 Second Local Death
 The second death that has occurreu as a result of the influenza epidemic took place early yesterday morning, at the Copper Queen hospital. Pneu- monia, following influenza was the cause of death assigned by the at tending physicians.
 There are approximately 200 cases of influenza in the Warren district, according to Dr. Brown, city health officer. The epidemic continues to spread, regardless of the efforts of the health department, city and county, seconded by the hard, concentrated work of every physician in the dis trict However, pr. Brown said the cases reported to him yesterday were fewer in number than on the previous day and all appeared to be more or less mild in form.
 The spread of influenza in other parts of Cochise county continues, ac- cording to Dr. c. H. Hunt county health officer. However, there are not as many cases in Douglas as in the Warren district, nor have any deaths been reported from other parts of the county, thus far.
 There are approximately half a dozen cases of pneumonia in Bisbee as a result of influenza, two or them being reported from the Copper Queen hospital.
 4 distressing condition obtains here in that there are several cases of in- fluenza in the district for which no nursing attention can be obtained. Al though strong effort was made yester- day, no nurse could be gotten for Mrs. Frank Tracy and her two children, all of whom are sick in bed with the malady. MT. Tracy died of pneumonia brought on by influenza, Wednesday night. There also are other cases where attendants have been sought without avail Apparently, if there be any nurses here who are unengaged at present, they fear the disease and will not undertake the cases.
 The physicians of the city complain of the practice of promiscuous visiting of the persons sick of the ailment Even though the person making the visit may not contract the disease, it is possible for him or her to carry it to others who have it in violent form. Not one but a number of cases of pro- miscuous visiting have come to the attention Of the doctors. It should be impressed on the people that influenza is communicable and even though the visitor may not contract it, he or she may help spread it through the com munity.
