Fumigate Jail To Scare Away All Germs

(From Friday's Daily)

Joe James passed away at the County Hospital yesterday afternoon from 
what was pronounced spinal meningitis, after an illness of only five 
days.  While ill he requested to be cared for in the county jail, where 
he was placed until Wednesday evening, when his affliction assumed a 
serious nature and he was taken away to receive medical attention.

He had been a resident of this city for many years and followed the 
vocation of a teamster.  

He was aged about thirty years and a native of New Mexico, where 
relatives reside.

His association with prisoners in the county jail has occasioned 
considerable alarm in that institution, and to obviate the possibility 
of being infected, the building was fumigated yesterday for several 
hours under orders of the county physician.


Transcriber's note: Mr. James is buried in an unmarked grave in the 
Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
