SOME CASES OF SMALLPOX HERE

All Are Very Mild and Patients Are Under Quarantine. Claude Kruzan, who was confined to his home all last week with what was supposed to have been an attack of the “flu,” developed a very mild case of smallpox the last of the week, and the family are closely quarantined. The rest of the family have been vaccinated and it is hoped will not contract the disease. Elmer Jacks of southeast of town is also down with the disease and is said to have contracted it at the same time and place as Mr. Kruzan, where it is said a family having the disease was present. Harry Waymire, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Waymire' of this city, is also a victim of the disease, but is getting along nicely as are all the other patients.
