Show JOHNSON IS BETTER. County Physician Lost No Time in Sending Him to the Infirmary. Since his removal to tho county infirmary infirm-ary Sam( Johnson, the laborer who was so badly burned at a camp lire, has begun to mend and thero is now every reason to bellevo that ho will recover. County Physician H. N. 'Mayo yesterday yester-day oxplalned his connection with tho case, saying: "When tlio man was first brought into tho county Jail I dressed his burns and saw that ho was properly cared for. There was no charge against him and, after a few days, the Sheriff released him. 1 knew nothing moro of tho case until I got a messago to go to tho city jail and attend Johnson. This I refused to do as It Is unquestionably tho duty of tho city physician to caro for city prisoners as I do for the Inmates of tho county Jail. Tho next day I was called up from the Jail and told that tho man was thero as a lodger- Remembering tho name I had no further occasion to look Into the man's condition, but I telephoned to havo him sent to the infirmary." |
