be drunk when found at Williams and
Amber street but when the nature of her
ailment was realized she was sent to the
Philadelphia Hospital, while the patrol
wagon and cell which she occupied were
fumigated and precautions taken by the
men who had come in contact with her.
The incident was forgotten until this
morning. when PatrOlman Louis Harper,
one of the district huskes, who weighs
325 pounds. complained of a headache and
that he was otherwise feeling funny"
II believe l got erysipelas," he said. a
moment later the same apprehension was
expressed by Sergeant Cook, of the patrol,
and his assistant, John Mcfarland. Other
members of the force then subjected
themselves to an examination, closely
scrutinizing their skin for signs of erup-
tions and catechizing themselves. House
Sergeant Malone finally became alarmed
and sent for DR.. william Zeigler, who
had charge of the case, but even the lat
ters assurance that nothing was wrong
failed to abate the fears of the men, and
a state of anxiety persists in the entire
neIghbOrhood.
