Show "FLU'' BREAKS OUT I AGAIN IH STATE I , Residents of This Place Attending H Woolgrowers' Convention H Bring Home Disease. I FEARED IM.AC.liK HAS BIG HOLD AGAIN IN UTAH Every Precaution Being Taken to H Curtail Disease and Limit it to Present Exposures. With the return of residents of this fl place from Salt lake City, where they had been for the annuaul Woolgrow- ers' convention, influenza has once more made its appeartance in Cedar City. Mr. J. E. Anderson was the first to develop the disease and exposed an auto full of people who came over from Lund with him, nearly all of which have since come down with the dread malady. To the hour of going to press the following families are re- ported to have developed the disease: J. K. Anderson, Andrew Hansen, S. B. Jones, Webster Leigh, Myron F. Hig- bee, John R. Robinson, and probably E. A. Thompson, superintendent of the Dixie Power company, though this H last case is not yet fully determined. All were in Salt Lake City for the H Woolgrowers' convention and all, we flH arc Informal, came across from Lund in the same automobile. ' All exposures have been traced as carefully as possible, and in all about fl 10 homes are tied up awaiting devel- flH opmentR. It is hoped by the exercise HJ of rigid quarantine auiT other precau- tions thut the disease can be eradicated without closing everything up tight, i ' and without the wide spread and fa- I tal consequences wrich marked its via- ! it of something more than' a year ago; VJ but the attitude of the people them- -' H solves and their co-operation mtk tlw .. . fl!"I el health officers will largely determine 1 l Cedar people who irere In Salt l.ak. iflfl City report that there was a great Vflafll deal of suspicious sickness there, trut thee were probably forty people sick at the Utah Hotel, and yet that there . .1 wos scarcely any stir about it, and IH that no one suspected the true state H of affairs until it was too late to avoid flH exposure. It is feared that the entire fl state has baafl erposed and that we "" may have another such epidemic as we had in the winter of ltllK-19, aim H that thousands of cases may develop M in all sections of the state. In Chic- H ago and the east the disease is rhn- H ning rampant again, with many fatal- t ities, and there is grave alarm over M the itb.it ion in this state. The Salt Lake newspapers are, as ' usual, conspicuously silent about the M situation there, but from private ad- M vices it is learned that the people are H being taken to the hospitals in great M numbers suffering with the "flu." M Cedar City is maintaining a strict 9 quarantine against Salt Lake City and M the northern part of the state. H |
