BULLWHACKER
THE SMALLPOX SITUATION

One new case developed in Eureka
this week. Charles Minoletti, after
returning from Elko, broke out with
smallpox and is now quarantined at
his home. All other cases previously
reported are on the road to recovery.
There is one mistake which the
people of the community should avoid
making, and that is accusing every
one who becomes sick of having small
pox. 1t should be remembered that
often illness can and does occur 9TH
er than smallpox. Therefore no one
should cast reflection upon a family
unless positive knowledge is had con-
corning the cause of their sickness.
The Health Officer endeavors to
learn of all contagious cases and will
quarantine where quarantine is justi-
fed.
The general situation is considered
better.

not believe that the statute cited by

drawn. as this statute has been be-

no attempt on the part of the pleader

I, therefore, conclude that in view
of the cases cited that the plaintiff is
not entitled to recover on either of
the three causes OF action. The plain

Careful consideration of the entire
case and reading of the briefs Of both

conclusion only-that the plaintiff
cannot recover in any of these three
causes of action and. therefore. judg-
