Two cars for Minneapolis were taken off, and while being coupled on the Soo express Sunday morning two cases of diphtheria were found in one of the cars, a girl of six, and her baby sister of three years of age. The car, which contained over sixty passengers was immediately sidetracked. After waiting all day, cooped up in the hot stuffy car the patients were removed to a building near the stock yeards while the rest of the passengers were placed under quarantine in the car. It is reported that the mother of the two patients and another sister were detained at Quebec on account of illness. Regards.. Marj
