HIGH SCHOOL GIRL IS VICTIM OF DIPHTHERIA.

Daughter of Vincent Eisele Dies After Short Sickness That Did Not Contine Her to Bed. Mary, the 16-year-old daughter of Mr. and. Mrs. Vincent Eisele, south of town, died this Friday morning at 5 o’clock, of what seems to be acuti ciphtheria. Recently she suffered a broken wrist and the arm had been in i cast which was removed last Saturday. At that time she complained of having a sore throat and it was examined by the family physician and ireated. About the middle of the week the throat seemed worse and more medicine was given, although the physician did not see the case again until shortly before, death occurred this Friday morning. He was given a hurried call and found the young patient almost deajfl and life became extinct a few minutes after his arrival. The mother stated that she had raised the daughter to a sitting posture to change her gown a short time before he arrived and that she almost died at that time, the position she was in evidently serving to make breathing very difficult. —The'case is a difficult one to understand. Apparently from the culture examination following death there was certainty of diphtheria germs, but in some other respects the case resembed tonsilitis. The physician took the precaution against spread by administering anti-toxin to the other three children and also to the parents. The girl that died returned from a visit to Chicago several weeks ago and it is thought possible that the disease germs had been contracted while there. The funeral will be held late this evening and will, of course, be strictly private. Interment in Weston cemetery.
