William Gets "Ratt1ed,"

Emperor William of Germany is fond
Of billiards, but IS too impetuous to
play Il good game. If he misses an
easy shot, he becomes "rattled" and
can be easily beaten by the most anna
flourish of the palace guests. But it Is
not considered good form to beat his
majesty, and no matter how bad his
game may be his adversary contriyes
to play n worse one.

Man That Gave Houiton SMALLPOX Not
Resident Of GOOdIand-City Council
Ignores CIaim-Other Cases
Are Reported.

Mayor c. E SWarts has, received a
communication through City Clerk
Kent. from the clerk of the city council
OF Colorado Springs, demanding 800 for
the cure and treatment Of Ed Somers.
a brakeman on the Rock Island, whose
home is in Colorado Springs.
Somers was 10 GoOdlaud several weeks
ago, and went into the MOulton barber
shop to get shaved. He was not sick ID
appearance, but his face was covered
with eruptions. At first Moulton refused
to shave him, and told him he looked as
though he had the small pox. But Som
ers said the eruPtiOns was a febrile
condition, the results Of a case OF typhoid
fever. Nothing more was thought Of the
matter, until later developments brought
the real conditions to light. SOmers
went to local doctor, who, after exam
lining him, it is said, advised him to go
home.
Somers left on the morning passenger
train, October 16, for his home in Colo
RADIO Springs. Arriving there he went
to another physician who said he,was at
fected with smallpox, Another physi
clan was called in to verify the diagnosis
and both we're agreed as to the nature of
the disease. SOmers was Immediately
turned over to the city authorities and
sent to the pest house, where he was
treated and cared for, and after about 16
days was discharged.
The action Of Colorado Springs against
Goodland grows out of the fact that the
Octor in charge of the pest house made
statement Of the case to the Colorado
Springs council, resulting in an order to
the city clerk to make out a bill and de-
msnd payment Of GOodlsnd for the care
and treatment Of Somers.
In this correspondence it is charged
that Goodland doctor told Somers be
could go to his home IN Colorado Springs.
But he proceeded to do so by first going
to the barber shop for a shave. and
Moulton, the barber who shaved him,
came down in due time with variOloid, a
mild form Of small pOx-
There is no disposition OF the part of
the city council Of GuOdland to recog-
nize the claim OF Colorado Springs, but
IL the 500 claim should be taken seri-
ously, GoOdIand should return the com.
pliment by demanding $1,000 Of Colo
RADIO Springs, since Somers was only q
transient here, and belonged to the
other town.
AS far as is known the first case oil

Q. E SwARTs, Mayor.
The unfortunate part of the small pOX
condition In GoOdland comes from the
fact that neither the county nor the city
had a health officer, and there is not a
pest house in the county. Ed Somers,
the first case, went to DR.. Smith at his
residence. The doctor told him to get a
room and stay there. He said in reply:
Il can neither get a room nor even a
place to eat, and am going home to
/ Colorado Springs"
Somers was not sick, although broken
out. He is now back at work, is not
pitted, and says that he was not sick q
day
The small pOx is thought to have first
started in a gang of Greeks that the
Rock Island shipped in and employed
on the section here and in the state OF

LITTLE VAUGHN ADAMS DEAD.
Congestion Of the Brain the Csuse-said
he Could Not Get Wen

]
He Could Not Get Wen
Vaughn Adams, six years old, son Of
Mr. and Mrs J. A. Adams, vas buried
in the GOodlanG cemetery Monday after.
noon, in the cold unlovliness Of winter.
He was sick three days with an attack Of
congestion Of the brain, from which he
died Sunday morning. Funeral services
were held at the home, conducted by
Rev. Belcy and Rev. Adams Of the Epis-
cOpal church One other little child is
left in the home, and in the broken ac-
cents Of its early years, IL lisps the name
Of Vaughn and cries to 60 TO the GENE
terry and bring home the absent play
mate.
Vaughn Adams was taken sick Thurs
day afternoon while at school, Ind was
excused by his teacher. The parents
thought he was coming down with scar
let fever, ard Friday morning a doctor
was JAILED. Alarming symptoms soon
developed, one Of which was an intense
fever originating in the brain. The at
tending physician pronounced the affec-
ton to be congestion Of the brain, and
close attention was necessary to keep the
little fellow from going into commissions.
He grew worse rapidly and died Sunday
morning.
This boy, only six years old, possessed
that indefnable something in face and
manner that always attracts love and
admiration. He was bright in mind and
sweet with life. Some time ago the
Adams family united with the EpiscO-
pal church, and from that time Vaughn
took deep childish interest in the ser
vice. After returning from church he
was won't to take the prayer book with
him to an upstairs room, and there
alone, would 60 through the service the
best he could, and then confide his in
nocent thoughts to the great and good
One above.
Before Vaughn was taken sick his
mother had promised to buy him bur
row, and the animal was brought to
town the evening its prospective master
came home III from school. Owing to
his ailing nothing was said to him about
it until Friday morning, when, to cheer
his spirits, Mrs. Adams surprised her
son with the gift and raised Vaughn up
in bed to look through the window at
the burrOw. Il would like to have it,
the little fellow said thOughtfully, "but
I am not going to get we'll" And now ii
seems mysterious that Vaughn should
have possessed such thoughts and al
most prophetic insight.
! The reporter for this paper feels a per
sOnal SORROW at the death Of little
Vaughn Adams because he used to meet
him every day and exchange greetings
when the Adams family lived IN the
Floyd residence. One day last winter
Vaughn was passing the Office as usual
but this time he was crying from a fal
received on the sidewalk and his hands
