Oahaa Itch at Oraad Xaland.
A special from Grand Island to
the Dee dated Dec 2d says: As a
result of a mcctingof the phjstc!ana
of the city in conjunction with the
Doard of Health the physicians
visited the Occidental hotel, a$l-a-
day house in this city, and ex
amined the cases of what is
commonly termed an itch. The
physicians, or rather ten of them,
over their signatures reported to
the mayor "that we find the
patients suffering slightly from a
contagious eruptive disease which
simulates small-pox in some degree,
but in our opinion the symptoms
arc not characteristic of this
disease. At the present time we
do not believe it dangerous to life
and it is not of bo serious a nature
as to confine many patieutB to
their rooms. Yet on account of Kb
contagious nature and a possibility
of a more serious condition develop.
ing in the future we recommend a
careful isolation of all cases that
may hereafter be discovered. Dut
we do not believe an absolute quar
antine necessary." One physician
makes a minority report to the
effect that the disease is simply the
chicken-pox.

Two Antelope Witk one Shot.
Ed Brott, of Trognitz precinct,
was out, hunting antelope the
latter part of last week and broke
the record in Cheyenne county by
killing two antelope with one shot.
The two animals were running
side by side and the rifle bullet
which was 38-calibre, struck the
first one in the neck, going clear
through and striking its companion
in such a way that it cut its throat,
Both animals fell within a short
distance of each other. If there
are any sportsmen in the county
