light when the county line was
crossed.
A tent had been purchased by the
railroad company before leaving
Parkersburg and supplies to last
for day or two were provided.
Rashid was told to get out of the
car and did so without objection.
The tent was then placed in the
woods almost in sight of the tracks
and the man made as comfortable as
possible. He seemed pleased to be
again in section where friends or
at least acquaintance resided. The
train then continued on to Pickens
for orders and then made the return
trip to Weston.
While the momentary stop was
made here there was some discus
sion as to the disposition of the car
in which Rashid rode. The physi-
clans were of the opinion that the
car should be burned and this may
have occurred but nothing has been
learned as to that.
Local railroad men evidently had
orders regarding the affair for ali

even so far as to deny any knowledge
of the leper's passage through the
