Wells Indians Quarantined.

The Indians OF Wells, Elko county,
are under quarantine, says the Herald.
Sunday a report gained circulation
that smallpox was existent among
them. DIR. Olmstead and Constable
Moore visited the camp about a mile
from town and satisfied themselves
that the report was true. DIR. Ohm
stead Immediately placed all the In
dams under quarantine and instructed
them not to come to town. At first
the indians refused to obey the man
date Of the quarantine officer, and
Monday morning four Of them started
for town. Constable Moore headed
them off and threatened to lock up
every Indian found in town. The
Indians are very indignant, but the
prospect of a term in Jail had more
terrors for them than the smallpox
and they returned to their w~ickiups.
None have since attempted to run the
gauntlet Of quarantine.

"a ;ts effectiveness as an organization and the

4ntion as already adopted is the provision allowing
neonIe residing anywhere in the world to become
members upon paying the specified membership

China or any other country teelsIan interest IN
CIarksburg he can become member of our board
Of trade by paying the fee and dues. The man in

that outside people who own property 10 the city
want to pay to the support Of the organization.
These can easily make their contributions without
becoming members and it IS not consistent with
nublic policy that they should become members.
