Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1875-06-24

IHEATER.--A crowded mouse greet
ed VIM. Simms on the occasion OF
his benefit last night, when was pre-
sented Boucicault's great play of Rip
Van Wrinkle, with Simms in the title
role. He presented the eccentric
Dutchman in an able manner, and
the change, after the sleep Of twenty
years, was equal to some older and
more advanced actors in the
same role. This gentleman has been
a favorite with the Eureka public since
his arrival here, but his performance
last night has stamped him as an ac-
tor of mor than ordinary merit. He
was ably supported by Miss Allie
McCabe, as Gertrude, which gave the
young lady a fair chance of showing
off to good advantage. w. G.. Dud-
ley, as Derrick, was a william of the
true type; Noko McCabe, as Lorena,
gave us a fair specimen of her ability
as an actress OF more than passing
notice. The other characters We're
well represented. The next perform
ance of the company will be on Sat
urday evening, for the benefit of the
| McCabe sisters, when will be present.

UNFoRTUNATE jim MTILER.-The
many friends of Jim Miller, who was
so long confined at the International
Hotel in this place, will be sorry to
learn that he has recently met with
another severe accident. A dispach
from Palisadeto the Virginia Chronicle,
under date of the 2lst instant, says:
''Jim Miller, messenger of Wells,
Fargo 81 Co., who had but lately re-
covered from injuries received at the
hands of stage robbers last December,
was severely injured last night at Car
lin. While walking along the platform
Of the freight depot he stumbled owe
a sheet-iron door, which had been
carelessly left lying in the gaDgway by
some Of the employees of the railroad
company, and had his right ear sew
cred from his head, besides sustain
ing several bruises on the different
parts of his body"
AMPUTATED.-We find the following
item in a Storey county exchange.
Tim Harrigan will be remembered as
the mar who had his feet frozen be-
tween Eureka and Belmont. This is
the second time that he has submitted
to the ampu,ation OF the injured limb.
Says the Gold Hill Ne,rS: CDR. Van
Zandt, County Physician, assisted by
Drs. Kirby, Holmes aud Van Zant, Sr.,
amputated Tim Harrigan's foot, at the
ankle joint, yesterday. The patient
was under the influence OF chloroform
for about an hour. The operation,
which is a difficult one, was very sue
cessfully performed. and it is crafty
ing to the public 10 know that in case
they should eyer have To be cared
tor by the county, they will not be
butchered by an ineompent physi-
clan.
OUT.-Charles.H. La Force, the local
reporter Of the SENTINEL, who has
been seriously i'll for several days,
vas yesterday able to appear upon the
street. At one stage of the proceed
ings it looked very much like we
might be called upon to spin out a
feeling obituary on his behalf. Pleu-
risy was the ailment tha. struck him
above the belt, and it was DR.. Bishop
IL NltiAiiicd hiAii iibih IA JNHH w
the fell Destroyer and set him once
more on his pins. The young man
looks a little bleached, but the .ndica-
tons are good that he will be able
again before many days shall have
passed to pick up all of the items that
may be lying around loose.
CoMING.-Ilere isan itell from Mon
hat, Da,.avTo hat ,nnu ba of ipfaraet
tc some of our readers. 1t would appear
that the parties named are not very de-
sirable residents of any community.
Saws tho ReUeiiie: "Charley Fuchs
and wife, the old couple recently re
leased from the County Jail, and who,
il was feared, would constitute them
selves an elephant ON the hands of the
authorities and a nuisance to the com
munity at large, owing to their drunk
enness, have left town. They started
aioot, on Saturday, going in the direc-
ton of Eureka. They are IA harmless
old couple when sober; but their emi
grafton inilicts no particular calamity
on Austin"
THE Picnic To-DAY.-Tbe prepare
tons made by the parents and friends
OF the children for to-day's festival
give every promise of a successful and
Joyous day. 1t should be remembered
that the surplus proceeds OF the occas-
ion-if any there be-will be devoted
to an enlargement of the sunday
school library of the Episcopal Church.
An authorized agent of the sunday
school will be on the grade, nearly OPP
posite the Eureka Consolidated fur
naces, provided with tickets of adnis-
sion to the picnic grounds, and guests
unprovided with tickets can there sup
ply themselves. We bespeak an over
flowing benefit for our ''young ideas"
