DEATH IN PNEUMONIA
Sc FATAL CASES FOR MARCH
Nearly Double the Number Shown
by the Records for
February.

OF the 214 deaths in Minneapolis in
March, thirty-six were due to pneumonia.
This Is the greatest March mortality from
this disease ever known in Minneapolis.
The sudden changes in temperature are
supposed to explain the unusual record.
There were but nineteen deaths from
pneumonia in February, and the average
for March is not more than half the fig
ure for this year.
Typhoid fever was also more deadly
than usual. There were eight deaths,
against two for February. The breaking
up OF the river and the consequent de-
terloration OF the water supply is the
chief cause ascribed.
There were but five deaths from diph-
iberia and two from scarlet fever.

Case Is Confined

victed almost wholly on what Jones said.
Judge Pond Immediately ordered the
