Seufert threatened al kinds Of law
suits for time and that he is hardly
cooled of yet.
The trouble commenced at O'Clock
Friday afternoon when an employee OF
the health department came down and
nailed up in z conspicuous place on The
premises. the yellow flag which is the
sign of smallpox. There was quite
scene. Seuffert came out and wanted
to know why the flag was being put
up. He is said TO have used some very
strong language and a lot of it. The
officer explained to him that the flag
was being put up because Dr. King.
the health commissioner. having heard
that smallpox existed IN the family an6
that Mrs. Seuffert had the first svmp-
toms of it. had ordered the house
guaranteed.
But the man became enraged and
made many threats. He would not
have the flag up. However. It was put
up and it remained up until yesterday
morning.
Dr.. Giesy went down to make the ex-
animation and he found that the
woman did not have symptoms OF the
disease so he ordered the nag removed
and it was done

He said last night that Mrs. Seuffert
had been exposed to the case of the
Larson girl on Pitt street. She becan-
sick and thinking that it might be-
smallpox, called DR.. Bower. AS he did
not want 10 expose his other patients
20 the disease by attending Mrs. Seuf-
fert, he asked DR.. Giesy to take the
case. He also reported to DR.. King
who was just leaving for Minneapolis
DR.. King at once wrote an order for
the house TO be Quarantined. This DR..
! Giesy said was done on the report that
! was made by the family itself. which
called DR.. Bower and thought that
Mrs. Seuffert had the disease.
He said that in reality she did show
/ symptoms which were the same as the
first symptoms of smallpox. But he
found as her case developed that she
/ was merely sick with a cold.
Dr. Giesy said that the flag was put
up as in all cases of the same kind and
that in this instance it was done on the
suspicious of the family.
Whether or not Mr.. Seuffert will be-
gin a suit for damages as had been
intimated is not known. DR.. King viii

her house mortgaged, and she was on the

house Of kinsfok, and went practically into
the business at which she had played too
long. She was pump, rosy and motherly,
with great soft hands, a tender heart and a

ethereal Penelope and the slight, nervous
Estella, but her very dissimilarity was an
