KENTUCKIANS
DIED OF INFLUENZA
UP TO DECEMBER |
State Health Boards Report Shows
That 1896 Victims in Kentucky
Were Heads Of Families.

There have been approximately 2OO,-
600 cases of influenza and pneumonia
and 5000 deaths in Kentucky from the
first appearance of the epidemic in
this State up to December 1.
These facts were revealed by DR..
]. N. Mccormack, secretary of the
State Board of Health, in an official
statement just issued, showing that a
total of 7,017 deaths had been report
ed to the boards bureau Of vital sta
tlstics, and he estimates there were,
in the same period, about 1000 deaths
in mountain districts and other sec
tions of the State where physicians
could not be obtained, and consequent
ly no reports made.
DR.. Mccormack, in commenting up
on the statement, said the epidemic
was first noticed in Kentucky at Bowl
ing Green September %.
It was brought to the State, he said,
by a battalion of soldiers from a
Southern cantonment, who were en-
tertained in the city two days while
en- route to Camp Zachary Taylor.
He also attributes the appearance of
the disease at the Louisville camp to
this battalion. he said.
Although the death toll is larger
than previously estimated, It is some
what lower than in other States, DR.
Mccormack says, and he attributes
this fact to preventive measures
adopted in Kentucky early in Octo-
ber, and, especially, to restrictions
imposed October and maintained un-
til early in November.
Conditions in nearly all parts of the
State at this time are greatly i'm
proved, DR.. Mccormack reports, ant
prospects for elimination of the dis
ease in the near future are bright.

showing the various classifications o
the death toll, and comparative state
ment for the three months when thu
epidemic was at its height, follows:

Several DAYS ago William Gilbert

asainst John Gilbert and John Jen-

Eve.
On the stand this afternoon William
Gilbert claimed that Jenkins checked
him while either Jenkins or George
Gilbert struck him in the head several
times. This was denied by jenkins
who said that William Gilbert struck
him in the hand with knife and he
displayed the wound.
George Gilbert, who is better known
as Hogan, when he took the stand
made a clean breast of the whole af-
fair. He said that Will Gilbert was
drunk and attempted to cut a cigar
cite from Jenkins mouth when he
Hogan, grabbed Will Gilbert. The
