Prof J. c. Branham, former resi-

Mr.. Gus Brannon, in Birmingham,
Ala, where he had made his home for
the past year. Prof Branham had
been i'll of a complication of trou-
bles for the past month and while
his condition was such that his ply
sician held out no hope of ultimate
recovery, his death at this time was
unexpected. His son, James Bran
ham, passed through here Saturday,
he having been attending the bedside
Of his father. A message notifying
him of his fathers death caught him
at Chicago just as the train he was
on was pulling out. He Immediately

Co. E. 18th Virginia infantry, Pick
ett's Brigade, Longstreet's division.
The most important battles in which
he participated were Yorktown, Will
iamsburg, Seven Pines and the sec
ond battle of Mansas. At the last
named he had been promoted to
captaincy and on the field he recelv-
ed a wound through the neck which
made him an invalid for a year and
which left him partially paralyzed on
the right side for the rest of his
life. For bravery displayed there
he was promoted to the position of
major
He was a devout member Of the
Christian church, good cictizen,
devoted husband and father and a
man who, for his many noble quail
ties, was respected and loved by all.
He was born in Albemarle county
Virginia on May IA, 1886.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs
Rosa Branham, who for many years
was valued teacher in the public
schools here, and by five children

In each and every case the promise
was eXacted that the places must be
closed to stay closed and there is
hardly a doubt that the men SEN
promise and that Belvidere will be
entirely free from violations of the

TO SEEK BIDS FOR
GARBAGE DISPOSAL
COUNCIL ADOPTS RESOLUTION
ON OFFAL QUESTION
Opportunity is offered to Persons to
Make Proposals on Three Meth
DDS for Disposition of
Refuse

The final resolution authorizing the
board of public works to advertise for
bids for the disposal of garbage was
passed by the council yesterday.
The board reported the specifications,
amended to provide for hog feeding
five miles from the city limits, and
with provision giving bidders an OPP
portunity to make proposals on three
methods of garbage disposal, hog feed
ing, reduction and incarceration.
But Dromgold had to have one last
word. He read a clipping from a daily
paper in which it was declared prop
erty owners in the county had pre-
scented a petition asking the supervisors
to pass an ordinance prohibiting the
city from disposing of it's garbage at
any point outside it's own jurisdiction
which would knock out the five mile
limit for hog feeding
Yonkin responded with his usual
warmth and he and Dromgold engaged
in an exchange of courtesies, as they
always do over the garbage matter
But when Healy moved the adoption
of the specification Dromgold quickly
seconded the motion. He had had his
amusement in stirring up Yonkin.

LEPER DISCOVERED
BY HEALTH OFFICER
MEXICAN IS AFFLICTED WITH
DREAD DISEASE
Unfortunate Man Says He Has Been
in Los Angeles Five Years-F1e
viii Be Turned Over to
the County

A pitiful looking man shambled into
the private office of DIR. l. H. Bancroft,
assistant health officer, and looked
hopelessly from bleared eyes as curious
physicians attached to the health de-
partment examined him at respectful
distance.
The unfortunate man is a leper. He
is a Mexican 35 years old and gave his
name as Adelaide Aguirre. DR.. H. B.
Tebbetts, assistant health officer, found
him in a court on North Rio street.
The doctor went to the court intent on
the examination of a case of measles
which had been reported, and although
he found a little Mexican girl suffering
with measles he also found the leper.
He FASTENED him to the health office
and detained him in a room until he
could turn him over to the county Of
ficials.
The leper declared he had been in
Los Angeles five years and for the last
two years had been unable to work.
The disease has attacked his fingers
and toes. The hand as far as the wrist
is covered with the white, fiaky crust
that accompanies leprosy and the I'M
gers and toes appear to have melted
from the hands and feet. The tips of
the fingers and toes are as white as
chalk.
While the Mexican cannot speak
English he appears more intelligent
than the average man of his class and
seems to realize that his is hopeless
case.
