EPIDEMIC NOT FEARED
IN CITY OF LAS VEGAS
Only One New Case Of Dlphtheria
Reported In Ten Days--Schools
Not to Close at Present.

There is no danger Of an epidemic
of diphtheria in East Las Vegas, &C.
cording TO City Physician w. H. Ka-
ser. Only one new case has been re.
ported In the past ten days. This is
regarded by DR.. Kaser as showing
that the disease Is not likely to
spread to any extent OF the six
cases now under treatment, all are I'm
two families. In the case OF one
family the quarantine will probably
be raised tomorrow and the release
of the other family from quarantine
will follow soon.
"The situation Is very satisfacto.
ry." said DIR. Kaser this afternoon.
With only one new case In more
than a week, there seems to be abso-
lutely no janger of an epidemic. All
OF the cases now under treatment are
doing well and the patients will. be
out within a short time"
Unless there should be an unex-
pected spread Of the disease, the
schools on the east side will not be
closed.
The school board is watching the
situation closely" said W. g. Hayden,
president of the board, this afternoon.
Superintendent Larkin and the
teachers are also giving the matter
the closest attention. They are as in
terested as any one In preventing the
spread of disease among the school
children, and the very moment that
there Is any danger the school board
will act and close the schools. There
Is nothing in the situation at present
that would justify such action. The
patrons of the schools may rest as
sured, however. that the board will
do nothing to jeopardize the health of
the pupils. All of the cases Of con-
tagious disease are reported to the
city physician and we are able to
keep ourselves we'll informed regard
Ing the situation. The public can rest
assured, therefore, that we will act
as soon as We think there is any dan.
