One More Case,

There was one more case Of smallpox
reported to the city health officer last
night. The case reported was Jim
Whelan who has room at Mrs.
Tobin's lodging house on south Ell Pa
so street. DR.. Race went to see him
at once and reported that the case was
a very mild one and was really nothing
more than a well developed case of
varioloid.
Whelan will be sent to the pest
house today. His room will be we'll
fumigated. He says that he has no
idea when he came in contact with the
disease, but he has been working at
the Silver King saloon and it is
thought that he contracted it there.
There are many more wild reports
about cases here and there over the
city, but this morning HERALD re-
porter in company with DR.. Race hunt
ed two or three of these rumors down
and nothing was found in them a all.
One OF the strongest rumors that was
afiost last night was that there were
two more cases in the italian quarter
below the opera house. This rumor
like the others turned out to be moth

reported as having the disease were
