COUNTY PHYSICIAN ANDERSON.
An Accusation of Neglect of INDECENT
Patients-Doctor's Denial.

Patients-Doctor's Denial.
A complaint was lodged with Clerk
Gray of the county commissioners
pauper committee yesterday arraigning
County Physician II. A. Anderson for
neglect of duty in not responding in due
season to an official direction to attend
a Mrs Fordyce, an INDECENT patient
living on Second East street, opposite
the joint city and county building. The
clerk stated that the county physician
had been regularly directed early Tues
day afternoon to make the professional
call, but it was not until yesterday
afternoon that he attended to the wom-
ans wants. The neighbors said her
condition was serious Clerk Gray also
stated that this was not the county
physicians first act of neglect.
When questioned about the matter
by Herald reporter DR.. Anderson said
that any accusation of neglect on his
part was the sheerest nonsense. He
had visited Mrs. Fordyce as he did all
the other of the many county patients
as soon as possible. In this instance
he knew the case was not of extreme
urgency and he took it up in it's order.
He found the patient suffering with la
grippe and attended to her wants.
