Did you read the article? It's "suspected" CJD. From the article:

"Of the nine suspected cases reported so far in 2005, three tested
positive for an infectious disease of the nervous system, though more
tests are pending to determine if the fatal illness was in fact
sporadic CJD. Four apparent victims were buried without autopsies.
Two suspected cases tested negative.

Still, federal and state health officials are stopping just short of
calling the Idaho cases a "cluster," waiting for final test results
from the victims who got autopsies."
