he purposed to quarantine all trunk lines
coming into Texas.
Pending a reply to this message the
court adjourned until p. m. when, after
considerable delay, DR.. Swearingen was
reached by telephone. He advised the.
board that In his judgment there was no
necessity for the institution Of a quaran-
tine by the county; that he had estab-
lished quarantine at Waskom. where the
Texas and Pacific enters the State, and
at Texarkana. in addition to guarantees
at the State line on the Southern Pacific
and at Logansport, La, but that no quar-
antine had been placed at Denison or at
Paris. as in his judgment this precaution
was unnecessary.
In view Of the above, the board decided
, to defer the matter OF establishing a quar-
| antine for the present. leaving 1t to the
county judge TO call the board together at
any time when, In his judgment, the en-
Urgency may present itself.
