Arrest Him. STATEMENTS CONFLICT JOHN KARFAGE, OF THE WAV. MANSVILLE NEIGHBORHOOD, WAS NOT BROUGHT INTO THE BARTHOLOMEW CIRCUIT COURT. "I havent the heart to do it," said Deputy Sheriff Lew Thompson, Thursday, when he saw the condition of John Karfage, of the Waymansville neighborhood, for whom had a warrant, charging him with breaking into a house" with intent to commit larceny. Deputy Sheriff Thompson wa3 accompanied by GUck, of Kast Columbus, and when they 1 ar rived at the 'ramshackle hovel 'Which the man wanted calls his home, they found him lying on a dirt begrimed straw tick -and covered -by a feather tick even more dirt begrimed, 'if that were possible.

As sooti as the two men entered-' the hovel Karfage asked them if they had brought him anything to eac They replied that they had not, but that if he would get up and go' to Waymansville with them they would get him something to eat. Karfage attempted to get out of bed, but when he put his feet 'on the floor he laid pack, apparently in much pain. Deputy Sheriff Thompson read the warrant which he had for the arrest of Karfage to him, but he refused to bring him to Columbus. Instead he sought the township trustee, whom he told of TIarf age's condition and advised him to provide the man with medical attention and some food. The deputy sheriff told the trustee that Karfage- was suffering from frozen feet and hands and he believed he had had nothing to eat for, several days.

Trustee sen a physician to see Karfage as requested, and this morning the trustee called at this office and requested the publication of the following statement from the phy8isiah, which is self-explanatory: Waymansville, Feb. 8, 1912.1 William Uffman, Trustee Jackson township. Dear I visited John Karfage this afternoon, as directed by. you, and failed -tp find any evidence of frozen, feet or hands, as you told xnei He has a puncture wound on his left foot, Baid to have been caused by a nail," but other than that his: physical condition Is as good as it has been for two years.

County Health Commissioner TVlorrison "Tells of Disease and Death SfilALLPOX LEADS ALL 1 TWENTY-ONE CASES IN COLUM BUS AND TWELVE IN COUNTY AREA DURING PAST MONTH RULES GIVEN FOR VARI OUS DISEASES. In his report for January, Dr. James H. Morrison, of Hartsville, county health commissioner, says the follow ing: -i Considerable sickness prevailed during the month but the number of deaths was quite below the average per month for- the near 1911, which was sixteen. The prevailing diseases were la- broncho-pneumonia and small The I contagious diseases reported were distributed as follows: City of Columbus: Smallpox, 21; diphtheria, tuberculosis, 1, County area: Smallpox.

12; diphtheria, tuberculosis, measles, typhoid fever, 3. tJ; The smallpox in the county area was distributed by townships as follows Sandcreek, 1 Wayne, 5 German, total, 12. The cases in Wayne township were in a family that moved from Columbus' after having been exposed and before it was known they had been exposed. Dr. Carmichael, of Walesboro, has had this family in charge and has suc ceeded in keeping jJie disease confin ed to the one family.

Have been un able to trace source of exposure of first cases in other townships. The City Board of Health of Co- I lumbus has been very diligent In trying to prevent the spread of smallpox and has succeeded well notwith standing the disease has been largely among1 class that seem willing to break the quarantine' rather than try to maintain it. i Think sometimes, in these contagi ous diseases, perhaps we raise quar antine too soon. The period of quar antine required by the rules of the State Board of Health in some of the principal i contagious diseases is as follows: I Smallpox For the patient, not less than( 21 days after the beginning i of the disease and until all crusts and scales have fallen off or been remov ed, and the disinfection of patient, clothing and premises. For exposed persons, quarantine for 14 days from the date of last exposure, unless sue cessfully vaccinated.

Children must be excluded from school for 7 days following: the removal of quarantine, Scarlet i Fever1 For the patient and children in the family with -the pa tient, quarantine for not less than 21 days from the' beginning of the dis ease. Exclusion of the patient and children associated with the patient, from school for ten dayB after remov al of quarantine. Diphtheria-j For the patient, quar antine until the secretions from nose and throat are free from -the diphtheria Infection as shown by bacter iological examination of such secre tions. For children associated with or in the family; with the patient, quarantine nntil death or recovery of the pMient, and disinfection of person, clothing and premises: Provided that other children of the family who shall receive an immunizing dose of anti-toxine of not less than 1,000 units may be from quarantine at the discretion of the' health officer having jurisdiction; Children associated with or in the family with the patient shall be excluded from school for 7 days after release from' quarantine unless a medical i certificate of having receiv ed an Immunizing dose of not less than; 1,000 units of antitoxine is furnished, f-' H. Health Commissioner, Bartholomew County.

Dr. Morrison calls attentionlato the fact that ihe, law provides that where there Is a contagious or infectious disease in house and no physician is called it becomes the duty of the householder to report the disease to the health officer of that community. Dr. Morrison says the smallpox spread in Nineveh and German townships because the cases were light and no physicians were called. As a result no reports were made.
