Death Calls.

Mr.. Robert w. Cannon pass
ed away at the emergency hos
pital early Monday morning from
an attack of pneumonia, and the
body was shipped to his former
home at Reno, New, Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Cannon was in
the prime of a vigorous manhood,
being only forty-eight years of
age, but pneumonia developed
quickly when he was stricken
with the influenza, and the skill
of doctors and nurses availed
naught. Mr.. Cannon was a
conductor on the Santa Fe, COM
ing here three years ago from
Nevada with his wife, and they
soon won for themselves warm
place in the hearts of our peo-
pie. The sympathy of the en-
tire community goes out in full
ness to Mrs. Cannon in the sad
aff1iction that has come upon her,
robbing her of the strong pro-
tecting arm she had learned to
lean upon with confidence and as
surance. Mrs. Cannon accom-
panied the remains to Reno, but
will return shortly to close up her
home and take up her residence
either in Nevada or California.

Fast Dying Out.

do WllSlOW is concerned, is fast
dying out, but one or two new
cases being reported this week.
The patients in the hospitals are
now less than fifteen, and manv
OF these are from outlying pre-
clncts who have been brought in
for care in the emergency hos
pitals. There are only three or
four of the patients who are in
any serious condition, and it is
expected all of them will be dis
charged and the hospital closed
early next week.
The total number of deaths re-
ported from the hospital up until
last evening is twenty-four, the
last death being Mr.. Tenney. a
young man from Taylor, who
was taken to the hospital last
Monday suffering from pneumo-
MIA in an acute stage. He pass
away yesterday morning.
| DR.. Redewill, of Phoenix. is
now the physician IN charge,
having been sent here last Mon
day by the state board of health,
in order that other physicians
could be released for other places.
The nurses sent in here are being
released as fast as possible to
other towns afflicted, and only
three or four are left. who are be-
ing ably assisted by our local
trained nurses.
Winslow's experience with this
disease has abundantly demon
strated that if prompt action is
taken to care for the afflicted the
fatalities would be very few.
There have been more than 500
cases IN town, and our death rate
is far below other towns where
fewer cases were developed. And
even the low death rate is not
fair estimate of the efficiency of
the hospital, as more than half
of the deaths were people who
did not go to the hospital until
they had well-developed cases of
pneumonia, and several were al
most at the point of death when
received.
When the disease first made it's
appearance Gov. Hunt was called
upon at once for assistance, and
in addition to sending DR.. Brown,
the state health officer, who at
once organized the emergency
hospital, the Governor continued
sending doctors and nurses as
fast as he could locate them. In
three or four days the hospital
was manned by five physicians
and fifteen nurses, and with the
assistance of an army of volun-
teer nurses, the work was hand
led successfully from the start,
and the epidemic was soon under
control.
1t is not amiss at this time to
say a word about the loyalty of
the Winslow school teachers dur
ing the epidemic. Immediately
on the opening of the hospital
every teacher came forward as
volunteer worker, and day and
night they have given unselfshly
of their time and abilities, and
looking back over the three
weeks work we wonder how the
city could have managed the
heavy task without the hearty
cooperation of the school facul-
ty. How pleasant it is to know
we have a corps of teachers in
our public schools who are capa- |
BILE and efficient and have per-
sonal interest in the welfare of |
the town and it's people.

War Savings Pledges.

Mr.. Harry Tritle, state direc-
tor for the war savings pledges,
is urging all who have made
pledges to purchase stamps to get
busy making purchases to the
amount of their pledge. There
are several thousand dollars in

and to maintain our high stand
ing as meeting all demands of the
government for support of the
war it is hoped these purchase
pledges will be promptly taken
up.

ond division.
Mr.. Geo. Heuser informs US
his son Myron sailed for France a
week ago last Saturday, and he

gotiations for peace about that
time.
DR.. Sampson has been watch
ing the trains for several days
hoping to see his son George,
who has been ordered from Camp
Kearney for duty on the other
side of the water. He has about
given up looking for him, as he
probably travelled east over the
northern route.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Donivan
