A STRANGE DISEASE.
People Dying by the Hundreds in Butte,
Montana.

People Dying by the Hundreds in Butte,
Montana.
An extraordinarily fatal disease pre-
walls in Butte, Mon. 1t is epidemic,
and by many people of that city it is
thought to be the plague Those who
hold the theory that it is that disease,
are Of the opinion that it was brought
there by soldiers returning from the
Philippines. 1t is said that these sol
diers brought with them quantities of
articles in which disease germs could
be carried easily.
There have been thus far over $50
deaths, and there are more than 25O
i'll with the disease. The death rate
is extremely high. In fact but few re-
cover, and only those who have the
disease in it's lightest form. OF forty
eight patients in one hospital, forty
four died. The peopleare leaving the
city, being terror stricken.
The lungs are attacked first and res
peration soon becomes extremely diff
cult. A symptom is extreme pain in the
head. For two or three days the heart
shows signs of weakness, and then
death follows quickly. Immediately
after death the body tnrHs black and
decomposition. sets in, necessitating
p ompt burial
There is, of course, no authority for
saying the disease is the plague, or a
form OF it, bat it puzzles the local ply
sicians. They have been unable to
diagnose il satisfactorily, or to find
remedy for IL. Some OF them think it
Is new form OF pneumonia, bat they
nave no special reason for saying it is.
