SMALLPOX SCARE
S|EzES P0MER0Y
SCHOOLS AND STORES ARE
CLOSED-CHILDR FORBID.
DEN IN THE STREETS.

From Pomeroy comes the story of a
smallpox scare which has all the APP
pearances of being something more
than a mere scare. The contagion is
spreading so rapidly in that little city
that everything possible is being done
to prevent further ravages
Last Wednesday all the schools were
closed and the children are not al
lowed on the streets. The stores are
all closed in the evening, contrary to
long established custom, so that there
may be no gathering of loiterers. Strict
guarantees are being established in
the houses where the disease has bro
ken out and not stone is being left
uLturned to stop the spread of the
sickness.
The disease is appearing in a more
malignant form than usual and while
there have been as yet no deaths from
smallpox in the neighborhood of Pom
eroy, several patients are reported to
be dangerously i'll and in one case re-
covery is impossible. There is a con-
templated quarantine of the town if the
cases or, hand now are not under con-
troll in short time. Many people are
leaving the city and it is feared the
disease will be carried elsewhere in this

DEATH CLAIMS
ALLAN bYRNES
AFTER SEVEN DAYS STRUGGLE,
WELL KNOWN OFFICER sUc-
CUMBS TO WOUNDS.

After seven days struggle for life,
Altar. Byrnes last night succumbed to
his injuries and passed peacefully away
at o'clock, surrounded by grief strck-
en- friends and relatives.
Deputy Sheriff Byrnes was accident
ally wounded last week by the dis
charged of his revolver which slipped
from it's holster under his shoulder. He
was brought to St. Mary's hospital and
for a time it seemed as if his rugged
constitution would triumph over the
wound but his condition Saturday be-
came worse and he sank rapidly until
his death last night. The wound was
fracture of the skull in the forehead,
the bullet striking above the left eye
and plOughing its way to the top Of the
skull without entering the brain cavity.
Deceased was born on his fathers
ranch near Touchet, March 10, 1876.
He has always lived in this part of the
country. where he has had the highest
respect of his fellow men. In 1894 he
married Miss Molly Hall, whom he had
known from childhood. FIVE children
were born to them, three Of whom are
living, Evila aged II; Elizabeth, aged
and Thelma, aged years. In addition
to his wife and children, Mr.. Syrnes is
survived by his father and mother, Mr..

and Mrs. Edward Byrnes; two broth
ers, John of Bend. Ore, and Albert of
Touchet. and by two sisters. Mrs, Nellie
Crow of Yakima and Mrs. Carrie Ac-
cunius of Touchet
Allan Byrnes was known as one of
the most conscientious men and one of
the ablest officers in the country. He
commanded the love and respect of all
VINO knew him, although he was natur-
ally reticent in disposition. While at
Wallula, one of the hardest places in the
country for an officer of the law, he
established a reputation of fearless
ness and fairness which made him res
pected even by the worst law break
ers. His loss is an irreparable one and
his death will be universally mourned
wherever he was known.

and the sermon tonight is expected to
be something in the nature of a sem
