Two Cases of Smallpox at Durham, Both

Especial to News and observer.)

Especial to News and Observer
Durham, N. c., April 1.-Two cases of
small pox, both darkes have been dis
covered here. Saturday, Eli Harrington,
whose home is on Red Cross street, in the
southern part of Durham, was found to
have the disease. He was at once quar-
antined in his house, but sometime during
Saturday night made his escape. 1t was
intended to send him to the pest house
Sunday If located he will be confined in
such a manner that he cannot get away
again The second case discovered Sun
day morning, was Andy Womack, in the
employ of the Interstate Telephone
Company Womack was carried to the
pest house on Sunday afternoon. Both of
the two darkies were exposed to num-
her of people before they broke out.
Everything is being done by County
Physician Brooks to prevent spread of
the disease.
Sunday morning the residence of AS
sstante Postmaster D. c. Mangum, corn
err of MrMannen and Proctor streets, was
badly damaged by fire. Nearly all the
furniture and household goods were
saved The fire is thought to have
originated from defective 1ue. The
Fire Department subdued the flames,
which had gained good Roadway before
they reached the scene. Mr. Mangum had
$500 insurance on the house, which will
scarcely cover the loss.
