SNAKES and
SMALLPOX

After A. Bowry had been in the
city Jail three days it was found
that he was suffering with small
pox and by DR.. Genoway's orders
he was removed yesterday to the
isolation hospital. Bowry was suf-
fering delirium tremens when ar
rested by Patrolman Phelan. When
he recovered he told Jailor Wilson
he had forgotten to mention that
before he was arrested his wife told
him he had the smallpox. When
arrested Bowry had heavy growth
of whiskers and the police could
not detect any breaking out on his
face.
The jail was thoroughly fumigat-
ed yesterday and DR.. Genoway says
there is no danger of the disease
spreading among the other prison
ers. He will vaccinate those who
were brought directly in contact
with the man. Most of the police
officers are immune on account Of
vaccination.
Two weeks ago William Forman
caught smallpox in the Jail and his
case is believed to be the direct re-
suit of exposure to the man Capt. j.
G. McClelland, the philanthropist,
brought to Jail. 1t was Just 81 days
after that FOrman took sick.
Twenty-one days is the time within
which smallpox will be evident if
there has been any exposure.
