Intestinal Disease
Spreads Over Southwest

KANSAS CITY. Mo.-Whether
the mysterious Intestinal ma1a-
dy which has affected several
hundred persons in Kansas and Ok
lahoma, exists in other communities
of the southwest, was a matter of
specula ton this week here Pending
reports, officials OF the two states
were trying to identify the disease
and employ means of checking it's
spread.
Topeka, Kan, and Muskogee, Okla,
apparently were the worst sufferers.
At Topeka 200 cares had been re-
ported and unofficial estimates placed
the number at 1000. Many school
children were among those i'll. At
Muscogee there were about 300 cases.
No fatalities were reported at
either place and the death list from
the maiady remained at four, all at
Skiatook, the little Oklahoma town,
where it first became prevalent. The
situation at Skiatook was believed to
be under control however.
