Three Small pox Cases in the

POLICE BLOCK ALL EXITS

Chicago, Feb. "A special to the Record
from Omaha, Neb., says: The spectacle
of an entire hotel full OF guests being
Quarantined and armed policemen stand
ing at every door and window to prevent
the people escaping is presented in Omaha
tonight.
This morning three well-dehned cases Of
smallpox were discovered at the Ven
dome hotel, located in the center of the
city. The health department was not-
fed and plans were quickly decided upon
for quarantining the place. a squad of
armed policemen raced to the scene and
when the guests started on their accus-
toned duties this morning they were
driven back into the house by force.
Travelling men begged to be permitted to
get away, guaranteeing to leave the city
by the first train, or afoot if necessary.
Several daring fellows, who preferred
any sort of an adventure, scaled the adj
jacent roofs and, making their way
through the snow and ice over the house
tops, managed TO reach the ground in
safety after many narrow escapes. A
number of Chicago and ST. Louis trav-
cling men are in the hotel. Nobody cares
to examine the register just at present
to find out just who they are.
