Rumors of Small Pox.

A great deal of excitement was caused
in the vicinity of Monticello and Com
munipaw avenue shortly after six o'clock
last evening, when a report got abroad
that Sing Lee, Chinese laundryman, who
keeps a laundry at No. II Monticello av-

pox. Police Captain Cox, who lives al
most opposite the laundry, heard of the
report, and notified the police of the Com

Dr. Everett went to the laundry, and
found the Chinaman lying on a mattress
in the rear room. His body was covered

Chinaman was suffering from some inter-

cured their laundry before the report got
abroad, are said to have burned it when
they heard the smallpox rumors.
