Christian Solomonson of Lake Lillian
went to the cities last Wednesday to
be operated upon for appendicitis.
He had suffered several attacks of the
disease, and an operation seemed to
be necessary. On Friday a message
WAS received of his death. 1t seems
that he was unable to stand the effects
of the chloroform. Shortly after it had
been administered to him and the doc
tors had started with the operation,
it was noticed that the chloroform
was having a bad effect upon him,
and they directed their efforts toward
restoring him to consciousness. Arti-
fetal respiration was kept up for
some time but in vain. Death resulted
almost Immediately. George Estrem
of this place went down Friday after
noon and brought the remains back,
and on Saturday they were taken to
Lake Lillian for burial. The funeral
was held Tuesday. Deceased was a
stepson of Ole Solomonson of Lake
Lillian, and was about q years of
age. ...... 1t was discovered last Fri
day that there were five cases of small
pox south of town, four cases at the
home of N. W. Peterson and one at
the home of G. O. Peterson. Both of
our local doctors had been called to
attend the infant child of G. O. Peter
son, and on last Thursday the case
appeared so suspicious that it was
thought best to have the secretary of
the State Board of Health come up
and make an examination. Accord
ingly Secretary Bracken came to At
water Friday and in company with
Doctors Archibald and Gibson went
out to Mr.. Peterson's. After an ex-
animation ofthe caseit was pronounced
smallpox. The doctors then proceed
ed to N. w. Peterson's where they
found four cases among the young
people of the family. Both families
are under strict quarantine, and it is
not thought probable that any more
cases will develop. The disease is
very light this year, the deaths result
ing therefrom being very few. It is
thought that Miss Esther Peterson be-
came exposed to the disease when in
Minneapolis a short time ago, and
that when she returned home she
brought the germs of the disease with
her.-Atwater Republican Press.
