Lynch, Names Of Victims
Health Authorities Take
Stringent Measures.

With Edward Woodwork lying iii
with smallpox In a room upstairs, q
party was given at his home in East
Ninth street Friday night It was at
tended by about 80 guests. The ma
ture Of Woodworths illness was not
discovered until Saturday when DR..
II. II. Chamberlain was called to at
tend him. -,
AS soon as 1t was learned that the
malady was smallpox the sufferer was
hastily taken to the pest-house Upon
his arrival there, he told story which
caused speedy action on the part of the
health officials.
Woodwork, with Edward Lynch, of
this city, had been working in the Del
icatessen restaurant In Alliance. Last
wednesday they were taken i'll and up
on consulting an Alliance physician,
were told that they suffered from moth
Ing more that sort OF blood disease
and that they had better return to
their homes in Canton.
Not surmising the real trouble, both
came to this city in Stark ca.
Woodwork went to his home and took
to his Der, but Lynch, not considering
that he was very sick, went about as
usual.
AS soon as the health officials learner
this, Sanitary Policeman James Sell
started out on hunt for Lynch. He
found him Sunday afternoon in East
Tenth street, and the patient was taken
to the pest house. The attending ply
sician found that the disease was not
far advanced.
When the guests at the party and
those persons who were otherwise ex
posed, learned what had happened
CONSERVATION prevailed. All were vac.
cinated at once, the total being about
fifty. H'
These are the only cases of the dis
ease in the city and the health author
tiles are greatly incensed at the Al
lance officials for allowing the suffer-
ers to come to this city. The health
board is urging all those who may
have come in contact with either Of
the patients, to be vaccinated at once
