nurse to wait on the patient. The case is so well isolated that there is little danger of the disease spreading. The patient’s name is John Miller, and he claims to hail from Rincon. He states that a small, well-dressed doctor in Deming told him that he had small-pox, and that another gentleman gave him $2 and told him to come to Silver City. At Deming he had been sleeping in an empty building, along with several other men — probably tramps — and if the disease was contagious at that time prob- ably several others will also be sent here, but if they are they will be returned to Deming. The action of the gentlemen who gave Miller the two dollars and told him to come here, is severely criticized. This action might have been the means of spreading the contagion, and en- dangering the lives of many people. It may have been the act of a man who did not know any better, but that is hardly probable. Miller is getting along nicely, thanks to the prompt action of the city council.
