The officials are at sea as to the origin

There is a possibility that the victims
brought the germs in their clothes to Or
wood from some point heretofore infected.
but the nearest one is Durrant, where the
epidemic touched last year, and even on
this theory the warm weather should have
brought out the fever.
Orwood is far from the railroad and the

brought by that means A thorough in

There Is no disquieting news from any
other points save Orwood.
