this city who, on the occasion of his
becoming of age. began the celebration
of his birthday in a way that caused
his household great deal of conster-

after midnight, the young mans family
were suddenly startled from their
slumbers by loud voice in the house
calling, There's a man in the house.
There's a man in the house!" The
valiant pater familas rushed from his
room, bearing in his hands heavy
billet of fire wood to learn the cause
of the disturbance and to capture the
intruder. His son was standing in the
hall, shouting at the top of his voice.

gentleman. Here. sir; here!" proud

The germ is somewhat shortened

found the body of a young man lying
stiff in death near the residence of j.

man proved to be Frank A. Wells. His
head was nearly severed from his body.
Death resulted from el~ectrocution. He
went home late Saturday night to a ca
bin owned by Mr.. Evans that he oc-
cupied. A terrific storm had been
blowing and an electric wire had sag
ged down until it struck the young
man under the chin as he walked
along. The terrible strength of the
current almost decapitated him.

for Mr.. Evans and recently came from
his home in Plumas county to resume
his work. He was aged q years.

SMALLPOX SITUATION.
no New Cases Have Been Reported-SchooIs
Closed for Present.

SfOsSu IOT FTcSe0t.
Ihere were no new cases of small
pox reported up to noon today. In
fact, there is probably one less thar
the number announced yesterday. Con-
ductor Pease's case is doubtful and
cannot be accurately diagnosed. Nc
eruptions have appeared and he is
probably not afflicted with SMALLPOX.
DIR. Giroux received a dispatch from
DR.. Gibson, president of the State
Board OF Health, last night appoint
ing him a quarantine officer.
The caboose pesthouse, on the side
track east of town, has only the one
patient, Fireman Joyce, who is getting
along well, the case being a mild one.
DR.. Samuels is attending him.
The trustees decided last night to
close the public school for the pres
ent. 1t was deemed best to Jake this
precaution as a Measure of public safe
ty. Should no new cases Of the disease
be reported within a reasonable time
the school will reopen.
The situation here is not alarming in
the least and the disease will not get
a foothold if ordinary precautions are
taken.
1t has been given out that another
case of smallpox has been developed in
Wadsworth and that there are now two
patients in the pesthouse at that place.
On the other hand, reports from Wads-
worth say that the truth in regard to
smallpox situation in Wadsworth is
being withheld. A number of cases
have been developed of which no pub
lie report was made. One man died
with all the symptoms of the disease in
a barroom, but the cause of death was
misrepresented and the facts regarding
the case covered up as much as pos
sible. Another case developed in a
clearinghouse, crowded nightly with
dodgers.
The patient was locked in his room
and the ease was not reported for fear
Of injuring the business of the house.
The Winnemucca cases are directly
traceable to Wadsworth, where, from
all accounts, the true state of affairs
has been concealed in every way pos
sible. Someone is to blame-eithel
the State Board of Health for not not
taking proper steps to enforce a quar-,
a~ntine, or the Wadsworth physician;
for not reporting smallpox cases which
came under their notice. This care
lessness or neglect is little short Of
criminality and the evil consequence
are apparent in the spread OF the dis
ease to Winnemucca.
