Copper Club at McGill Closed
by Sheriff on Account of Flu
Antler Bar at East Ely and Three Saloons
at Smelterville Have Fallen Under Ban

The failure of the FLU, to do any
subsiding, and the fear, scare and
strain in the Ely district was the i'm
pelling motive that prompted several
stunts of a somewhat startling ma
ture last night at the courthouse.
One of the first acts of the LIQUOR
Board was to revoke the license of
The Copper Club at McGil. Notwith-
standing the only thirst parlor at the
Smelter City was recognized as being
a well conducted institutino but ow-
ing to the prevalence of flu ii was
deemed detrimental to the health OF
the community, owing to the fact il
was resort where large numbers of
employees of the Nevada Consolida ted
were won't to congregate.
The Antler Bar at East Ely was
also closed up last night by Sheriff
Mclean. The three resorts at Nc
Gill Junction were notified 10 close
their doors.
Special emphasis was placed on
the fact that every person should be
required TO wear mask. DR.. Rich
ardson. however, claims it Is only nee
essary to use common sense. He al
so contends that quarantine is not
necessary
James Watson reports 2s cases OF
Flu" at McGill. He said everything
was running wide-open, and consid-
cred it nothing short of murder. He
merely asks for some protection. He
arranged for the purchase of $50
masks only to find later that only
two were being worn.
j. Nj. Lockhart states everyone re-
alizes the seriousness of the situa-
ton. 1t is hard question to solve.
People have to live.
District Attorney Whiteley said
he would vote to close the Copper
Club and if the place didn't stay
closed he would start proceedings to
revoke their license. Commissioner
Weber voted to close the saloon with
out delay. DR.. Richardson said to
Mr.. Weber. Please don't bring up
anything"
C. w. Bagwill said that it was a
sense. of security and personal re-
sponsibility. He also intimated that
a mask may not be the means of pre-
-vention. but it keeps away contagion.
DR.. Richardson then broke into the
picture by rernarking that mask
ia only a false idea of security.
g1f Commissioner Gallagher said that
from thirty to fifty could be seen
in saloons any night in The week.
George S. Riser asked how could
man be classified as hard master
because he requires his assistants to
wear masks.
The delegation from MoGill to the
meeting included J d. Watson. ID.
Boyd Smith. George S. Riser, Park

1t is essential that persons employ
ed either at McGill or the mined pro-
vide themselves with gauze masks.
Persons desiring to travel on The Ne

WERE PLOTTING
 TO SMUCCLE IN
 GROWN JEWELS

NEW YORK. June 5.-Secret agents of the United States have uncovered an alleged plot to snug gle into America the crown jewels of the Romanoff dynasty.
 The evidence that was uncovered by the secret service men showed that plot was on foot to bring these jewels into the United States and dispose of them to one of the large jewelry firms. This colle ction of valuable stones is estimated to be worth at least $2,000.O00, and contains some of the finest precious stones in the world. It is thought that this effort was being made in order to replenish the treasury of the ROmanoff family, which was greatly depleted upon the dethrone- ment of the former czar. All hold inss of the Romanoff family were seized with the exception of their personal property, among which were these jewels.
