danger of contagion.
The cases that now exist Will be iso-
lated and the town of Sterling rigidly

isolated and nothing left undone to
better the situation"
T DR.. Beatty endeavored to view the
matter in cheerful light, but he was
plainly anxious over the outcome. The
fact that absolutely no precautions
had been taken up to yesterday and the
further fact that the disease had had
every possible chance to spread, caused
DR.. Beatty great uneasiness. He hopes,
however, that even with the heavy ham
dicap the board is laboring under, the
trouble may be brought under control
without serious consequences.
Last night DR.. Beatty concluded that
his presence in Sanpete county would
be necessary. He, therefore, leaves for
Sterling this morning. He doesn't know
how long he will be away, but he Will
probably remain until his plans for
isolation and quarantining have been
fully carried out

METCALF DENIES 1T.
Declares the Charges Against Him
Are Made By an Enemy.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 20.--A dis
patch to the Times. fromf Cleveland, o.,
says: When General Metcalf was seen
at Elyria, twenty-five miles from Cleve-
land, O.. tonight, where he is visiting.
he said:
Il understand that the affidavit pre-
scented by Hall was merely signed "a
soldier That kind of an affidavit is
not paid any attention to. The matter
with Hall is that he did not get a pro-
motion. There is nothing in the charge
at all.
THE whole story was investigated
last spring by the Manila army author
tiles. and by Dean c. Worcester, a
member of the Philippine commission.
At that time the charges were found
to be utterly groundless.
This is the first time that my name
has been connected with the story. The
story first originated in a letter SOL
der boy wrote home, and some little
incident was greatly exaggerated by
this soldier boy. l can't account for
Halls action unless he feels resentment
against me because he was not recon-
member for promotion and expects to
injure me by it,

MAY BE INVESTIGATED.
Secretary Root Talks of the Charges
Against Colonel Metcalf.

Washington. Nov. 20.-The officials of
the war department are surprised to
hear of the charges made against Colo
mel Metcalf for whom very high opin-
ion is entertained in army circles.
Secretary Root expressed the belief
that the charges were not true. but said
he had no information regarding the
matter, of which he had not heard any
thing until given the press report In
view of the high rank of the officer
and of the explicit account regarding
the alleged crime contained in the aft
davits accompanying the charge, it is
expected that the officials will take
formal action with view to ascer-
tanning the accuracy of the published
statements.

SUSPECT AT EPHRAIM.
Dykes Sorenson Is Sick With Sus-
picious Symptoms.
lSnacial Cnrresnnrdfnce

Ephraim. Nov 20.-The smallpox
scare has reached this city in earnest
Yesterday afternoon it was discovered
that Dykes Sorenson was sick with
some disease that greatly resembled
smallpox. An investigation developed
the fact that about a week before he
was taken sick he had visited the home
OF john Thompson of Sterling. whose
son was the person who came home
from Canada or Montana with the dis
ease.
Dr. Jensen has quarantined the family
and the county physician will be call
ed to make an investigation. Miss
Clawson. the young lady who has been
teaching school at Sterling, came home
Saturday night and her family is also
quarantined. Considerable alarm is felt
on account of the Sorenson case as the
children have been attending school
since their father WAS taken sick
