DISEASE TRACED
TO WATER SUPPLY
Epidemic of Typhoid Fever at
Front Royal Causes Schools
to Close.

!Special 70 The Times Dispatch
Winchester. Va. March There has
neen no Improvement to-day in the
typhoid fever situation at Front ROYAL
Warren County, and the neighboring
town OF Riverton. On the other hand
IT is said that a number OF new cases
have been found, bringing the total
up to about 100. and the town and
county physicians are almost OK
hausted and much fatgued because
of the fact that some have been on
duty almost constantly for twenty
four hours at Il time. Several cases OF
fever developed about ten days ago but
no thought was given at the time of Il
general outbreak. During the week
now closing, however. the cases began
TO multiply so rapidly that il became
necessary to close all the public schools
in Front Royal and Riverton, Ardleish
college. school for girls. and RAN
dolph- Macon Academy. 1t is said that
practically all the students of Ardleigh
College got away from town before
the disease spread so rapidly. but about
fifteen young men attending the Ran
dolph Macon institution are i'll of the
fever. Scores of other young men left
for their homes Immediately upon
hearing OF the epidemic
The disease has been traced directly
to the Front Royal water supply. An
analysis made recently by chemists
showed no traces of the typhoid germ,
but second analysis, made after a
dead horse and q bagful of dead cats
are alleged to have been dragged from
the towns reservoir, disclosed the fact
that the water was laden with the
germs. The reservoir, which is sit
uated on top of tho Blue Ridge Noun
| tain. is fed by watershed, and Ia not
inclosed or covered
Hundreds of horses which arc being
trained and developed for the United
States Army at the Front Royal re-
mount depot, have been allowed to
iroam mt Will over the mountain, and II
is thought the dead horse found in the
reservoir was one Of the animals owned
by the government. 1t Is supposed to
have wandered away and fallen into
the water Thus far no death has been
reported. but many who have contract
ed tho disease are desperately Ill. A
large number of tho residents OF Front
Royal and Riverton have taken their
families to other towns until n thor.
ough investigation is made and the
reservoir cleaned.
