July
26, 1906 – Arndt Reton, a Norwegian, 45 years old, who has made
his home in Bemidji for five years and has been in the employ of the Crookston
Lumber company up to a year ago, has been pronounced a leper by City Physician
Morrison.
The victim has lost two or more of his toes, and his whole feet and several fingers show unmistakable signs of the disease.
Dr. Morrison has placed the man under quarantine and has reported the matter to the state board of health. Reton’s father and brother died of the disease in the old country.
