Jerry Whites Case Serious.

Jerry Whites case is now compli-
Gated with erysipelas. This malady
has set in In a severe form and the
family are considerably alarmed.
The physicians could not be seen
this afternoon for statement but a
Herald representative called on MIR.
White at his home and found him
suffering intensely. 1t has attacked
his face and neck, and Is extending
itself rapidly.
The further statement has also
been made that the wound in the
neck is developing into serious
com mplication. 1t Is believed that II
the bullet remains in its present To-
cation that it will eventually cause
paralysis and the physicians fear
that should they probe for it that
the spinal cord might be encountered
and it is claimed that the slightest
touch of this organ with an lnstru'
ment would also cause paralysis.
There is no use concealing the fac'
that Mr.. Whites conc itlon Is seri
GUS one, and that his friends are
very much alarmed. Baker Git,

tween the Potters, who were original
owners of the mine, and the Rankin
company, since the suit for title to
the property in the district court last
fall, between James Ross ct al vs.
James Potter, ct al.
During the absence of H. D. Ran

of the company, the move was made
by the Potters.
The mill was in splendid shape
for long and continuous run when
the shut down occurred, there being
about $50 tons OF ore in the bins.
G. Miller, who Is interested in the
company, was in the city Friday, en-
route to Chicago, to meet Mr.. Ran
kin. who will return in about two
weeks, when an effort will be made
to settle the differences between the
Potters and the company.
