The daily sentinel., 1902-02-19
Broke the Quarantine.

citv Int a short time before he was
placed under arrest on warrant sworn
out by Health Officer DR.. Masser OF
Fruita, charging Nolan with violation
Of the quarantine laws. The arrest was
made by Marshal N. Owens OF Fruita,
and Nolan accompanied the officer back
and was returned to his ranch.
At the present time four members OF
Nolan's family are sick with the small
pox. According to his own confession
one Of them is dangerously ill. The
first member OF his family taken down
| with the smallpox WAS over fourteen
days ago. Since that time three other
members OF the family have contracted
| the disease.
Nolan makes the claim that, as the
period of fourteen days had passed since
his son WAS irst taken sick, he should be
released from quarantioe, notwiuhstand-
| ing the fact that he has been exposed TO
the three new cases, from which he
might have contracted the disease.
Nolan, it is said, deliberately broi
| the quarantine without any notice to tie
officers OF the Law, and openly defed
them. He makes the claim that he is
being prosecuted and is not being treat
ed as others are in the quarantine mat
ter.
From what can be ascertained from
Fruita he is only being made to observe
the laws Of quarantine from which no
man is exempt, not even the president OF
the United States. or course, il Nolan
is bigger man than the president, pos
sibly he can set at naught the laws re-
lating to quarantine, the most important
on the statute books of the people.
He was to have had his trial this morn
ing; but, owing to the sickness OF one OF
the attorneys, the case WAS continued.
| The Sentinel knows nothing OF the
| Masser and it feels tnat he would not
persecute any man. 1t also knows that
| man openly disregarding the quaran-
| tine statutes should be given something
to make him respect it, whether it is Mr..
| Nolan or any other man. The health OF
any community is more to be regarded
| than the whims OF any man
