SECOND REPORT

United States government representa-
tives here have also received practically
the same report from a Chinese refugee
who arrived in Juarez Thursday night.
These reports agree that Villa and his
bandits, after occupying the mining
town, ordered the foreigners killed, looted
the stores, arrested many of the natives
and held them for ransom and committed
other depredations.
The Chinese refugee who arrived last
night said at least 20 Chinese had been
killed in Parral and that Is Arabs, He
brews and Syrians had been put to death.
He did not know the number of the other
foreigners killed, although he said an
other Chinese, who fled from Parral, had
told him in Jiminez that 'all the for
eigners had been put to DEATH
OF the foreigners believed to have been
in Parral when Villa entered, American
mining company officials here say there
were at least five. and probably six,
Americans. Five Americans who left
two days before the town was evacuated
reached Culiacan, message received by

in a deep hole in the ground and
thoroughly covered with dirt to
keep the flies away. It is not safe
practice to empty vessels into the
sewer as TIE city sewer at present
empties into the Waxahachie creek
and if the bacilli should not all be
killed they may be carried for q
long distance and infect others. All
bed linen should be at once disin-
fected with very strong solution of
biehloride sof mercury before being
sent to the laundry. Dishes or other
utensils should not be carried out of
the room unless they be first boiled.
THE best way for the city to pre-
vent trouble in the near future is
to properly care for the cases we
now have. The people who are not
able to buy the disinfectant should
have it furnished them by the city.
Ii Is the practice OF several families
at the present time to empty yes
sells in out houses and the flies are
going to carry the ,bacill every
where. If YOU have any flies you are
likely to have chance of infection.
THE city has health officer who
is able and willing to do efficient
work and it is up to the people to
help him handle the situation in a
way that will improve sanitary con-
ditions. 1t is true that we only have
a few typhoid fever cases at present
but We must get busy and clean up
this town or we may have many such
cases."

.MAHY REASONS ARE
ASSIGNED FOR TYPHOID
OIT-OF-DOOR CLOSETS AND IN
SANITARY CONDITION II
TIE CAUSE GIVEN.
DIR. l.. -. Parnell In An Interview
suggests Reasons For Threat
ensd Epidemic Which l.
ssverest Type.

The prevalence OF a number or
cases Of typhoid fever in Waxaha-
chic has caused considerable unrest
among the people and the local ply
sicians have been questioned many
times concerning the probable source
OF the near-epidemic Just what the
source Is may be a question OF dis
rute but suggestions from the ply
sicians themselves will be worth
something, hence we give an inter
view with Or. l.. ID. Parnell:
1T is only when disease breaks
out and causes alarm that the peo-
pie give sanitary conditions of the
city very much consideration. Tine
filth is permitted to remain In many
places Of this city throughout the
year and Ia the direct cause OF much
of the sickness. and many deaths.
When some disease breaks out IN
epidemic form, or bordering upon
IL there is much talk OF the need OF
cleaner city, but just as soon as
conditions return to normal, Clean
up enthusiasm is lost and we con-
tinue to live on amidst the unsani-
tary surroundings. To be sure there
are parts Of the city that are as clean
as could well be made, yet there
are many places where Improvement
can be made and where II must be
made or people are going to be sick
and may die as result. 1t does
very little good for one person TO
clean off the vacant lot and have a
fine crop OF weeds go to seed next
to him. Only united effort can.
bring about desired results and free
tho city from the communicating con-
dstion that exists. 1t will do no
good to ease our conscience on the
fact that some other towns are not
as sanitary as ours. They are fac
ing the Game problems we are and
until all are clean they are in a
dangerous condition.
Beyond doubt the worst thing
With which we have to deal Is the
outdoor closets. II Is the belief OF
many physicians that these closets
are the source OF danger just now.
and the theory is altogether plausi-
BILE. Many of the alleys of this city
ere literally lined with old tin cans
and rubbish of every sort. These
cans furnished breeding places for
mosquitoes during the. past summer
and with the old unused, open. fiji
thy wells and cisters furnished us
rice little hatch OF the pests often
enough for the merchants to sell
hundreds of yards OF mosquito net
ting. All this could have been pre-
