Clara. Lewis Finds Herself In Distressing-
Rltaatloa and Aathorl.
ties Are Sorely Perplexed
for a, Time.
The need of a detention hospital for
female smallpox patients was again made
manlfeat to the city health authorities yes
terday. Clara Lewis, a yrung woman em
ployed as a domestic In tiie family of John
Snethen, 1272 East Pierce street, was found
to be suffering from the disease. Her em
ployers, on her return to the house yester
day morning, after visiting with friends
over Sunday night, noticing her condition,
refused to allow her to come In the door.
The girl. It was reported to the police,
walked the streets for over an hour, un
certain what to do, until some one directed
her to the resldenoe of Or. Chrlstensen on
t'pper Broadway. Dr. Chrlstensen pro
vided a place where the girl could rest
until the health authorities could provide
for her. The health authorities, however,
were for a time at a loss to know what to
do, having no place where they could aend
her. Chief of Police Tlbblts, City Solicitor
Snyder and City Physician Houghton got
together, and It was finally decided to place
her In the care of a family named Nelson
at 1531 West Broadway, who are quaran
tined for the same disease, provided the
family would consent. Learning of the
unfortunate girl's plight, Mr. Nelson at
once consented to take the young woman
Into his house, and she was taken there
by the city physician.
The Snethen family, having been ex
posed, waa placed under quarantine for
seventeen daya.

of Herman Meyer, the 14-year-old stepson
who was arrested Saturday night. Is now
charged with complicity In the crime, and
it Id said a third arrest will be made.
Lavelleur's body was found in the debris
resulting from the burning of a small shed
on his farm, his skull having been crushed
In two places by some blunt Instrument.
It has been shown that Mrs. Lavelleur
Rnd her sons quarreled often and violently
with Lavelleur, which fact is chiefly re
sponsible for the arrest. The officers also
claim that Herman Meyer, the younger son,
made conflicting statements in explaining
the tragedy and that he admitted having
set fire to the barn, but claimed It was
accidental. No member of the family ad
mitted having ever noted the absence of
Lavelleur up to the time bis remains were
discovered by neighbors.

Dragged by a frantic runaway horse,
with one foot caught In the stirrup and his
head and shoulders striking the pavement
at every Jump for a distance of 100 yerds,
yet to return to his home practically un
injured, is the marvelous adventurs whlcn
befell Ralph Montis. The young man was
out horseback riding last evening. White
coming noith on East Sixth street the
horse took fright st a street car. The
animal Jumped and reared backwards,
throwing Montis off his bsck. The left
foot of the rider caught In the stirrup, and
ss the frightened animal started to run
the spectators saw the man dragged
along, his head striking the pavement with
every leap of the animal. From Walnut
to Locust the horse ran. An unidentified
man running from the crowd at East Slxtn
and Locust street caught tho animal by the
bit and stopped his wild race. Seemingly
more dead than alive, the man was taken
to Hammer's drugstore. The city ambu
lance wse sent for, but by the time It ar
rived he had recovered consciousness and
left for hla home. Other than a tew
bruises Montis Is uninjured.
