sight he gave up and considered It
a matter of providence and was re-
signed

have been several recoveries of eye
sight by persons who were blind,
practically, and all within the past
several weeks.

mother of Gwin Butler the well
known southern Oregon banker has
| just left the South Pacific hospital,
where she had a cataract of the eye
removed. She has been blind prac-
tically for the past four years, She
Is 81 years old and It is believed that
she will enjoy good sight in a short
time.
There have been three other eases
at the hospital In the past few
months. They we're Mrs Browns
worth, of Woodvlc, Mrs, u G.
! Whipp of Salem, wife of DR. Whipp
| formerly of Korby, and A. b. Brooks

Well Known Richmond Char
acter Contracted Disease
From P. HuelI, Taken There
When He Was Dying.
TRUSTEE HOWARTH Is
ABSOLvED BY H. MEEK
HoWarth States That He Was
Advised to Remove HueII to
Infirmary by a Physician
Is No Epidemic.

Frank Snow, for many years resi-
dent of this city and well known, died
last evening at the county infirmary,
where he has been an inmate of the
hospital ward for more than year.
Death was due to black erysipelas
which he contracted from Preston
Huell, colored, who died at the infirm-
ary week ago.
Frank Snow, who was Familiarity
known as Brick was in the hospital
ward when Huell was brought to the
infirmary. In moment of delirium,
Huell arose from his bed and tried to
get in bed with Snow. AS soon as
the symptoms broke out on Snow, he
was removed from the other inmates
His condition was serious from the
first and very little encouragement
for his recovery was given out by the
|infirmary physician. For the last day
or two he has refused to eat, fact
which was contributory to his death.
Danger 10 Now Past.
County Infirmary Superintendent
Harry C. Meek stated today that he be-
lieved the danger of further spread OF
the disease was past. The other two
inmates in the ward at the time of
Huell,s confinement, have not shown
symptoms of the disease.
Mr.. Meek said that he now believes
the criticism made Of James Howarth,
trustee Of Wayne tosaslinf furrbrtM
Ing HuelI to the infirmAry Wa unjust
in that Mr. Howafth had been advised
by DIR. Weller to do 50. Mr.. Howartl
stated today that when he summoned
DIR. Weller to the shanty in which
Huell was living, he asked the physi.
clan what should be done with the
man. He said that 1t was evident that
Huell would have to be removed. DR.
Weller was asked according to Mr.
Howarth whether Huell should be TAX
en- to Reid Memorial hospital and the
physicians said that the authorities
there would not take him. Mr.. How
arth asked whether the county infirm
ary would be the proper place to send
him. and the physician advised his
immediate removal there which was
done. Mr.. Howarth was also told that
black erysipelas was not contagious
until the latest stages, when the skin
begins to fall off.

and goats, and morse and cart, and

did, although she had never heard OF
