velOped at that place. Several
persons were exposed and the fear
OK further spread of the contapion
seems fully justified by the facts.

it is very quaint. The Kenno-La

An Investigation Today Pronounces q
Case of This Disease There.

That smallpox exists along the
line of the Santa Fe through the
Indian Territory cannot longer be
denied.
The case or cases reported from
Pauls Valley have been denied, and
citizens of that town say positively
the dreaded scourge does not ex-
list there.
Not so with Wynnewood, how
ever. Her people say that the dis
ease exists there.
As yet there is only one ease, the
patient being Harrison White, a
man about 80 or 40 years of age.
has a family and has lived at Wyn-
newood for the past three years.
By occupation Mr.. White is trav-
elingman. He has been sick about
one week, and has been waited on
by the family physician, DR.. Wat
son, who this morning called In
Drs. Kell and Roberts.
The result of the investigation
was that the patient, Mr.. White,
had a genuine case of smallpox.
Although some have been ex-
posed to the case, we are informed
the number is few.
We learn that the mayor and
other officials of the town are using
all diligence to keep the disease
from spreading.2
While it is hoped they will b.
successful in their efforts, there i:
every chance that a few more cases
will come to light. y
In the meantime it becomes tn,
duty not only of Wynnewood. bu

THE smallpox case reported il

though. Better vaccinate.
