health officer, made trip to quar-
antine the clubhouse and fumigate
the men so that they might return
to their work.
Then the question of medical at
tention for the sick man came up,
and the county commissioners told
DR.. Morrison, who Is also poor ply
stefan, at 100 per month, to look
after the case.
DIR. Morrison demurred on the
ground that he was too busy, where
upon the county commissioners su<
gested that 1t might be advisable
to get another doctor and pay him

The commissioners then called
DIR, Mclean. but before DR.. Mclean
took charge of the case DIR. Nor
rison seemed to have changed his
mind, and told the commissioners
that either himself Of his assistant,

sick man.
When asked about the case today
DIR. Gray said: Il don't know any
thing about II. You will have to

corner Of Grand avenue and River

that saloon give to the world noble

Editor Holmes of the Avalanche is

Holmes triei to place an undesirable
stigma on the churches of Glnewood.
