Grand Forks Herald: DR.. H. D.
Quarry Of the state board of health
returned last evening from Lakota,
near where, in the family of Mr..
Feeney, smallpox has broken out. Mrs.
Feeney and the even children have
had the olsease. Two of the children
are dead, three convalescing. two have
fully recovered, and Mrs. Feeney was
never i'll enough to be confined to her
bed. The family reside five miles
north OF Lakota and all who have been
exposed in the ne%ighborhood and in
Lakota have been isolated, and every
p~recaution has been taken to prevent
contagion.
The disposition shown by every one
in me vicinity is very c~onsiderate in
that the efforts of the doctors to stamp
out the disease has been warmly sec
onded by all. AS yet there is not
a single case in Lakota, and as a result
OF the prompt and vigorous steps tax
en- there is slight probability of any
spread of the disease from the fact
that the form is very light and every
precautionary measure possible has
been taken. Dr.. Quarry feels greatly
treasured over the situation, and while
he will not permit any relaxation of
vigilance till all possibility of an cpl
demic is over, he does not apprehend
any serious results.

boys had started from their home in

paid literally for seeing the elephant

watch for 81, all the money they had
left. A passenger on the boat took
pity on their penniless condition and
gave them 81 for the watch. Their
destination was Red Wing, Mimi, and
this dollar supplied them with food
until they arrived at Chicago, which
took six days, during which time their
