One hundred and ninety-two cases
Of Spanish influenza developed in this
city during Sunday, Monday. Tues
day and Wednesday. this number OF
cases having ben reported to the city
health physician, Dr. II. l. Criss, by
practically all the physicians in the
CITY. OF the number Of cases re-
ported there was only one case where
the disease had developed tnto:Qneu-
monia-
DR.. Criss attributes this not so
much to the fact that the disease in
its present development is not so Sc
we're as heretofore, but more to the
fact that people are learning to take
better care Of 1t and thus avoid pneu-
monia developments
Since the seriousness Of the dis
ease has manifested itself through the
large number Of cases which have re-
suited fatally, people have learned to
guard against the serious develop
n.ents which often accompany the
disease, and when attacked by the
pualady give up and take care OF It
rather than try to combat 1t and
Sunday there were So cases report
ed: Monday, AZ; Tuesday, 81, and

deayor to ascertain whether or not

Wilson ofund that IN the ". r. White
school the attendance avs cut down
less than 10 per cent. OF 31S pupils
enrolled in this school there were a
total of 80 absent during the past ten
days. These thirty were absent Tor
the following causes: Five from IN
fuenza; three from homes where
there were cases OF the malady; seven
with colds; two with sore throats;
six i'll from causes other than coIos'
seven absent, causes unknown
Mr.. Wilson believes what applies
to this school would apply alos to the
other schols Of this city. A ten per
cent decrease In attendance In the
city schools at this time Of the year
Is r unusual and 1t is believed the
attendance Is not materially affected
by the influenza situation. Every
precautIon Is being taken by school
officials to see that no spread OF the

headquarters last night to the effect
that there was woman in distress at
the Carrico hotel. Night Chief Sea
man accompanied by Constable leslie
Michael, went to the hosiery and
found that the case in question was
out of their Jurisdiction. Annie Yash-

GERS to the effect that her husband
had treated her tnhumanely and she
wanted the assistance Of the authori-
ties. The woman related that her hus-
band when sober treated her well but
that he frequently became drunk and
on coming home would drive her from
her home and force her TO spend the
night in the cold. He had also burned
her clothing in order to make her stay
at home. The officers told the WON
an that she should apply to the author
tiles OF MonongaIia county for assist
ance and she later boarded the train

WITNESSES SURE
MARCENE DAVIS
WAS DERANGED
Tell in Court Abount Ac-
cused Mans Mode of
life.
PRIS0NFR INDIFFERENT
PRISONER Indifferent
Companions Say He Was
Worst When Not
Drinking.

The trial of Marcene Davis, charged
with the murder Of Doyle Everson.
was continued this morning. Court
opened at nine o'clock with the jury
in fine condition after an evening
spent at the Watson hotel under
charge Of Ed. Barrett. Some of the
jury went to bed last evening at eight
O'Clock while others remained up I'M
til midnight. The time was spent in
playing simple games or in telling
stories of various sorts. Carl Beat
.ty stayed with the jury the night be-
fore.
The morning was occupied with tes-
timony from Fay Wilson, nephew Of
the prisoner. DR.. Offner, c. W. Pat
ton ana R. E. Patton, witnesses who
testified yesterda yafternoon, called
this time by the defence.
Questions came fast this morning
and attempt wah made to bring out
contradictory statements, but witness
eS told much the same story as yes
terday. Again an argument arose as
to the right of Congressman Nicely to
so question c. w. Patton as to bring
out the fact that Marcene was an
habitual drfnker, not in his right mind.
Judge Raymond questioned his right
and both Attorneys Show and Hagger-
ty objected seriously. The jury was
excused and Congressman Nelly went
after records in an attempt to prove
his point. Attorneys Shaw and Hag-
gerty also went after law books in an
attempt to sustain their position.
Judge Raymond, after hearing both
sides. decided in favor Of Nicely. He
said that in many states, asking the
opinion of a witness, was not allowed
because it put the jury in position
Of anticipating certain verdict. IL
was finally decided that witness was
privileged to express an opinion where
he had personal knowledge.
The prisoner conducted himself
this morning in the sam2 manner as
yesterday, seemingly taking no inter
est at all in the proceedings. None of
the prisoners family were present this
morning though the baby came in for
few moments before court opened.
The rest of the family remained In
the rest room on the same floor. The
widow Of the murdered man removed
her hat this morning and smiled Sar.
caSticaliy when witnesses. stuck to the
same stories as were told yesterday
that the prisoner was irresponsible
and that everybody present was too
drunk to remember important details
Of the shooting. Occasionally she
went over to her counsel and spoke a
few worS5.
Fay Wilson was the first witness
this morning and he was disposed OF
