WINS wired For by the
County Judge.

| Columbus. Texas March l0.--A clash oil
authority has occurred In the conduct OF
quarantine restrictions in force here on ac-
| count OF smallpox. Representations having
| been made to the health officer March 4
that a number OF persons had been in the
| housb with Harvey Hope. after the fever OF
smallpox had appeared. he reported all
their names to the mayor of the city. who
ordered them to be quarantined.
Constable L. S. Hope, one of the num-
Der an uncle to Harvey Hope, objectins, a
warrant OF arrest was issued by the mayor
the next day and served upon him by the
city mafshal, since which time he has been
detained at his home on his word of honor
until yesterday.
Yesterday he applied to District Judge
hennon for a writ of habsas corpus to be
released. On trial he was released, the fol-
lowing reasons given by the court:
The applicant was released for the fol-
lowing rea ons:
/. The court holds that the mayor or
other health officer has no authority
TO issue a warrant to detain a citizen
unless he has before him an affidavit
that the suspected person has been in
contact with some person having tho
disease; and,
2. That warrant issued by the
mayor or other health officer without
such affidavit is void.
3. Although such warrant may be
void the person in custody, by virtue of
such void warrant, will be remanded to
the custody of the quarantine officers
ii il appears to the court chat his en-
largement will endanger the health of
the community.

applicant had not been In contact with
any person having smallpox. under
such conditions as would warrant the
belief that his enlargement would en-
danger the health OF the community.
