A Case of LeprOSy In Clifton.

The Mexican section of Shannon
hill was thrown into considerable eX-
citement last week when w. H. Fales,
chief physician of the Shannon Cop
per company, discovered a case of
leprosy in one of the Mexican fam
lilies. Doctors Burtch. Smith and
Goodrich were called, and all of them
we're of the same opinion as DR.. Fales
and when Dr. j Il Lacey. county
health officer, arrived from Solomon
Vile, he agreed that the case had
been properly diagnosed. Arrange
ments were Immediately made to de-
port the unfortunate creature to her
native land, Mexico. Maria Sanchez
8arela is the name given by the
woman. She is about fifty years old
and has resided in the United States
fifteen years, the greatest portion of
which she spent in Arizona. She has
lived on Shannon hill several years,
and has a son working at the a. c.
works. She Is the mother OF eight
children, all of which are dead eX-
cept one, but it is said that none o.
them were afflicted with the disease.
Her husband is also dead, his death
having resulted from injury.
a great many people were excited
over the discovery, but DR.. Lacey
stated TO an ERA reporter that there
was no great cause for alarm and
very little danger. None of her
sons six children showed anv symp-
tom of the disease and they have
been living with her all their lives
The woman's hands and feet were
badly affected and she was deported
to her native land Tuesday. She was
accompanied by her son and a special
onard at the exnensa of the COUNTY,.

then the brig began to pound and thump,
with a grinding, crushing sound.
''ln another moment the mate came run
ming down into the cabin after something,
We're on the reefs, and the briggs going
to pieces' and then he rushed on deck again.
Il got up and tried to climb the ladder, but
a dash of water came through the open hatch
and washed me back again.
Somebody jammed the hatch shut, and l
was prisoner below. The next moment a
big wave lifted the brig up and sent her
higher up on the reefs, and she rested quietly
with no more pounding Or humping;
"The captain came down after while and
said We were ashore on the Bahama reefs,
and as the ship was easy now there was no
immediate danger, and We could do nothing
but wait for daylight
Gas dawn broke, l was on deck with the
thing else, having put new life into me, and
cared nothing for the sheets OF spray and
foam that, flying over the rails, drenched US
all to the skin every minute.
Before us, half mile distant was a
low, white coast, covered with sand hills,
and few cocoa palms, their long. slender
leaves thrashing about in the wind like a
lot of enormous feather busters.
ssThe sea about us was churned into mass
of foam as the incoming waves were broken to
pieces on the coral reefs, whose sharp, Jagged
tops of honeycomb rock rose here and there
some marine monster.
Between the coral reefs and the shore
there was a stretch of smoother water, in
marked contrast with the tumbling sea out
side. 1t was a perfect cauldron of foaming
water close about us, in which no boat could
live a second, and SO we waited as patiently
as we could for the going down of the adja-
cent sea.
"Half an hour thereafter, to our great re-
lief, we beheld staunch little schooner
rounding distant point well inside the
reefs, and making for us; and as she drew
nearer we saw that her decks were full of
men, white and black, clad in such variety
of costumes, with such diversity of loud
colors, as at once suggested piratical band
of the seventeenth century.
"But appearances were deceptive, for in
stead of freebooters bent on plunder the
strangers were good Samaritans coming to
our rescue-a lot of Bahamian wreckers--
men ever ready to save life and property for
a consideration.
ssThe little schooner came straight ahead
in a reckless way, till we held our breath,
thinking she would be wrecked on the reefs
herself. Then all at once she came round
into the wind SO near the jagged rocks that
the spray therefrom dashed clean over her

joiced in the highly appropriate name OF the
Fearless, a sturdy, square built man OF
fifty, with light hair and blush eyes,, and a
salty air about him, balancing himself with
the skill of an acrobat on the port rail and
making a trumpet of his hands, began a
shouting conversation with us, in which he
informed us that he wouldn't give a ha'-
penny for cur lives if we weren't ashore
mighty soon, as the wind backing to the
northwest, would blow great guns again IN
few hours, when our brig would probably go
to- pieces.
ers began to make preparations to get us off

skillful and courageous manner. running a
line from the Fearless to our vessel, over
which we were hauled in turn, though we
were sorely battered and drenched by the
angry seas that leaped up furiously, as If
