Description
Small Pox. - - Monday morning a son of Reverend Walker, the colored Methodist preacher at Platte City, returned to his father's home on Atchison Hill near Platte City, from Denver.
Tuesday a physician was called and it was found that young Walker was sick with the smallpox. Dr. Grundy Coffey was called in and pronounced it a regular case.
The city authorities immediately quarantine the house and if the Negroes can be kept away there will be a little danger of the disease spreading.Date(s) of Creation
