Neglected Smallpox Patient Triggers Billings Panic
In Billings Montana a smallpox case caused a county and city clash over quarantine duties as a derailed assessment gang and cattle shipments stirred fear. A man from a nearby camp traveled to town for provisions, warning clerks to keep distance. Officials planned shared pest house duties, while examinations and new postal carrier positions were discussed. Social events and school elections also fill the page, with March-like caution in health matters and local business changes.
