Remains Cremated Today at Maullola
and Late Residence VIII be Burned.
A Native Victim.

Mrs George r. Boardman died short
~ before o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Thief act was announced a few minutes
later by the Board of Health and the
news spread about town. Alarm was re-
kindled bit but was nothing like on
Monday.
The afternoon papers gave out the in
formation that the lady was improved
Such was the case at very last reports.
Soon after a sudden relapse came.
DR.. Anger sent the facts at once to
DR.. Wood. The latter was surprised at
the news as much as everybody else.
Dr. Anger, the physician of Mrs.
Boardman, wishes it stated that he be-
came convinced in his own mind on
Sunday that the case was one of plague
and nothing else. To get a corrobora-
tive opinion he called in DR.. Taylor and
DR.. Day who agreed with the diagnosis
The report that the patient may have
had blood poisoning was an error, and
doubtless arose from the fact that she
improved for a time under DR.. Auger's
treatment.
Mrs. Boardman first showed plague
symptoms Saturday afternoon. DR.. Au-
ger became suspicious, reported to Mr.
BOardman that the case was a serious
one and asked for a conference. Dr.
Day was called in and he agreed that
the case was suspicious. Sunday morn
ing the patient was better under the
treatment given, but there was a slight
relapse later in the day. Monday there
again was Improvement, and continued
to II o'clock Tuesday morning. In the
meanwhile the swellings had become
very pronounced and the identity of the
disease was established beyond doubt.

On Monday, when most rational, Mrs.
BOaTdman gave DR.. Anger her opinion
as to how she contracted the disease.
She first told the story of the rat in
Jordan's stor. when found I in
spected the dead ANIMAL" said Mrs.
BOardman, but did not touch it.
had the japanese remove it in a paste
board cover and warned him not to
touch it," Mrs. Boardman concluded
with the opinion that there was a con-
nectiOn between this rat and her case,
but i'm what precise way she could not
determine.
Early last evening the autopsy was
begun in the presence of the Boards
physicians. 1t was announced quite late
that there were unmistakable evidences
of plague. The remains We're this
morning cremated al Mauliola. Persons
in the house on Kinau street occupied
by the Boardmans were this morning
quarantined. 1t has been decided by
the Board that the Boardman house
shall be burned and it will be formally
condemned.
Mrs. BOardman was a native of Mas
sachusetts, aged 46. She was very pop.
lar in social circles and was quite prom
inent in church and charitable work of
the city.

evening at a house on River street be-
low Kaumakapili church. DR.. Howard

body was removed to the morgue.
This man had been working with
about fifty others under DR.. Pratt and
Mr.. Towse in the infected district.
