with the major was when we stopped
him on the street and pulled his nose.

Were dabbling in human blood before

The people Of Salt Lake City have
been told that we have stolen over
100000 head OF cattle within the last

he first came to town.

US, as secretary Of the local vigilance
committee, with having brought about
the lynchtng Of the Hon. James Stone,
m innocent man. The Hon. James
Stone was usually referred to as
"BlOoly jim" and after he had wound

thorities in the fight against mosquitoes.
Mississippi has refused to accept certifi-
Gates of health from the Uneted States
public health and marine hospital ser
vices detention camps. 1t is, however,
hoped that this refusal is the result of
some misunderstanding, although Missis-
sippi seems to have clear case of the
horrors. The work of Oiling cisterns
wac continued yesterday without inter
ruption and many business men were
thus engaged. The Italian colony which
was engaged in unloading the banana
steamers from Central America, are now
out of work and are suffering, as the
banana ships all go to Mobile. The
quarantine regulations are less strict
than at New Orleans, and hence the
diversion OF the fruit trade from this
city. There were q new cases reported
yesterday and four more deaths. There
was total of 2SS cases reported up to 6
o'clock last evening and 81 deaths.
There we're than fl foci of infection.
Twelve new cases of yellow fever were
reported up to noon today. There have
been no deaths. Mississippi still refuses
TO allow any person to come into that
State from this city either with or with
out a health certificate.
