by armed men, lest they should obey
a natural impulse and flee from the
place, spreading contagion and disease.
Eight people are now down with the
disease and one death has resulted. No
new cases have developed within the
last 72 hours, and the physicians hope
that its progress has been checked tenn
porarily if not entirely. Every precau-
ton is being taken by the county Off
Gals to prevent its further spread and
TO hold the disease inside the circle all
ready infected. A large and sufficient
force guards the village night and day
and whoever attempts to leave does so
at peril of life. Two physicians have
charge of the patients and the SANTA

service. The cost to the county is very
considerable. having run over $4,000 to

spent in building canals over $SI, 900, 900.
