SMALLPOX COST REACHED $3,700

Smallpox cases 218 of them during the month of December alone, cost the city $3,700, and all of the bills incurred as a result of the cases have not been paid. . . The monthly report of Dr. S. G. Smelser, secretary of the city. board of health, shows that there were this number of smallpox cases in Richmond during the month of December. The big expense of the smallpox cases in Richmond is due partly to the fees charged by Dr. E. H. Mendanhall and Dr. W. G. Huffman, although these charges were strictly in conformity with the law. In Kansas City, 229 cases of smallpox cost the health board of that place, for three months, a total of approximately $3,000. The cost of giving 100,000 vaccinations in Kansas City was approximately $1,000. In Richmond, the city physicians charged 50 cents each for vaccinations. Part of the expense of treating the disease in Richmond was for furnishing all of the quarantined families with food and provisions. However, all of the bills have not been paid. The heavy cost in meeting the disease resulted in a balance of only $14,391.01 being left In the hands of the city controller on January 1. This is a lower balance than it ever has been during the last four years.

YAQUI INDIANS KILL TRAVELERS

The train was the continuation of the one which left Nagales yesterday morning, and was made up at Empalme for the trip south. Advices said the attack occurred at a point known as Pitahaya. A military escort of about seventy-five federal soldiers on board was greatly outnumbered. The Indians tore up the track, derailing the train. They then attacked the rear car, in which the passengers, mostly Mexicans, were massacred. The Indians then looted the baggage and express cars and rode away.
