Five Cases of Smallpox in Benton.
. 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. . County Judge Wat
ters was also telephoned and ar
rangements were made wherebv
the men are now safely enscono d
within the hospitable walls of an
old log cabin just west of Philo
math. There is no doubt about this
being smallpox, as the leading
physicians of the city are agreed
upon this point. It may be
Manila itch, but Manila itch is
smallpox.
