NO TYPHOID IN PARLEY'sl

NO TYPHOID IN FAkLbt 81
The Salt Lake papers that have set
the city in q fermenl over the alleged
befoulment Of the waters in Parleys
canyon, which supplies very large pro-
portion of our citizens with water for
domestic purposes, have received BODY
blow from the Investigation made by
Dr. oden and Commissioner standish
And their alarms have certainly been
pierced to the center by the scientific
examinations Of the stream By city
Chemist Harms.
As we have stated repeatedly, there
has been no reliable evidence OF case
of typhoid fever In ParIey's canyon
Nor has IL been proved that II there had
been such case any exereta or other
foul matter resulting must necessarily
20 into the creek, The report OF the al
legged case arose from rumor First
II was stated positively, that Mrs.
Roach had been afflicted with typhoid
and that the epidemic in this city was
caused ny nIhhhHV ilNi' wv 'N
ranch, place away up beyond the ten
mile limit Of the clty's jurisdiction into
Parleys creek. This made a terrible
furry. tho source OF the trouble was
definitely fixed, and the parties said
to be responsible were raked over the
hot Goals of newspaper displeasure
The lady Indignantly denied the story,
admitted that she had been sick for
few days but not seriously so, and
mentioned, casually, that one Of the
Bullock family, residing In Lambs can
yon had been similarly afflicted but for
longer period, Then the scene of the
typhoid farce, portrayed as a tragedy,
was transferred TO the Bullock ranch,
several miles stll further from the city,
and the family, the city authorities and
the physicians, supposed to have had
the case there WAS none however,
were roasted to several turns, and the
filthy condition of the Bullock place was
depicted and fiercely condemned.
BY this time the community here was
aroused to Indignation, and the public
stomach was seized with nausea over
~, ,,,.,,o,,o., of ,v,arr,s % to
phoId and other noxious germs, said to
float In the water supplied by the city,
And all that with little else but rumor
and rash conclusions to base the alarms
