Benton County has ' five gen uine cases of smallpox, and the e are grave fears that tuere wul be an epidemic. Jake Hurlburt and Kay Jones are getting well, but three cases out in the country have developed, within the list tew days and unless severe meas- : ures are at once - adopted the whole valley will be peppered with the pest. On Monday, J. A. Hawkins, who lives above Philomath and has been working for the "Benton County Lumber Company, came down to Corvallis to celebrate with smallpox broken out all over his face. Chief Lane arrested him, and, as he did not care to have a case on, hand that properly belonged to the county officials, he ordered Hawkins to go back to his camp at the Mill and stay there until he got well. This Hawkins promised to do, but in stead he went as far as Philomath where he found another man by the name of Speedy who, as was discovered, was nearly as badly broken out as Hawkins. These two, both drunk, hired Henry Ambler's rig and struck out for Albany, arriving there Monday night, The au thorities at Albany, without knowing of their former, esca Jh e, promptly arrested them and -fL a . ' .u . 1 ...... oyer night and Tuesday morning started them back towards Phil omath. The authorities at PhiJ- tmath were notified to be $n the lookout, but were very mttcn friehtened. - - i, .. The two men were headed c U about two miles this side of Phil omath and were told to surrec der. , But not a. man cared to be first to take them. This w s about two o'clock Wednesday and the Philomath authorities corral ed the two men in a fence corner and sent for S. N. Wilkins county coroner to hold a prelim iaary inquest or ante-mortem ex amination. .
