ARKANSAS CITY, April pa smallpox
epidemic now threatens Guthrie and other
towns in the new territory OF Oklahoma.
The excitement caused by the knowledge of
the brackish poisonous water of the river Is
not circumstance to the fear that has se'Z
ed upon the minds of people in regard to
this fell destroyer. It seems that a man
named Joseph Ellsworth, of Kansas City,
more recently from Leadvile, was taken on
Wednesday On his return from Guthrie and
Oklahoma City, and is now quarantined at
a house near the Santa Fe Railroad shops. II
is reported that this man stood in line at the
Land Office at Guthrie for four hours while
waiting to file his claim on Tuesday, thus
exposing 10 an attack all those with whom he
came in contact at that time. As the trains
are crowded every day between Arkansas
City, Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Purcell,
the disease may have already spread to these
towns The people who have heard of this
case are anticipating an epidemic. The first
outbreak will result in nearly depopulating
these embryo cities in Oklahoma. r..Moore,
of Arkansas City. who is in attendance on
Ellsworth, says it is genuine Case OF small
poz, and the people are excited over the
matter although the officials say they eau
undoubtedly keep it from spreading. They
talk quite seriously Of establishing qnaran
tine on the Oklahoma region, "a they have
dubbed the new territory.
GUTHRIE, Okla, April GA simeon
swept the desert yesterday. and Guthrie is
buried in red dust. The wind rose at dawn,
sweeping down from the cloudless sky, and
the red sand of the plain was driven before
it ali day in singing, sitting masses. Tents
collapsed, roofs were raised and everything
light and loose was blown away.
