placed under quarantine three weeks
ago, and has been attended during his
illness by Mrs. Whiteside. Though a
guard has been maintained in front
of the Whiteside home, Carlton easi-
~ made good his escape. Mrs. White
side does not know whether he passed
out through the front door early in
the evening, or waited till the family
had retired and then escaped via a
rear stairway. When she carried his
breakfast upstairs at this forenoon
his room was empty. Carlton left no
word explaining his sudden departure
and he took all of his clothes with
him. Mrs. Whiteside communicated
Immediately with the health authori-

he has gone to his home in Iowa,
