A special to the Register and Leader says: "The Reinsch family, northwest of Gilbert, seem doomed to destruction by appendicitis. Mamie, who died last night, aged fourteen, is the latest victim. Of four children three have had appendicitis which proved fatal. One boy remains, and the mother is anxious to have him undergo an operioan before he gets sick. The cases of the other shildren have been very short, lasting only about a week, and the parents are throughly frightened by the disease, it having proved fatal in so short a time withtheir other children."
