three years ago. her maiden name being

ALLEGED SCARLET FEVER CASE
Has Caused a Peculiar Legal and Med
zeal TangIe mt HagerstOwn.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HAGERSTOWN, Ind, Sept. ia case
full Of interest to local authorities and all
citizens, and medical men, especially, has
developed over a case of alleged scarlet
fever. DR.. n. F. Canaday, who is health
officer for the town, was called to treat a
child sick with disease which the doctors
pronounced scarlet fever. At the end of
week the child was worse, and the parents
decided to call another physician. Accord
ingly DR.. c. l.. Stottlemyeri a resident ply
stefan, was called. He said the child did
not have scarlet fever. but cholera infant
UNI and acute Brights disease. He changed
the treatment, but the child rapidly became
worse, and two days afterward died. DIR.
Canaday had quarantined the house, put
up a scarlet fever card, and observed all
lawful precautions to prevent the spread
of the disease. When DR.. Stottlemyer took
charge the neighbOrS no longer observed
the required precautions. and came and
went indiScriminately. The scarlet FEVER
card was taken down, by whom is not
known, and the public came and went as
in a case of ordinary disease.
DIR. Canaday, as health officer must issue
burial permits for all cases in his JuriSdic-
ton, and he refused TO issue a certificate
on the return made out by Dr. Stottlemyer
for the reaSn, as he stated, that it did not
correctly describe the disease with which
the child died. There was much cOntrover-
sy before the burial permit was finally is
Sueu. AFTER the burial LIT. CdUdudy
voked the aid of the law to straighten out
the tangle. and Prosecutor Bond came over
from Richmond and caused the arrest of
DIR. Stottlemyer on the charge of taking
down warning card from an infected
house. The trial was set for Tuesday, but
the prosecuting attorney sent word last
night to the justice of the peace to nolle
the case, as he did not think there was
anything to justify prosecution. The jus
tice of the peace, NJ. w. Grills, refuses to
follow the suggestion Of the prosecuting
attorney, and the case is yet on the docket.
Jacob Hutchinson and John Working, the
former being the father of the child, were
cited to appear before the same court TO
answer similar charges.
The local authorities cannot understand
why the prosecutor made his sudden
change of front in the case, and declare
that they are determined the matter shall
be heard in court. The secretary of the
State Board of Health, DIR. Hurry, has
been appealed to, and he is expected TO
come here and personally conduct the aX-
animation in the case to determine whether
the law has been violated.
