The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-10-15
W. H. SanGers, State Health Oficer.

Somewhat conflicting with part of this telegram received last night was a telephone message sent yesterday by pr. C. A. Mohr from Castleberry to Supervisor w. R. Brassell of the Mont gomery quarantine circuit. in which 1t was stated that the infection had been traced to Pensacola.
 Dr. Mohr is secretary of the State Board of Health and has been assisting Dr. Sanders in handling the Castleberry situation. It is regarded as singular that the two statements should contra dict one another. Dr. Mohr's message. according to MT. Brassell. said that the fever was brought into Castleberry from Pensacola by man whose name was not given. It was said that the man reached the town through the country and is supposed to have come all the way from Pensacola on foot. 1t is possible hat Dr. Sanders telegram was framed before the discovery of the source of infection. If discovery has been made.
 Reports from Castleberry tell of the d serted appt srance of tte little sta ton. Beyond Dr. Sanders and one or two others there is not a white face to be seen in the town and few negroes are In sight All the people have taken to plantations or other places at safe distance from the infection.
 luG IeIuESe ouI Ol ECuSdCOth through Montgomery last night amounted to nineteen persons. From New Orleans only four were counted.
 No Ban on County.
 Dr. Sanders yesterday ordered Su- peryisor W. R. Brassell not to put on a quarantine of all the rest of the State against Conecuh County. It was though. for awhile yesterday and the nighs before that this measure would Inc fa hiff haliaVcc he has tho situation under control and that 1t would be an unnecessary hard ship to make Evergreen and other places in the county suffer by being cut of from other rarts of Alabama.
 The quarantine is, therefore, con- fined to the people who come from the town limits of Castleberry. This has been in effect since Friday.
 Quarantine Inspector F. B. Meador. of the Georgia Board of Health, came to Montgomery yesterday to get exact in formation regarding the situation in Ca5tleberry. That State had put on a qrarG ntine against six of Alabama's counties which are nearest Castleberry pending an investigation. Mir. Meador saw Supervisor Brassell here yesterday and from him got a statement of the fever condition in the newly infected town. After the investigation, he held a conversation over the long-distance telephone with State Health Officer Westmoreland of Georgia. who author ized the quarantine to be taken off all counties except Conecuh ard Escambia. This order went into effect last night.
 D.. c. A. Mohr. the Mobile super visor of the Alabama quarantine, has left Castleberry for Mobile, leaving the matters there in the hands of pr. Sanders Dr. Mohr had been Tn the place since Thursday night when he met Dr. Ser ders and helped perform an autopsy on one of the yellow fever cases. Dr. Mohr In a telephonic con- versation with Supervisor Brassell said yesterday that the situation is under certain control snd that little If any further spread is expected from the foci alrtsdy uncovered.
 The two persons who died in Castle berry of yellow fever were Gus John son and wife. It was said last night that one of the cases under suspicion as the daughter of the stationmaster at Castleberry.
