their own suspicious cases.
Mobile did right to refuse to al
low the socalled experts from New
Orleans to look into its health be-
cause they might be stupid enough
to proclaim malaria or dangue that
exist in Mobile to be yellow fever.
The country at large does not
seem to put much reliance in the
board of health, as nearly every
town in the state has established
quarantine against New Orleans,
even in the face of the fact that
the board of health had insisted
that there was no authentic case
of yellow fever in New Orleans.
We are told that the twelve sus-
picious cases are doing we'll, that
some of them are out, but they
and the premises are strictly guar
ded and disinfected, but not a
word about the disease. IL it was
not yellow fever what is the de-
sease, why don't they proclaim it!
The pressure, it seems, has
been So great, and the board Of
health and committee of expert
having lost the confidence of thu
public throughout the country
that Monday morning they repor
ted half of the twelve doubtful
cases to be yellow fever, and ais
reported case of yellow fever ex
listing at the Corner of Esplanad
. and Miro street. The board o
!. health, therefore, announces sevel
q cases of yellow fever in New Or

QUARANTINE.

Just as soon as the news of the
twelve suspicious cases of yellow
fever in New Orleans reached this
place, Friday evening last, the
board of health established quar-
antine against New Orleans, BIZ
loxi, Ocean Springs and all other
infected and suspected places.
Mayor Liable has communicated
by telegraph with all towns sur
rounding us and has established
quarantine against all those that
did not have proper quarantine
against infected places.

BULLDOZING.

1t is likely that the management
of the Oil Works will experience
some labor trouble again this sea-

trouble will be in intimidating the
colored laborers by threats secret

ing note:
You are here notify that The fret ne

have his ass wheep and dreven away
from Here and FIRST white man you
shore that to your ass will Paw for It,"
There is no signature to the
note, but it is easily seen that ii

There is no doubt that there is
in this town a disturbing element
among the white laborers who
is hard to check or control not
withstanding the determination OF

dren through a writ of habeas corpus.

DURRANr TO GET HIS DUES.
The Supreme Court Declines to inter
veue to Save Him.

Veue TO save Him.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-The United
States supreme court today affirmed the
decision of the circuit court of Califor-
MIA refusing writ of habeas corpus to
William Henry Theodore Durrant, under
sentence of death for the murder of
Miss Blanche Lamont. at San Francisco
in April, 1895.
The case has attracted attention
throughout the whole United States,
and today's decision permits the law to
take its course with the condemned
man.
Chief Justice Fuller announced the
courts decision, but made no remvrks
save to cite few authorities on which
the court based the decision.
The decision of the Durrant case was in
response to the motion of Attorney
General Fitzgerals to dismiss the case
or affirm the decision of the court be-
low. The chief justice in rendering the
opinion of the court, INDUCED in no
comment whatever, merely remarking
that the decision of the circuit court
was affirmed on the authority of the
decisions of the court in previous cases.
Attorney General Fitzgerald was
present in the court room when the
opinion was rendered, and said it would
| insure Durrant's hanging.
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1897-11-09

cision was not expected here. District
Attorney Barnes, who conducted the
sensational trial, the results of which
was the conviction of Durrant for the
murder of Blanche Lamont, was much
pleased with the decision of the supreme
court. 1t paves the way for the execu-
tion of FIVE other murcerers who have
been sentenced to death, but whose ex-
ecution has been deferred, pending de
cision in the Durrant case.
