VIOLATED THE HEALTH REGULA

VIOLATED THE HEALTH REGULA-
 TIONS.
 Justice of the Peace Henry Trow bridge held court in the hall near the depot, last Thursday, to try the case of the State vs .Gaffney. It appears that William Gaffney violated the quaran- tine regula tions repeatedly while his family was confined to the house with diphtheria. His actions were so open and defiant that the County Health officer was called, who had Gaffney arrested, who on pleading guilty, was sentenced to 40 days in jail and costs, which amounted to about $3O, the court being rather lenient, as the court could have run the sentence up to about 300 days in stead. This should serve as warning to some of our cltl- zens who have an idea that the health laws of the state are only matter of form and not to be enforced. MT Etheridge, the county health officer, is bound to see that all the laws ard regulations pertaining to public health shall be observed and enforced. The laws are general and uniform through out the state.
