One Case.

Lum Holbrook is under quarantine
at his mothers home in Louisa on
account OF having symptoms OF small
pox. The qarantine was established
Wednesday. before the disease had
reached a contagious stage. and all
members Of his family who chose TO
remain in .he house were included in
the quarantine. The case was taken
in hand in good time by DR.. A. w.
Bromley, health officer. and DIR. Jonn
Moore. DR.. Bromley will enforce the
strictest isolation and there is not
the slightest probability of any spread
of the disease.
Holbrook is a barber and had beer
working in Huntington until about
a week ago. He voluntarily quit
work there and did not know he had
been exposed to smallpox.
Tlsre is absolutely no cause for
alarm. as the officers fortunately dis-
covered this case and took charge IN
ample time
This case is in the extreme upper
end OF town. Guards have been
placed on duty for night and day ser
yice.with the strictest possible instruc
tions. The officers are determined tC
prevent the spread OF the disease.
