TWO SOLDIERS FROM GRAMMER REPORTED SICK

Cecil Maddock Reported Dying of Pneumonia at Winona Lake.

FEW NEW CASES OF FLU REPORTED SINCE SATURDAY

No New Cases At Hope, But Three In Columbus and Situation Throughout The County Continues Encouraging.

Mr. and Mrs. William Maddock, of Grammer, received a telegram yesterday informing them that their son, Cecil Maddock, a soldier at Winona Lake was ill of pneumonia that followed an attack of S[anish influenza and was not expected to live. The parents, a brother and sister and the soldier's wife have gone to his bedside. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Barbour, of Grammer, also received a telegram that their son, who is at Winona Lake was seriously ill of pneumonia and they have departed for his bedside. The two soldiers have been at Winona Lake but two weeks.

The Spanish influenza situation in Bartholomew county continues encouraging, with a decrease in the number of new cases reported each day. Health Officer Kamman, of this city, up to noon today had received reports on but three new cases since Saturday. Dr. Reed, health officer for Hope, received none and Dr. J.H. Morrison, county health commissioner, has received reports on but nine new cases since Saturday and five of these were from the country. The number of reports on new cases in the county has decreased at least half in the past few days, which would seem to indicated that the disease is rapidly abating in the county. There have been no fatalities reported from the disease in county for several days. There are now but few cases of the disease at Hope and these are reported as recovering nicely.
