WILMOT. S. D., April 23-(Special)-
DR.. McNutt, of Aberdeen, who went to
Sisseton Saturday to investigate the
charges made that smallpox existed in
that city has made his examination and
reports that there are 173 cases of the
disease in the county, all tributary to
that city. The county board Of health
has issued orders Quarantining twenty
townships, and men have been stationed
. on the different roads 20 see that the
order is enforced In his investigation
the doctor found that no steps had been
taken to eradicate the disease, and things
were in a deplorable shape, no fumigat-
ing of houses or clothing had been done
and that the disease had been allowed to
run unchecked in nearly all instances.
Steps have now been taken to combat the
disease and the state board will see that
the county board of health performs it's
duty in stamping out the disease. The
government has ordered Indian Agent
Johnson to have all Indians at once vac
cinated, and it is hoped that the cases
now among the Indians wiIlISoon be I'M
der control. No mails are arHGy;ed to
leave the quarantined district
