DULUTH HAS CASE
OF SPOTTED FEVER
LAMPINSKI'S DEATH TRACED TO
THE DREAD DISEASE. -
Hurried Private Interment as the Re-
suit of the Disclosures of a Post-Mor
tenn xamination-Victim's Illness
Began Two Days Ago, With Severe
Pains in the Head. ,..

Duluth, Mimi, May 20.-What is be-
lieved by physicians to be a genuine
case of spotted fever, or cerebro-spinal
meningitis, terminated in the death,
after intense suffering, of Felix Lam
pinski, a butcher, 80 years old. AS
the result Of the disclosures brought
Health Commissioner Murray issued
peremptory order for a private inter
ment at the earliest possible moment.
Lampinski was seized two days ago
with a severe headache, which nearly
Frustrated him. He did not consult a
physician, intending, if there was no
Improvement, to do SO yesterday. The
malady grew steadily worse, however,
and he retired last night suffering in
tense pain. Mrs. Lampinski heard him
grooming at about midnight, but he
made no reply to her question regard
ing his condition, and in an unconscious
state he died about an hour later.
A pOst-mortem examination was
made by Coroner McCuen, who ex-
presses fears that Lampinski died of
the disease which produced several
hundred deaths in New York a few
weeks ago, and for which physicians
have thus far been unable to find a
remedy.
The expense Of a preliminary cleo
ton will be avoided in the selection
of three members Of the board Of edu-
cation in Duluth this summer. Instead
of the preliminary election for the pur-
pose of placing candidates in nomina-
ton. the candidates will be brought
out BY petition.

WHO WILL PAY CHILDS?
Prosecutor in Koch Case May Have
Trouble in Collecting Fees.

ITOuple IN COllecLlng EeeS'
NEW ULM, MINN.-It is possible
that General Childs will have difficulty
in collecting his fees for the prosecu;-
tion Of the case Of the state against
DR.. Koch, or in the event that he col
lects the county Of Blue Earth may, be
out what is paid him, from the fact
that the law in cases of change of venue
reads that it shall be the same as II
the Indictment was found in the county
to which the case was transferred.
In this case it was inferred that with
the transfer Of the case the prosecutor
went with it, but it appears that 1t. is
no so. The burd en- of the prosecution
should have fallen upon the county at
torney of Blue Earth, and it was the
place of Mr.. Wilson to have arranged
for his assistants and paid for them IN
case he was unable to handle the case
himself.
The matter has not been brought be-
fore the authorities, but it will be, and
before the third, trial comes up. it will
be settled in some way, for it is plain
that the burden of the cost Of the pros
ecution as far as attorneys is concerned,
belongs to the regularly elected attor-
ney for the county in which the case is
to be tried. and provides only for the
payment of the witnesses and other
necessary court expenses.
