State Health Officer Brack.
On and Dr. Campbell Ar
rested for Assault

A crisis was reached in the temper
ment OF the residents of the village OF
Swanvllle, in the western part OF the
county, last Friday morning in con-
troversy between the Swanville school
board and DR.. r. Campbell, the
village physician, when he came in
contract with Prof. Hutchins at the
school, and the two ralned blows on
each other to their hearts content.
: As is quite generally known, the
village of Swanville was infested with
an epidemic of diphtheria some time
ago, owing to which DR. Campbell, as
health officer, had the school closed.
When this was over the schools were
re-opened and sessions were resumed.
To make sure that none of the students
had still germs of diphtheria, he went
to the school a short time ago and
wanted to take culture from the
threats of each OF the students, with
out first asking the permission OF the
school board, it having previously
refused to consider his request of be-
ing allowed to do this, because they
thought it would be needless ex-
penditure of money.
DR.. Campbell then notified DR.. H.
NJ. Bracken, member of the state
board of health, of the stand taken
by the village school board; where
upon DR.. Bracken decided to come up
and see what was the difficulty. He
arrived there IN due time and together
with Dr. Campbell went to the school
last Friday morning, to carry out
their official duties. They were met
by Prof Hutchlns, who had strict
orders from the school board not to
allow anyone to examine the children
without they first consulting the
boaro. The officers were not to be
baked, and soon there was a quarrel
on between the village doctor and the
professor. The state official became
mixed up in the affair. whether as q
participant or as paciticator can
only be vouched for by themselves ;
however, one Of the students ran out
and spread the news that both DR..
Bracken and DR.. Campbell we're at the
school and were killing their professor.
It IS stated that when the populace
got wind of the affair, their anger
became so rife that a number Of them
suggested that the two should be given
lesson they would not soon forget, q
few or the things suggested were such
as riding them out of the village on a
rail, rotten egging them, etc. Had a
leader presented himself the rest would
undoubtedly have done whatever was
d1reced to be done. II
A warrant was sworn out for the
arrest of both, and the doctors were
hailed before Justice Eastman. on the
charge of assault and battery. They
pleaded not guilty and had their cases
continued week and ten days re-
spectively. Upon furnishing $l00
bonds each, the two were released.
The prof essor and the village
physician both bear marks of the
encounter, and the latter is said to
have the residents Of the village
down on him.
