Two More Cases of Diphtheria Reported In Family at Newland.

Two more cases of diphtheria have broken out in the family of Wm. Rees at Newland. The quarantine over The - Rees family, which was established several weeks ago was removed and the family had been thought entirely well until the death a few days ago of the daughter of James Jefferies, of Gifford, who had been working in the Rees family and who had been quarantined there when members of the Rees family were sick. Wednesday, Dr. Linton, of Medaryville, was called to the Rees home and found two of the children suffering from the disease. He administered anti-toxin and made report to the county health officer and again established a quarantine. The disease has existed there for about a month and the health officer will endeavor to break it up, probably having to close the schools until it is stamped out.
