NO CH0L ERA
IN 0TTuMWA
THERE ARE, HOWEVER, SEVEN
immigrants UNRED THE SUR
VIGILANCE OF CITY PHYSICIAN

In contradiction OF the rumor that
has been prevalent in Ottumwa for the
past few days, City Physician E. 4.
Edgerly states that there is not the
II least symptom Of the dreaded cholera
in this city. He says, however, tnat
seven Russian immigrants who ar
rived at the port of Galveston a few
weeks ago, and who came from dis
tricts where the disease has been dis
covered, are under his surveillance and
will be taken in charge the moment
the least sickness appears among them.
These seven men, with unpronounce-
able names arrived in the city few
days ago and are at present living on
East Main street. The city physician
declares that since cholera appears
within very few days after exposure
and these seven men have been IN
this country for several weeks. mere
is no danger of the disease from This
source.
The thoroughness Of the protective
health measures of the. government
authorities is we'll demonstrated IN
tnls case, says DR.. Edgerly. All I'M
migrants are examined in their home
port before allowed to ship and Sec
ond investigation Is made when they
arrive in the United States. Not only
this but the foreigners are placed I'M
der quarantine for a period Of time
until it is seen that no cholera Is
among them. When they are released
they are not yet free from the sur
veillance Of the government. BY the
time they reach their destination as
have these seven Ottumwa Russians,
slip follows them to the state board OF
health and from this board to the city
health officer. This arrives almost at
the same time as the immigrant him
self. He is Immediately taken IN
charge by the city physician and
for several weeks as last
This systematic protec-
ion on the part of the government,
Dr.. Edgerly states. is wonderful in its
work as better method cannot be
ound. Not once is an immigrant who
zones from cholera infected countries
ost. to the eyes of the oficials for
DR.. Edgerly would ask that Ottumwa
physicians notify him Immediately II
lmong immigrants. from Russia or
tally they should at any time discover
inv gastro-intestinal disease symp.
oms. In this way the health official
nay nip the disease In the bud should
t appear.

OFFICERS WAIVE
TO GRAND And JURY
LLEWELLYN AND HARRISON WILL
ALLOW CASE TO GO TO DIS =
b TRIcT COURT BODY.
FAIL TO DISMISS.
Counsel for Defense Allows Evidence
of Prosecution to be Taken Be-
fore Offering Motion-Court
3D.. ~ Overrules It.

Upon the overruling of a motion for
dismissal by the court at the conclu'
sion 'of the states tevidence, Omcer
Gershon Llewellyn and Special Bur-
! Iington Agent James M. Harrison
| waived preliminary hearing on the
charge of maLs!aughter to the grand
jury. The hearing was commenced
before Justice Ct the Peace w. j..
Berry this morning, the officers having
been arrested on warrant issued in
his court following the death of Ross
J.. Howard, who was shot by Ohicer
,Llewellyn while the former was en-
dcavoring to escape from the custody
of the law after his arrest on the
charge CT maintaining nuisance. The
shooting occurred on Iowa avenue
Thursday afternoon, July 20, and
Howard died at the Ottumwa hospital
the following Sunday, death being due,
according to the verdict of the coron-
er's jury, to septic peritonitis. me
present appearance bond ,cf the two
officers was allowed to stand until
the converting of the grand jury.
Motion to Dismiss.
The investigation Of the charges
brought by the Howard family was
before Justice Berry short
~ after 9 o'clock and by agreement
the trial of Officer Llewellyn was
commenced first. At the conclusion
of the evidence of the six witnesses
for the prosecution, the counsel for
the defendant made motion to dis
miss upon the ground of INSULT cient
evidence. The defense maintained
that there was absolutely no evidence
presented to the court that the man
died from the direct result of a gun
wound and that death might have re-
suited from the effects of the anes-
thetic administered by physicians or
their operation upon the wound, as
far as the testimony that the state
mad presented and shown. The
defense further held that there was
rot the least evidence that the shoot
ng was unlawful since the officer was
n the performance of his duty. Con-
ending that it was necessary for the
court to first find that crime had
,een committed and that the evidence
lad so far failed to show that in shoot
ng Howard, Llewellyn had committed
crime, the defense then placed the
notion before the court for his decfs-
on.
Prosecuting counsel then made reply
o the argument that such grounds Tor
were absolutely foolish
