more days have passed will the public be
admitted
The Chief of Police has had shanty
erected az Albany and Craig street so
that squad or officers may practically
live there until the quarantine is declared
off.
Four policemen patrol up and down i'm
front of the saloon windows and keep a
sharp eye on the inmates.
Most of the men Quarantined are Will
ing prisoners.
one or two of them are married and
at first were anxious 10 communicate
with their FAMILIES.
Their less concerned associates rallied
them and various excursions were made
to The bar.
Pretty soon all the money the fourteen
men had had passed to Blesser. Then
they imLiDed on credit
Blessers stock OF beer ran out. soon
his whisky was exhausted, and then "a
barrel OF Jamaica rum was tapped.
by this Time the saloon Was in an up
roar. Two or three fights were in pro-
gress
A crowd collected outside. but kept at
"a respectful distance because of the
smallpox scare.
The police were appealed to by Blesser,
but refused To enter the building for
hygienic reasons.
BY and by all but three OF the men
had succumbed to their potations and lay
on the floor
The remaining trio elected Blesser from
behind his own bar and made him sing a
song while one accompanied him on "rre
keys of his cash register, using II as a
piano.
The crowd outside roared with glee
Wives and children of some of the quar-
antined men stood at the curbstone ges-
ticulating TO those inside.
They implored the police to let them
i'm. but were refused.
At midnight every one of the reyellers
was in a stupor and Blesser tried To get
out, but the police refused TO permit
him TO leave.
Some of the auarantined men woke up
and under threat OF smashing the mirrors
made Blesser promise that he would tele-
phone the brewery for new stock or
beer which one of the outsiders agreed
to roll into the cellar.
The chief of police says the men may
be imprisoned l3 days yet.
