ship, PoweshielS county, who lost six
horses last week, has since lost five

blood poisoning from water. The
family used water from the same well

SMALL. .Pox has again developed in
the railroad camps along the line OF
the double tracking between Creston
and Murray. One day last week a
tramp applied for work at one of the
camps just west of Alton. He was
given employment, cleaned up and
after eating a hearty supper went to
bed. In the night he became very
sick. Fearing that he had small pox
or some other disease, he was fred out
of the camp. He walked to Alton and
made his bed in box car with three
other tramps. The next day he was
examined by Alton physicians, who
pronounced his case small pox of the
most violent form. The fellow was
broken out badly and is now in a dam
gerous condition. Creston is greatly
| alarmed. 1t was learned that the
tramp was in the yards there long
time prior to his visit to the camp and
a large number We're exposed. A pest
house was Immediately established at
Alton and the tramp taken there.
Every member of the railway camp
was exposed and it is feared progress
in the work will be greatly impeded.
| This is the second time small pox has
broken out in these camps.
