DIED OF DIPHTHERIA.
Zeita Belle, Daughter of Police Ser
geant Wire, the Victim.

Zeita Belle, aged s years. child of
Police Sergeant Frank c. Wire, died
yesterday morning of diphtheria.
1t is intimated that at no time since
the now dead child was attacked by a
malignant form of diphtheria last Sun
day had medical attendance been sum-
moned, and because of the fact that
Sergeant Wire and his wife are Chris
tan Scientists some comment has been
INDUCED in. The sergeant'S eXplana-
ton, however, would indicate that
there is no ground for criticism, as he
thought the child was suffering from
mumps, which is epidemic.
However. the nature of the case is
of this sort: Undertaken Joseph Will
liam Taylor reported the death of Zeita
Belle Wire TO Health officer Daily
yesterday morning. By referring to his
record of contagious diseases, the ply
stefan found that he had been notified
of no such case. He started at once
for the Wire residence at SO l street.
between First and Second streets, and
found that not only had the deceased
been a sufferer from malignant diph-
iberia. but that the two other children
of the Wire family were dangerously
i'll with the same disease. DR.. Daily
placed rigid quarantine upon the resi-
dence.
When seen yesterday afternoon, DR..
Daily said that the episode had caused
a little uneasiness in the neighborhood,
as he had understood that several
children had visited the Wire resi-
dence since the prevalency of the dis
ease in that quarter.
Il asked the sergeant why he had
not reported the case. He explained
that the child was taken ill last Sun
day with what they had termed the
mumps, or. as it was exactly put, the
little girl had caught it He said that
he had no idea the disease was diph-
iberia, and really did not know it was
necessary to report the matter. 1 look
upon the affair as unfortunate, because
of the stories about visiting children.
Mr. and Mrs. Wire deny that any
children had come to the place. which
1 hope is the fact, for the safety of the
community.
The BODY of the dead child was
ordered buried at once. 1t found a
resting place in the city cemetery.
