proven himself an ABLE athlete winning

at last Coffey county is up against the
real thing in the way of smallpox
There are at least ten cases in Key
West and Otturnwa townships, about
ten miles north of town.
Three BAIL homes in Key West are
Guaranteed and the family of John
quarantined. But they were not quar-
antined until scores OF people, posi-
bly, hundreds. had been exposed.
There was a case in that neighborhood
a few weeks ago, but it was not called
smallpox.
At first the disease at Bazil's was not
called smallpox and many were exposed.
Now there is no doubt as to what it is.
And the worst Of it is that it is in a vir-
ulent form. One death occurred Satur-
day night and others are said to be very
sick.
