WAVE OF GRIPPE AND

Physicians State That Increase
In Number of Cases Is
Practically Nothing.

After several weeks during which
a very large number of cases OF
grippe and pneumonia have been re.
ported in the district, it seems as il
the epidemic is dying out. In severe
ity the wave OF the disease was more
than any in the past few years, sew
Ieral deaths having resulted from
pneumonia.
The epidemic Of grippe has not been
confined to any one section of the
country, practically all OF the cities in
the United States reporting an I'M
usual number of cases OF the disease
In the large cities great suffering was
entailed and many deaths resulting
1t is established among medical men
that grippe is a germ disease and il.
is thought that the amount of dust
resulting from generally fair weather
over the country has been conducive
TO spreading the germs.
In the Warren district there have
been no deaths from grippe. although
there have been several from pneumo-
MIA. which is particularly hard to
contend with owing TO the altitude.
At the present time IN the hospitals
and homes there are great many
cases Of grippe and pneumonia, bu,
when asked concerning the situation
the physicians generally state that
the increase IN the number OF cases
during the past few days has been
practically nothing and it looks as Il
the epidemic were dying out.

BOYS COMMIT
F:ORGER|ES BY
THE WHOLESALE
Between $50 and $50 Worth.
of Merchandise and Cash Is
Secured Through Use of.
Bogus Orders.

Yesterday a band of youngsters
ranging In age from 10 to Il years,
were gathered in by Deputy Sheriff
George Humm at Lowell on o charge
OF obtaining goods under false pre-
lenses. which consists of the forgery
of the name of George F. Knox, the
father of one OF the boys, to orders
and requests for goods and money.
Mr.. Knox Is at present conyalescent,
having been confined to his bed for
several weeks with pneumonia.
The forgeries consisted of notes or
letters to merchants OF Lowell. par
ticularly those in the Johnson addi-
ton and the Copper Queen store in
Lowell for goods and money. Some
Of the orders read to the effect that
Mr.. Knox was i'll and needed money
for medicine, or wanted to pay the
wash-lady, or the milk man, etc.
Charles NJ. Mexican, with whom Mr..
Knox traded, supplied goods and
money amounting to $3.50 in cash and
several dollars worth of canned
goods. The Copper Queen store came
in for the largest share of the boys
patronage. about $40 worth of goods
being purchased there by the use of
their system.
The plan seemed to work so well
that the boys became too bold in their
demands. and the order for $4.50
which was presented to w. H. Goode
was not accepted, but the boys then
went to Mr.. Burnam of the Burnam
Furniture Company in the Johnson
building. with the order, and Mr..
Burnam took the order to the home
of Mr.. Knox, where the deception was
discovered.
The boys are George Knox, Earl
Riley Lefty" Carter, Chuck Cash,
Tom McClay and Tom Worford- The
boys are at present in the charge OF
their parents, but will peraps be tried
before the juvenile court at Tomb
stone later.
Hereafter. according to the orders
given the Lowell officers, parents will
find their children in the Lowell jail II
they are not at home at 8 O'Clock
evenings. No boy will be allowed on
the streets after that hour without a
bona fide written excuse from their
parents permitting their being out at
this hour.

The change in the control OF the
