Mrs. Adams SuccumbS to the
Dread Disease.
IS THE THIRD VICTIM
DR.. Sullivan Has Treated Seventy
Patients Thirty Have Been
Discharged.

The third victim Of the smallpox cpl
demic died this morning at the pes
house. The victims name was Mrs. M
Adams, and she resided with her hus.
band at No. III West Silver street. She
was taken to the hospital, December 31st
suffering from continent malignant
smallpox, and DR.. Sullivan had very lit
tie hope Of saving her life from the first.
DR.. Sullivan, in al interview with or
Inter Mountain reporter this afternoon,
stated that seventy patients had been in
mates of the pest house since the break
ing out of the disease. OF this number,
thirty have been discharged as cured,
three had succumbed to the disease, and
about forty were now receiving his at
tention. Both hospitals are crowded to
their capacity and the doctor expects to
accommodate futur epatients by making
up beds on the floor for them. Three pa
TENTS were discharged today. Among the
patients discharged several days ago was
a man named McKinnon, who is par
alyzed . 1t has been the custom for the
patients, on being discharged, after hav-
ing been provided with new clothing, to
return to the city without assistance. Nc
kfnnOn of course, is unable to walk to
the city and as the doctor cannot make
arrangements with any one to haul him
to town, remains an unwilling guest at
the pest house.
The doctor states that he has treated a
number OF severe cases of the disease and
is very much pleased with the results.
AN the patients are doing nicely.

George Cooper was put through the pre-

in Justice Nichols court today and at the
conclusion of the hearing was bound over
to the district court, his bond being fixed
at 1000.
Early in the morning of the 30th of De-
cember, the prisoner entered the sleeping
apartment of George Quail at 23k East
Granite street, and made so much noise
in his manoeuvers that Quail awakened
and caught him. Being afraid the in
truder would not wait to be arrested if
given the freedom of the room, Quail
held him and called to a lodger in another
room to find a policeman, If he could and
request him to call at his earliest con-
vonience and a k Cooper into custody.
The lodger found an officer and Cooper
was taken to the county Jail.
At the hearing today Cooper offered no
defense.
