A BACK NUMBER CASE.
A BIG FURORE OVER A YELLOW
FEVER REPORT.
That Was Evidently Laid Ont in
Quarantine-The Damage Inn
medlately Rectihed.

The board OF health was hurriedly called
together yesterday afternoon to take some
action upon the report that Lake Charles
had re-established quarantine against
Houston upon the report from DR.. Athens
Of this city that there was case OF yell
low fever here.
The board was at loss to locate DR..
Athens. as none OF them had ever heard
Of any such doctor practlcing medicine
in Houston and the last city directory
failed to disclose that any one by that
name resided In Houston.
Detective Ellison was summoned before
tho board and sent out IN search OF the
man with whom II was intended to make
an example.
The detective was not long in locating
DR.. w. j. Athens, who is now in the en-
ployment Of the Orthwein. Ftzhugh Cot
ton company as their superintendent at the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas cotton ware
house.
He had perfect right to the title OF
| doctor, being licensed physician, but he
has not followed the practice of his pro-
| fession since his residence In Houston,
covering period of about one year.
He was surprised when the officer in
| formed him of his mission and his explana-
ton OF the part he had taken in the mat
ter was 80 PLAUSIBLE and entirely satisfac-
| tory as to completely mollify the board in
| its determination of making an example
OF DR.. Athens
| He explained to the officer and to City
Health Physician DR.. McElroy that when
DR.. Guiteras was here he had written a
letter to his father. who resides alt Lake
Charles. informing him that Dr. Guiteras
had been here and pronounced the exist
ance of yellow fever and that his CDr.
Athenso brother was then sick and he
probably had the same ailment that DR..
Guiteras had pronounced yellow fever.
| How Lake Charles could have quaran-
tined upon this letter is accounted for
only upon the hypothesis that the quar-
antine has cut them off from all communi-
cation from the outside world and in con-
sequence OF the quarantine this letter had
Just reached them and was their first IN
formation that any yellow fever had been
reported In Houston.
Or. Athens promised to rectify whatever
trouble this delayed letter had caused and
Immediately wired DR.. Perkins OF Lake
Charles to rectify the mistake.
The board CT health took no further az
ton In the matter, the above explanation
of DR.. Athens generating him from all
blame in the matter.

The board Of health met last night In
executive session to consider the pr.

ter.
After being In session for some little
time the board adjourned and authorized
the publication Of the following official
statement in connection with the matter;
"A statement having been received
from Lake Charles In effect that letter
had been received there from Or. Athens
of Houston, saying that his (Dr. hthensD
brother was suffering from yellow fever

the matter and have ascertained hat the
r,imor arose from jocullr remark Eade
