DescriptionWord came to this place, only this week, that ten days or two weeks ago, several Italians at Reil's headquarters on the line of the new road became so diseased with black leg that they left the camp trying to reach the railroad and get out of the country. At Camp 2 they died in the night and were placed outside of the house by their companions, to be buried in the morning. When morning came the bodies wre missing and signs showed that they had been eaten by wolves durning the night.
