DIED OF LUMPY Jaw.

Chicago, Feb. 22.-Peter L. Garvey,
so years old, died at the county hospi-
tai last night after having undergone
an operation for what DR.. ]. G. Rob-
ertson of that institution diagnosed as
hmpy jaw. DR.. Robertson knows of
only one other case in which human
was afflicted with lumpy jaw. Garvey
had been suffering from the laignant
disease for more than a year. He is
supposed to have contracted the dis
ease while working among cattle at
the stock yards. More than year
ago Garvey had tooth extracted from
his left jaw and it is the opinion of the
physician at the hospital that a germ
of the disease became lodged in the
cavity, causing the infection.

He has a wife and children in Texas.
Three hundred dollars reward is Of
fered by the Governor of Texas for his

up by his arrest. He said that him
self and half sister were out riding
when she fell out of the wagon and
the wheels ran over and killed her. He
burned the body and escaped.
Kugadts crime was committed near
Taylor, Texas, particulars of which
were published in the Light in a spc-
cial dispatch from that place at the
time of the horror. When the charred
remains of Kugardts sister were found
end everything turned suspicion tow
ard him as he was the last one she
was seen With, he left the country and
the sheriff and detectives followed
him to Galveston where they lost all
trace of him.
His sitter was an old maid and had
considerable money. She resided with
Kugadt's family and at the time Of her
death was contemplating trip to Ger.
many, her native country, having al
ready engaged passage on the steam
ship through the local agents at Tenn

agents at the time had a great deal to
do toward surrounding Kugadt with
the suspicion of his sisters murder,

to not want his sister take the trip as |
she had to have some money which he |
owed her at the time. and Kugadt |
seemed to not be able to pay it, or did |
not want to, one or the other. He SEEM
ed of the opinion that if she went to
Germany she would not return, and
before going he would be compelled to
pay her the money, while IL she re-
NAMED he would not have II to pay.

Before That Body

AS soon as the ordinance taking from

Cowles. Health officer Powers was also
present.
There had been a short preliminary
conference, and as soon as the roll was
called Dr. Moore offered the following
resolution:
Whereas. The council today passed an
ordinance providing that employees in
the health Office shall be appointed by
that body;
Whereas, 1t is impossible for the board
of health to maintain the efficiency of
its department demanded by the citizens
of Los Angeles, when the board is not
placed in position to appoint the men it
thinks best fitted for the positions and
to remove them at its will when they
fail to attend strictly to their duties;
Whereas. A certain independence and
INSTRUMENTATION will be sure to exhibit
itself among deputies when they are not
held directly responsible by the body un-
der which they serve, being unques-
tionably dangerous condition in de-
partment on which depends the health
of city so large as ours:
Whereas, The board of police commits
sioners, the board of fire commissioners
and the board of park commissioners
are each given full sway in selecting
the men they think will best serve in
maintaining the efficiency of the depart
ment of city government with which it
has been intrusted; and
Whereas. This board has the very best
interests of the city at heart and is do
ing all in its power to maintain the
highest standard of health and sanitary
regulation possible. and in working to
! this end 1t has right to select the men
who shall aid it most in its labors. There
fore, be it
Resolved, That the board of health
enters its most solemn protest against
the council appointing the employees OF
the health office Robbed of appointive
and removal power this board would be
rendered almost useless.
The resolution was adopted by unan-
imous vote and without debate, and on
motion it was decided that copy should
be sent to the council and committee
of the board appear before that body
and protest against the action taken.
Mayor Snyder stated that DR.. Cowles
| had expressed his views over the tele-
| phone and was in thorough accord with
| the sentiments expressed in the resolu-
| ton. He therefore appointed as the
committee Drs. Cowles, Moore and Col
| burn with the health officer, Or. Powers.
| DR.. Salisbury reported that Mrs Anna
| Bushnell had passed a satisfactory ex-
| animation, and she was granted a Ii
! cense to practice midwifery, whereupon
the board adjourned.
