A FALSE RUMoR.
A Report That An Unusual Epidemic
Of Scarlet Fever in This City
is Without Foundation.

A persistent rumor has gained cir
culation throughout the territory ad-
jacent to Mexico that there is an un-
usual epidemic Of scarlet fever raging
in this city. Little credence should
be given this report as there has
never been but four cases reported to
the Board of Health; two of these
have died, the others are doing nicely
and indications are that they will re-
cover.
No cases have been reported In the
last five days. School was adjourned
for a few days, but at a meeting Of the
School Board the situation was thor
oughly reviewed and the epidemic
was not thought serious enough to de
lay the reopening Of school.
This rumor has no doubt kept mani
Of our country friends out Of the cit
lately, but it has no foundation what
never.
