandng this the family visited and re-
ceived visits from neighbors. Finally Mrs.
f. Brown caught the disease and took to
her bed. The township was notified at
once and the trustees Immediately notified
the state board of health. The
local board quarantined the district
but was powerless to enforce its orders.

Fire.

About 1890 Thursday evening, when
the wind was blowing a stiff gale, the cry
of fire was raised on Fourth and Arnold
and the alarm bell soon brought the de-
partment to the scene. The fire was in
the rear part of Christie's blacksmith
shop, corner of Third and Arnold. Ow-
ing to the extreme darkness the depart
ment did not get to work very rapidly,
and when a stream was obtained it was
discovered that the cistern vas almost
empty. The engine was then taken to
the cistern OH Kelley and Third. In
the meantime water was carried in buck
cts and poured upon the fire, which was
lnder and in the floor. The fire was
o extinguished and the excitement
was over. The damage is slight, chiefly
from water.
Later-Upon personal examination of
the Arnold avenue cistern Friday
it was found to contain at least eight feet
of water, and the probable cause of not
getting water was a kink in the suction
hose, or some oy~er-zealous person open
ing the valve.
