ETOWAH COUNTY LOW DEATH RATE
 ATTRACTS NOTE
State Board Of Health To Make Official Check
 Of Figures

GADSDEN, Ala. Oct. 7.--Etowah county's death rate is so low as not only to attract attention of health au' thorities throughout the county, but the Alabama board of health has sent it's official register. ". T. Sales. here to check over the death certificates and other records of the county health unit. Mir. Sales states that all of the counties in northeast Alabama are showing un- usually low death rates this year and that the state authorities want to verify the figures before publishing them. Dr. c. l.. Murphree, county health officer, declares the showing Is due to the re- markable work of the county health unit in sanitation, tuberculosis proven tion and constant clinics for children.
 Woman Loses Suit-The case In which Lucia Johns was suing Patrol man John Gross of Alabama City for the death of her husband, Charlie Johns, was thrown out of court Tuesday be- cause the evidence failed to show that the officer was connected with the man s death. The evidence is said to have shown that Mrs. Johns had srtuck her husband on the head with . saucer, that he went tc q doctor and had the wound dressed and that when he got back home police were called in by Mrs. Johns because of the row Johns had kicked up. Gross, 1t was charged, hit him on the head with his club, but the scalp was not broken. This was on August 2I, 1923. On September Z, following, Johns was sent to the insane hospital at Tuscaloosa where he died September 20. A post mortem exami' nation is said to have shown that he did not die from a blow on the head. The wife, however, sued the officer for S25 900 damages, losing the cast through the affirmative charge to the jury Tuesday.
