TWO CASES OF 1T.
House In south Wyoming street Quar-
antined Because of Diphth ,ria.

Two cases of malignant sore throat,
contagious in character, were reported
by DR. Blackburn yesterday afternoon.
at No. 115 South Wyoming street. City
Physician Evans considers the cases
diphtheria and, being in the midst of
the diphtheria district, he quarantined
the house.
Many people of South Butte think
there should be a guard placed at the
quarantined houses to prevent MEM
bers of the family from leaving and
neighbors from calling at the infected
houses, and there is no one to prevent
them. Mr.. Miller, at whose house yes
terday's case appeared, Is tailor, who
works up town every day. The other
diphtheria cases are said to be getting
along well.
There was one death from scarlet fe-
yer yesterday, Elsie Jones. the 2-year-
old daughter of Thomas w. Jones, of
South Butte. The undertaken who was
called to the house found two other
children in bed with the dead child.
The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock
this morning.
