The wreck lay fifteen yard from the

LOOK OUT FOR CONTAGIOH
State Board of Health Issues
Warning to Physicians
to Be Careful,

A copy Of the following self-expla-
natory letter has been sent to each
health officer in the state by the state
board Of health. The attention of the
public at large Is called to this mat
ter. Many deaths have occurred
through contagious diseases. The ap-
pearance and existence of contag ious
diseases have been given little consid-
GRAFTON by many of the health off
GERS and as a result have spread and
claimed many more victims than they
would had proper attention been paid
to the prevention Of their spreading
The letter follows:
THE reports Of deaths from scarlet
fever and measles indicate the extern
sive prevalence Of those diseases in a
severe form, and the necessity for the
most rigid enforcement Of preventive
measures. It is discretionary with the
health officer or board of health to
quarantine persons affected with
measles; and it is recommended that
a report Of all cases shall be required
and quarantine enforced for a period
OF not less than two weeks. Every
effort should be made to educate the
public to recognize that measles and
whooping cough are not trivial com
plants as ordinarily regarded. Whoop-
ing cough especially, of which there
are many cases existing in the state,
is g. very serious disease both as to
mortality and injurious after-effects:
and the law requires that all cases
shall be promptly reported and quar-
antined- It is the duty of health Off
GERS to strictly enforce this law.
''An unusually large number of
deaths from pneumonia occurred dur
ing the month This disease is steadi-
~ increasing throughout the state and
demands the most earnest attention
Of all health officers. It should be re-
mem'bered that the law requires the
report Of pneumonia. The disease is
infectious, and the room occupied by
the patient should be disinfected IN
the same manner as in other infectious
diseases Especial care should be TAX

MONEY COULD NOT SAVE.
Rich Alaska Miner Lost With His
Bag of Gold.

Seattle, Wash, Jan. 26-Among those
who are supposed to have persisted
when the Valencia went to pieces was
j. B. Graham, q passenger and with
him went bag containing $500 in
gold Survivors of the wreck say that
Graham franticalIy offered the bag Of
gold to any one who would place him
on shore. But the others paid but lit
tie heed to the pleadings of the man,
and his gold lay on the broken deck,
kicked under foot, no one bothering to
even pick II UP.
1T was one time when gold would
not buy what was wanted" said one
Of the survivors, as he related the story
and watched the twinkling lights OF
the Seattle water front as the vessel
drew into her dock in the early hours
Of the morning.
I'm coming into a safe harbor with
out cent. Why, even this shirt I have
on belongs to another man, and I
haven't even a hat. But that bag of
gold, or this ship loaded with bullion,
wouldn't tempt me into such a place

RULES AGAINST KEsLER.
Court Holds That Failure to Sign
Contract Causes Loss.

In a few words, Judge Armstrong yes
terday decided in favor of the defendant
in the case of AIOnZO Kesler against L.
z. Cassidy, which had been pending in the
district court for twelve years. The suit
was brought to enforce the performance
of contract whereby Cassidy agreed to
pay Kesler a stated sum if Kesler would
buy certain real estate and place it in
Casady's hands for disposal Casady
failed to make the sale and Kesler sued
for S433.33 the amount he had paid to
ward the purchase of the property.
Casady moved from Salt Lake several
years ago and the case did not come to
trial until last week, when Casady came
here from Oregon to defend a suit filed
against him by his brother, E Z. Casa
dy. Kesler fastened to secure service
on him and the case was heard before
Judge Armstrong, who took his decision
under Amusement until yesterday.
The court holds that the contract was
not mutual, as it was signed by Casady
only. who agreed to pay KesIer the
s433.3 and interest on 81 100, the purchase
price of the property. if the sale was not
made. and also agreed to take the land
off Kesler's hands. The fact that Kes-
Ter had never signed the contract and
lack of consideration were also factors
that aided in establishing the case for the
defendant

Terrible Experiences
Of we had been an hour longer on
the raft I believe every man would
have gone insane" said Joseph McCaf-
frey, one of the men on the raft and
who came here on the Topeka One
could tell by the looks in the eyes Of
his companions that reason was de-
parting. Just touch one of the men
and they would growl like some trap
ped animal.
Il was pulling on one Of the oars
with a poor fellow whose strength was
about exhausted. He would work like
mad for a few moments and then his
head would drop on his breast and his
hands would relax their grasp.
Keep on working I would urge.
IF you want to get out Of this and
reach the ship, pull, for Gods sake,
pull
Then he would rise again to the
task and in that manner succeeded in
reaching the boat crew from the To-
peka.
There were two or three men on the
raft who kept up the spirit of their
companions by cheering them on and
holding every hope of rescue with
short time
When we sighted the boat putting
away from the Topeka one fellow on
the raft broke forth ito song. But the
words died in his throat-Ilis heart was
too full. don't know the words of
that song he attempted. I was too
stupehed to remember"

FOR ATTACKING SISTER.
Minerva Reeves Is Bound Over to the
District Court.

Minerva Reeves was bound over to the
district court under bond Of 81 loo for
assault with intent to kill by Judge J.
J. Whitaker yesterday. The complaining
witness in the case is Mirinda Reeves, a
sister of the defendant. Resentment over
Mirinda's expressed scorn for two Gre
clan friends of Minerva, coupled with a
remark that Mirinda was a lady" and
would no longer associate with dirty
low, degraded Greeks" is supposed to
have led to the trouble. Minerva fired a
revolver at her sister several DAYS later.
The bullet missed Mirinda's head by
about a foot
The trouble took place in a disreputabIe
house, where the sisters were inmates.
