: sausage was seized with similar symp-
toms, and died on the day that her
brother was buried. Since then the
father and mother, three sisters and
four brothers have been seized with
4 the same sickness and no hope is en-
/ tcrtained for the recovery of any OF
them.
/ 1t has been learned that the nog
from which the sausage was made,
was fond of chickens, and that a few
days before being slaughtered, it had
/ devOurcd a number of chickens that
had died from cholera and the bodies
thrown into the field whcre the hog
was pasturing.
| One Of the younger sons, Otto, was
the last to be stricken, he having been
away from home with his grand
parents. When his family became
sick he returned home to take care of
them, and not suspccting that the
sausage was responsible for the de
plOrab!e conditions, he ate some Of l.
and was himself taken suddenly i'll.

One of the physicians from this city
who was called to Egypt Mills in con-
sutation with DR.. Seibert, in an in
terview with Tribune representative
last evening, said: every symptom
displayed, as described by Osner. IN
dicates the presence of trichinac in
abundance.
81 am Of the firm belief that the
sickness was caused by eating pork
that was infected with trichinae."
In describing rhc symptoms, the
doctor continued: "Trichinae is a
parasite found often in the flesh of The
hog, and all pork should be thorough
| " cooked before eaten.
"When taken into the human stom-
ach, they multiply very rapidly and
soon find their way to every part Of
! the body, and while their presence
does not always cause death, the NOR
tality is very great.
"While some of the afflicted mem
beers of the Kirchoff family may re-
cover, the conditions are grave, ami
at this time there is no certainty rs
/ to the outcome.
"While l feel certain that my dag
nosis is correct, will know positive
/ ly when l hear from DR.. Tiedeman. a
recognized bacteriologist of st. Louis,
to whom I have sent a specimen to be
analysed"

( At first 1t was believed that the
/ deaths were due to typhoid fever, bat
later developments nave Gjs2royed
that idea, and the pin si,jans ~ this
/ time are unable to reach 4 definite
/ conclusion as To the cause CT tI.is I'M
usual and destructive Ec5t;ienca to
which the family have fallen victims.
/ 1t is now argued by some who have
acquainted themselves with circum-
stances surrounding and leading up
to the present distressed condition,
that the family is suffering with chOl-
era and that this entire section is in
hanger Of its communicating effect.
/ Some Of the physicians are said to
have refused to have further connec-
lion with the case, through fear Of
infection. and others have been franz,
to admit that they have never before
contended with similar symptoms.
The victims have thus FAR been
stricken suddenly, almost instantly
entering into stage Of dclirium dur
ing which time they are afflicted with
raging fever. When the fever sub
dues their sickness still continues, the
abdominal region becomes SO scnsi-
/ tive that any movement causes ex-
cruciating pain, ard the flesh becomes
so sensitive in all parts of the body
that the slightest contact causes SUI
fering to the afflicted person.
About a week ago this strange sick
ness first made its appearance in Tho
{irchoff family, and today, two arr
dead, and nine of the remaining Ter
are sick and no hopes are entertained
for their recovery.
DR.. Glenn Seibert, who first pro-
nOunced the sickness as typhoid fever
is reported to have retracted his state
ment and to have admitted that the
symptoms are entirely new to his ex-
perience in the practice of medicine.
Several physicians from the Cape
have visited the stricken family, and
while none OF them are agreed as tc
the character of the malady, all OF
them are positive that it IS not ty-
phoid fever.
Investigation develops II 1T short
time before the appearance of this
mysterious epidemic in the Kirchoft
household most of the members had
partaken freely of some fresh pork
sausage that had. been prepared from
the flesh of hog that was fattened
and slaughtered during the first cold
spell several days ago.
Shortly after eating some of the
nletwurst, the oldest son was strick-
en- with sudden cramrs. closely follow
cd with high fever, and soon after the
fever began to abate he expired.
