NO QUARANTINE
 FOR PRATT CITY.
Health Department Keeps Close Watch on Cases of
 Infantile Paralysis

In a statement issued last night, Dr. Robert Nelson, city health officer. states that the report is incorrect that quar- antine would be made against Pratt City on account of the prevalence of a num- Der of cases of infantile paralysis there.
 Ir his statement pr Nelson says: 'The report in an afternoon paper to the eff feet that a quarantine would be estab-
 ished against Pratt City today on ac- count of the existence of a number of cases of infantile paralysis, emanating from the office of Dr. Robinson, is abso- lutely incorrect.
 Such a procedure as this has never oc- cured to the health department. Every effort will be made towards cutting short this apparent epidemic in Pratt City and nothing will be left undone to accom- plish this end.
 It is understood that there are only 10 widely scattered cases of infautile paralysis in and about Pratt City and that several of the victims are among the colored population.
 The city health department is carefully watching the situation and instructions have been issued to physicians to repor' all cases promptly.

 Been in Fight

The appearance of ex-Gov. B. B. Co. mer at the city jail Yesterday morning caused a ripple and stir. For a lit- tie while there were some brain-r rack

 Just at this. time the appearance of Governor Conner at the city jail easily suggested inspection" and this mo- tive might further have been associated with "locaE optIon," blind tigers ana what not. Anyhow, in the mind of the warden there was some connection be- tween the face of the ex-governor and several bottles of ruby, sparkling bev- craze standing in a group on top of the tall desk. for he kept looking at first one and theN the other.
 But the distinguished visitor merely asked for the necessary papers with which to bond his negro butler, Jake Jackson Jake had been locked up for assault and battery with a weapon committed on his wife. Lena, or more | specifically for having used a sad iron | to smooth out the wrinkles incidental
 to the conjugal estate.
 The negro was tried before. Judge | Hugo l.. Black in the recorderS court 1 yesterday morning and was fined s90 with an additional sentence of 30 days.
 He is butler in the Conner home and l his services are what the negro re-
