country is passing through a severe re-

be ascertained, it appears. in the form
of stomach trouble and the patient
once attacked, becomes violently i'll.
Three patients have been under the
doctors care thus far. Ray McAlister
and Clifford Fridley OF Lexington hav.
just recovered from the malady and at
the present time Horace Wells, young
son of Mr. and Mrs, D. c. Wells is quite
sick at his home here, apparently suf-
fering from the same sickness that Nc
Alister and Fridley had. The disease
first made its appearance in this part Of
the country when reports went out that
thirty or forty people in Wallowa
county were seriously i'll from a malady
which physicians were unable to dag
