Diphtheria at Castle Rock
Castle Rock, Wash. Dec 31 - (Special) - Yesterday afternoon the family of Jacob Umiker, residing near Tuttle, this county, came to town, bringing a very sick child with them, which was found to be dangerously ill with diphtheria. Everything possible was done for the little sufferer, but he died in a few hours after reaching here. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Umiker, at whose home the little one died, had planned to celebrate their golden wedding this evening, but joy has turned into mourning. The other members of the family are under quarantine, and it is feared that the mother is coming down with the dread malady.
