HEALTH OFFICERS ATTACKED.
Search for n SMALLPOX Subject In
the Town of Lake, wis.
(By Associated Press,)


MILWAUKEE,. Aug. H.-Another bat
tie between health officers and South
Side people occurred last night over a
suspected case of smallpox. 1t was re-
ported to the health authorities of the
Town Of Lake that two children were i'll
in that town. not far across the line of
the City limits from Eighth avenue. The
family had decamped from 1918 Midland
avenue last Friday. Yesterday after
noon the town authorities tried to get
into the house and verify the report that
smallpox existed there.
A crowd assembled and prevented the
off1cers from entering, and health off,
GERS of the town Of Lake and eight
deputy sherifrs went to the house with a
search warrant. They met Anton Bre-
czynski, the father OF the family, who
was armed With big club. which he
swung right and left among the crowd.
One blow struck DR.. Emil Fail on the
arm and injured him severely.
In the scuffie which followed one OF
the officers fired a shot. This brought
a bowling mob of women, armed with
CLOS, to the spot. They were furious,
and would have attacked the handful OF
officers had not the doctors discovered
that the suspected patient had measles
and not smallpox, and advised the off,
GERS to retreat. BrecZynski was placed
under arrest. but was afterwards re-
leased.
