AS TO SPOTTED FEVER.
Facts and Theories Concerning the
Mysterious Masady.

A remarkable interest is evinced in
the spotted fever investigation. 1t is
to be devoutly hoped that discoveries
will be made which will result in erad-
icating the disease.
Theories without numbers are ad-
vanced as to the cause of the contag-
ion. Undoubtedly its fatalities have
been magnitied. Not one case in ten
reported is really "spotted fever
Physicians who have lost patients,
and the public, in instances where re
serve has been manifested as to the
cause of death, were both quick to inn
pute the cause to ''spotted fever.'
The Missoula physicians unanimous
ly declare that it springs from water
drank. This theory would seem un-
tenable. Many patients have been ac-
customed to drinking only we'll water.
Again, the water melted from snow
| high up on the mountains and dashed
down within a few hours over boulders
and cataracts through the west side
tributaries must be as nearly pure
as possible. Last year A. Buchl, while
investigating the feasibility of estab-
fishing a brewery here, sent quantities
of water from Blodgett creek, a fair
sample of west side tributaries, to
New York for analysis. The returns
showed it to be as pure as any water
on earth.
Two local theories as to the origin
are worthy of investigation.
Mr.. S. f. Solberger, who has hat
experience with the disease, is strong
in the belief that the common snow
flea is to blame. Countless myriad,
of these insects skip about on the
snow. AS it recedes up the inountair
sides under the melting influence o
the spring suns rays myriads of thes'
fleas are left high and dry aud pcrist,
Mr.. Solberger believes that th
deadly '.spotted fever germs orig,
nate in the decayed carcasses of thes
fleas.
DIR. Howard declares that there is n
mystery about the malady. He dag
noses it as malignant rernlttent feve
and says the germ arises from the de
| cayed foliage from trees. He argues
remove the cause and you remove tn
! the effect" and suggests that he NAL
population of the valley arm then
selves with hatcnets and proceed t,
strip the leaves and twigs etc. from a
the trees between Mineral Hill au
! Lo Lo. This doue, set fire to TIL
whole and all the germs will be CO,
sunied in the ensuing holocaust an
: there won't be any more spotted fevs
in these parts.

Chas. B. Peyton,
Threatened to Shoot the Sheep.

A trial, resultant from the conflict
