Miss Annie NJ sRicker, a typhoid fever
patient at Biddeford, was moved to the
hospital, Saturday. An unfounded rumor
that she had smallpox led to a clash be-
tween the attending physician and one
of the health officers. Mrs. Pombriant,
an occupant of a tenement under the
Kicker family, burned sulphur as a pre-
cautionary measure when she supposed
there was a case of smallpox in the house.
The fumes of the burning sulphur greatly
annoyed the sick woman. The doctor or
dered Mrs Pombriant to desist, and, his
order not being complied with, he entered
the tenement and threw the sulphur lamp
out of a window. A suit for trespass is
fhreateued
