~" N"h", oePt. 60 he O1nclal rec
ord OF the board of health officials tonight
at p. m. showed total of twelve case,
since p m. yesterday and two deaths
Inc new cases are for the most par,
widely scattered and several of them al
least do not seem to have been local in
lection. IT is apparent that the microbe.
brought over in baggage from Biloxi and
Ocean Springs are still incubating and
that many more cases of fever are to be
looked for. The system of quarantine and
sanitation here is unquestionably goood
showing good results, and sickness is con-
fined to houses where fever existed OF
where premises Immediately adjoin. This
is the record for today:
Deaths:
DR.. Joseph Lowell, aged q, 1911 St.
Charles avenue; Miss Elizabeth Nuss-
baum, aged II, 1900 Galvaz street.
New cases:
L. w. p. Freret, $500 Hurst; Louis
Fritch, 1889 Feliciana; Park G. Hands,
1927 Octavia; Miss Sadie Hutchings, Az
Marais; Mrs. Warde, 1926 Josephine;
Mrs. Chalmers, 526 Belle Castle; Waldo
Pitkin, 1880 Esplanade. .
DR.. Lovell's death has been expected
for four days. For that length of time be-
, fore dissolution came DR.. Lowell lay in
comatose state, and all efforts of the ply
sicians to rally him proved unavailing. The
attending physicians had succeeded IN
breaking the fever, but the illness of the
doctor was complicated, and he had be-
come so exhausted that there was no re-
sponse to the most powerful medicines.
Dr. Lowell contracted the disease while
attending a number of patients who were
suffering with the Ocean Springs fever
He overworked himself and when stricken
his constitution had been so much sha'
tered that the chances were aSalnSI MS

The body of DR.. Lowell was promptly

inc he'd clothes ETC., was observed III or-
dor to prevent spread of the disease.
