Mra. Boardmans Case.
one af the most serious suspected
cases OF plague reported at the Board
of Health yesterday was tina, of Mrs
George Boarlman, who is in charge OIL
the art department al Jordans dry
goods stores on Fort street. After q
long consultation yesterday morning ir
which several physicians took part, II
was decided that the unfortunate WON.
an showed symptoms of the plague, and
President Wood had guards posted
around the residence premises Of Mrs
BOardman, above Kinau street, near
Eapiolani. The announcement of
plague symptoms developing in Mrs.
Boardman caused a feeling of appre-
hension to spread over the city.
As far as could be learned the cause
has been laid to rats, several of which
are said to have been found in Jordan s
store. Whether Mrs. Boardmnn came
In contact with the rats or not is un-
known, but her symptoms. 1t is said,
are traced to the rodents. Two nurses
are in attendance on Mrs Boardman,
while the physicians keep a watchful
eye upon every movement of the pa
tient. The community was shocked
beyond measure upon hearing the
alarming news and scant hopes are ex-
pressed that the disease in Mrs. Board
mans case can be checked. Until some
change for the worse takes place Mrs.
Boardman will remain in her resi-
dence.

The Fire Department yesterday fOrn-
noon swept with fire the Ahlo row of
tumbled- down structures, and also the

of Health every frame shack from
