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.
