Patient in Rarn.-A diphtheria card
looms up conspicuously on the door of
the old Onward hose house at Twelfth
street and Third avenue. Within the
place is Charles Jones of Sparta, Wis,
who was found suffering with the
dreaded disease in the loft of barn
at Sixth street and Fourth avenue by
Health Inspector Jones. He is without
friends and has been residing at a
house on Sixth street and Fourth ave-
nue.. When he was taken ill, and it
was feared he had diphtheria he was
hustled to the loft of the barn. The
attention of the city authorities was
called to the case. The man could
not remain in the barn, so the old hose
i house was pressed into service.
