Thursday while the health officer had
the coach Wapato quarantined for
diphtheria. Lula White, who was
bound for Portland from Pasco, was
stopped here and sent to the pest
house. Miss White had broken quar-
aniine in Pasco and was discovered
to be sick by the conductor who.
after questioning her. found that
she had diphtheria and at once noti-
fed the authorities and had them
order the coach cut off ere so that it
could be fumigated. Miss White had
been in quarantine for about a week
before she left Pasco.
The passengers of the coach that
was quarantined were allowed to pro-
coed on their way and were provided
with another coach. The coach had
at the time of quarantine 10 passen-
gers and none of the people that
were exposed to Miss White have at
the present time symptoms of diph-
iberia. II was thought not advisable
to hold them here, as it would mean
big expense to the railroad. The
passengers were supplied with
listerine.
