Shot Trying to Escape


John Swanson. lumberman. whose
home is supposed to be in Michigan,
was shot and instantly killed while
attempting to escape from the North
ern Lumber company's camp, three
miles from Sparta, in an endeavor to
Tee from smallpox.
The disease appeared at the camp,
in which are employed about $50 men,
and the foreman at once armed 20 of
the men with rifles, and instructed
them to allow no one to leave the
place, as he did not care to spread the
disease.
Swanson ventured out several times
during the day, but always returned
when one of the guards pointed his
rifle at him.
Late in the afternoon, when it APP
peared that almost every man in camp
might catch the smallpox, Swanson
again ventured forth. He was ordered
to return, but refused, and started to
run. AS he did so the rifle of one of
the guards cracked and the fugitive
fell dead, with bullet in his heart.
At the same instant, it is said, several
other guards fired at him.
