.K|DDER COUNTY
OFFICERS NOTE
LEPR0SY CASE
Adopt Resolutions Insisting That
State Board of Health Make
Investigation

Steele, N. D., July "A sensation
developed at the Kidder county school
officers meeting here when a commit
tee of school directors presented a
signed communication declaring that
the state board of health for more
than a year had paid no attention
to efforts made to procure an investi-
cation of an alleged case of leprosy,
from which Mary Hurst, a young wom-
an living near Crystal Springs, was
thought to be suffering. A member
of the same household has been at
tending public schools during this Pc
riod.
- AS a result of resolution adopted by
the school officers, F. C. Eastwood,
states attorney, addressed a commu-
nication to the attorney general, in
which he stated that DR.. ]. D. Fuller,
county physician, had diagnosed the
disease as leprOsy several months ago
and had so reported it to the state
board.
There are six or seven members in
the family in which Mary Hurst re-
sides. They live in a small house,
and if the disease is leprosy every
member is bound to have been ex-
posed. "They 60 to the stores, ho-
tells, postoffice, to the residences of

Not single white man convicted in
eleven years in Eddy county for theft
is not this record to be proud Of.
Quite number have piead guilty but
not one convicted who contested the
case. Nearly every night property is
stolen right in the heart # Carlsbad.
Thousands Of goats, sheep and cattle
are stolen each year. The same con-
dition developed from years Of negli-
gcnce toward the prosecution and con-
viction Of thieves in several Texas
counties and honest people were fn-
ally compelled to offer, and pay thou
sands of dollars in reyaids which has
put quietus on stealing in those
counties to some extent. During the
past month some fifty or sixty chick
ems were stolen from the Sisters hos
pital. The same thieves If i'll would
be nursed to health by the Sisters IL
they asked charity even though the
Sisters were aware of their guilt.
However, the methods Of the good Sis
ters will never put down theft and un-
I'll juries can accept as evidence the
possession of stolen goods, no thief
will ever be convicted and until the
legal machinery Of the county can be
made useful and tax payers d prop
erty holders be protected it is up to
stock owners and citizens generally to
organize and pay rewards for the
placing in prison of all classes Of
thieves. The Current will publish
free any propositions to pay rewards
for the con'I,tion and Imprisonment
Of thieves any kind.

TO PUT SECRET MARK ON
CARS IN CALIFORNIA.
Plan Is to Register With State Bureau
and Profit by Reduced Insurance
Against Theft.

San Francisco, California, Sept. IA.
Secret marking of autos as a
guard against thefts has been decided
upon in completing a system of identi.
hcation in California. The plan is to
be put into effect as soon as the de-
tails can be worked out.
August Vollmer, chief of police of
Berkeley. has been appointed chair
man Of committee to carry on the
work by the state bureau Of identifi-
cation for automobiles.
The proposed plan is for each ,uto-
mobile owner to register secret mark
on his car with the state bureau. This
is not to be compulsory. but II is ex-
pected those complying with the ar
rangement will profit by reduced in
surance against theft.
Police authorities in all California
towns and cities will be provided with
copies Of the secret mark register.
Because Of the secret marks detectives
believe that It will he virtually impos-
sible for thieves to disguise stolen au-
tomobiles so that they cannot be iden-
tilted.
