Clifford McCombs, said to live At
sos Eleventh street, was fined $40
by Magistrate d. J. ClelAnd In po-
lice court this morning on = charge
Of violating the city health ordi-
mace in not reporting smallpox At
The McCombs case is said by
Health Inspector L. K, Eihl and
Dr.. A. N. Mueller, city health COM
missiohers, to be another instance
Of persons being exposed to small
pox
McCombs said in court that three
or four weeks ago he became few
erish and had called . physician,
who told him to report any further
Developments OF his case. How
ever, he said that he did not call
the physician again. He admitted
that small eruptions had broken
out on him.
Recently Inspector Eihl has re
'ceived reports that various per
sons in the neighborhood had been
seen with skin eruptions similar to
smallpox, and he began an investi-
CATION. He told Magistrate Cleland
that when he arrived at the Nc
Combs home he found Mrs. NC
Combs, their son and Mr.. McCombs
brother-in-law victims Of the dis
ease. A quarantine sign was
placed on the house and McCombs
located and placed under arrest. II
was claimed by Mr.. Eihl that Nc
Combs was the first to contract the
disease in the family, and that there
was clear case Of law violation in
his not reporting the case or call
ing a physician, who would have
then reported the case.
Mueller Gives Warning.
DR.. Mueller issued a statement
this morning that the city health
department does not intend tc
brook the slightest violation Of the

said that arrests will be made fol

He expressly warned that no ex.
cuses will be taken by the depart.
ment, and that persons suffering
from the influenza should know
that skin eruptions are not symp'
tom Of the flu and should repcri
all such cases, as an excuse thai
they believed 1t only a flu symptom
will not be accepted in a plea FOL
leniency.
