Charles e. Swan of Rapidan was
brought before the municipal court
shortly after noon on charge of
violating the state quarantine ordi
nances. The complaint was made
by William Eberhart, who alleges
that the day before Thanksgiving
Mr.. Swan went from his home
where one of his children was con-
fined with the scarlet fever and
mingled with some of the people in
the neighborhood. When Mr. Swan
was called upon to plead, he said
that he did not know what plea to
enter, saying that he had been
ordered to go to work on the road
by one of the members of the
board of health of Rapidan. That
is the reason why he had left his
home. Judge W. l.. Comstock en-
tered plea of not guilty for the
defendant and his trial was contin-
ued until Monday at ten o'clock
