UNFOUNDED RUMORs.
Rumors the past few days have CON
nected the East Tennessee road and re-
turning refugees in an unpleasant manner.
The road was charged with bringing ref
ugees into Brunswick against Surgeon
Aurray's orders The roads officials
deny any knowledge of such violation, and
SURGEON Murray says he thinks the road
Is acting fairly. He believes Conductor
McCreary, who has charge of the Bruins
wick train. is acting squarely and not
bringing passengers down.
Surgeon Murray says tonight that if
the refugees will trust him to care for
their property and not ruin
IL, their confidence will not be
abused. He will destroy nothing
but will air the bedding in freezing
weather and wash all the clothing of a
washable nature. Returning refugees
who desire to perform this duty under
government supervision will be permitted,
but Surgeon Murray will insist that it be
properly done. From close study the
MORNING News correspondent can assure
refugees that Surgeon Murray will treat
their property carefully and pay for any
goods that may be ruined. He is a
humane man, who conducts his campaign
against epidemiCs and the return of the
disease at a future date in quiet system
attic and effective manner without any dis
play Of power or bOmOastiC Stye of
orders. Although holding a special COM
mission from President Cleveland to con-
duct this campaign, few knew it, being a
man not given 70 boasting of his AUTHORITY
The health board are acting thoroughly in
accord with him. and the refugees should
aid them IN disinfecting Brunswick. Any
refugees returning before Surgeon Muir
ray gives them permission will be refused
government aid in the shape Of physi
clans, nurses and medicines in case they
get sick

MORNING News correspondent could not
thc.dlly verify the rumOr tonight. Sur
geon Murray said he knew nothing about
any one escaping from the camp, anc
United States Marshal l.. J. Leavy, who
was after luhO, was not at home when
the MORNING NEWS correspondent called

would not allow the correspondent t
