WILD
OVER LEPER

George Rashid, the Syrian leper
is still safely ensconsed in his noun
tain retreat near Pickens, but the
citizens of Randolph: county and
those of near the locality where ne
was so unceremoniously dumped IN
particular, are exceedingly sore over
The action of the railroad company.
While no violence has occurred so
far demonstration that are threat
ening to say the least have been
made. Persons residing near
Rashid's camp claim they are no
more to blame for the mans Goa IL
ton than are citizens anywhere IN
the United States and cannot under
stand why they are jeopardized ny
the mans presence. The danger of
infection has alarmed all the peo-
pie not only in Randolph but in Up
shur county as we'll and if the man
is not removed before long trouble
is almost sure to follow. What the
majority of the residents cannot I'M
derstand is that the railroad COM
pany had the man within short
distance of the leper colony and
then did not denver MN 70 INA
haven. Instead it brorE.lt h'p back
to West Virginia where there Is no
means to cope with the dread disease
Rashid is apparently in excellent
spirits.
and Constable W. q. Merritt heard
report that the Upper had been
brought to Clarksburg and they
spent quite a while last night search
ing the yards, but found no trace of
him.
There is a report that Randolph
county proposes to send him back
to Uniontewn, Pa, wSece he work
ed before coming to this se2ti'l. Gnd
that the railroad company would
assist, the officials of the road deny
any such intentionzon their part.
In view of the fact that he may
be shipped again to ElarlSsburg,
Mayor Harmer might iool, after the
safety of our people by issuing a
strict quarantine ag&iost him as has
been done in EIkins and will be
done at Fairmont.
