BLACK SMALLPOX
-FOUR CASES AT SPADRA-sIM-

Every Precaution Being Taken to Stop
the Spread of the Dread
Disease

POMONA, July 27-The experienced
smallpox nurse sent out from Los Angeles
some time ago to take care of the victims
near Spadra appears to have prevaricated
in regard to being an immune, and is now
down with the disease himself. His life
is despaired of. 1t appears the disease is
of the most malignant type and known as
black smallpox. 1t became necessary to
guard the place where the old lady died
yesterday, as ignorant relations were bent
on visiting the corpse. One of her sons,
living here, was even willing to remain at
the quarantine station and risk dying OF
the disease, II he only could see his moth
er. The old lady was buried at an early
hour this morning on the hillside near
where she died.
DR.. Kellogg of Chino, who has had this
dreaded disease, is attending the patients
and doing heroic work to stay its progress.
There are now four patients. The first
victim, the cause Of all the trouble, Is
fast recovering. Besides these, in an
other house, are Quarantined family of
five who were exposed some days ago, and
as a precautionary measure are being
closely guarded.

BLIND MANS BUFF,
The Origin of This FavOrite Sport
Childhood and Youth,

The Origin of This FavOrite Sport of
Childhood and Youth.
This favorite sport Of childhood and
youth is of French origin and very high
antiquity, having been introduced into
England in the train Of the Norman
conquerors It's French name, Colin
Maillard, was that of brave warrior,
the memory of whose exploits still lives
in the chronicles of the middle ages.
In the year 500 Liege reokoned among
its valiant chiefs one Jean Colin. He
acquired the name MaiIlard from his
chosen weapon being a mallet, where.
with in fight he used literally to crush
his opponents. In one of the feuds
which were of perpetual recurrence in
those times he encountered the Count
de Lourain in pitched battle, and, so
runs the story, in the first onset Colin
Maillard lost both his eyes, He ordered
his esquire to take him into the thickest
OF the fight, and, furiously brandishing
his mallet, did such fearful execution
that victory soon declared itself for him.
When Robert of France heard of these
feats at arms, he lavished favor and
honors upon Colin, and so great was
the fame of the exploit that it was COM
memorated in the pantomimic repre-
sensations that formed part of the rude |

degrees the children learned to act it
for themselves, and it took the form Of
q familiar sport.
The blindfolded pursner, as, with
bandaged eyes and extended hands, he
gropes for victim to pounce upon,
seems in some degree to repeat the ac-
tion of Colin MaiIlard, the tradition Of
which is also traceable in the name,
