KLEINE.


W. AAt SVn
The man arrested here Thursday night
on suspicion Of being Tom Lawtcn, one Of
the Tullis murderers, ia still retained in
custody. He has not the remotest idea
why he was put in the cooler, all informa-
ton being carefully withheld from him by
the officers, and he swe all questions
with readiness and seeming candor. A
SENTINEL reporter called in the Jail 10 in
terview him last night at 1880 O'Clock and
found him to be not SO hard a case as he
seemed when arrested. at which time he
was full Of bad whisky, very dirty and
very ugly in his behavior. At the time
our reporter called to interview him he
had already gone to bed, and, on getting
up to be interviewed, he explained that he
had nothing else to do but sleep and he
thought he had better make the most OF the
opportunity. He says he is 20 years old,
and he looks so. He is Of German parent
age and speaks the language fuently,
though no also speaks English well and
without foreign accent. He says he is a
carpenter and planer and that he worked
at his trade in San Francisco formerly,
and that he also worked in o planning mill
in Sacramento for two months, four years
ago. He says he has a brother in San
Francisco, who he says is the "boss"
brad maker in Bradbury's Centennial
Planning Mill.
Sheriff Kyle received Friday afternoon
from Matt. Korcher, Chief Of Police OF
Sacramento, the following dispatch: Law
ton is 80 years old; complexion light;
hight five feet five and a half inches; fine
black hair; blue eyes; full, high, project
inn fnrahaa1. otrafuht obo~. oo;,&aJ rooa,
small chin; small scar on left temple; on
right forearm outlines of a dog in Indian
ink; head outward, with collar, and spot
on shoulder and rump; initial letters in
red about the dog.
The man in Jail here comes close to this
description in some particulars, but his
hair is very light, instead of black. He
has blue eyes, but not the high projecting
forehead OF the description. He has no
mark of a dog in India ink outlined on his
arm-though such a mark forms no essen
tial part of the description, as it could
have been readily enough removed.
An Associated Press dispatch from San
Francisco to the SENTINEL, asking for
special details concerning the prisoner,
describes him merely as having the head
OF a bull dog in his arm pricked in with
India ink. As was said before, this means
Of identification is not necessarily of much
value, as a shrewd fugitive from justice
must be presumed to know how to rid
himself OF it.
1t seems unlikely, all things considered,
that Sheriff Kyle has taken in the genuine
Tom Lawton; but it has been proved that
such descriptions Of criminals as are made
up after they have gotten away are not al
ways to be depended on as accurate; SO
that Charley Kleine will be detained a
while longer until it is shown more salts
factorily that he cannot be identified as
the notorious murderer.

A BRILLIANT DISPLAY.
MR. p. steler's Rich and Artis-
tistic Holiday JeweIry.

S~OhCH RACn anu AEtI.-
tistic Holiday JeweIry.
1t is sometimes a fact that the business
men In small towns compete successfully
with their metropolitan brethren OF the
same craft. The skill that by long
years OF toll in the reign Of art makes it.
self felt in any place. A striking illustra-
ton of this truth is the case Of Mr.. P.
s%teler. He has been for many years recog-
nized as an expert manufacturer Of Jew
elry. He yields the palm of superiority in
his art TO nobody. 1t is noted with won
der that in all he has to sell there is not
one unattractive piece Of jewelry. He has
selected his stock with the eve OF the
master. This show Of valuable jewelry of
every sort is unequaled anywhere in Ne
vada and not surpassed, except, Of course,
IN mere extent, by Tiffany's display in the
great city of New York. Still further, Mr..
Steler is a man Of high business
honor, and whatever he saws to q
customer about the quality of an
article he makes himself responsible for by
guarantee. 1t would be idle and a waste
OF printers ink to try to mention all the
magnificent things he offers for sale on
fair living terms. He has a complete as
sortment of every sort of jewelry, selected
with special reference to the holiday wants
OF the community.
His silverware is Of the latest and most
elegant designs. Such cardsreceivers, such
knives with mother Of pearl handles, such
pitchers and jewel boxesl His new style
OF masonic jewelry, inlaid with ex-
quisite taste with all the beautiful stones
known to the lspidary, is an almost be-
.wildering feature OF itself. Diamonds Of
all sorts and sizes, and arranged in every
way to suit the taste, solitaire or in clusters.
He has watches of every design and man
ufacture from England, Switzerland and
plenty Of good ones in America. You can
get a good one cheap, or you can get one
for more money that almost keep books
for you with its intricate mechanism.
Rings, brooches, earrings, bracelets, in
endless variety. II you want anything at
all that a ~jeweler ever had, of the best
material, Of the latest and most bewitch-
ing designs, and cheap, go to Stelers. He
is reliable and fair. Your dear friends,
your good relatives and your Dulcinea
expect that you will call on Steler at your
earliest convenience.

AN IDYL or THE HILL.


taAsA k1sNh -, WV
For several years a little cabin near the
Ruby Hill Water Works has been occupied
by two big souled sons Of t~oil-another
instance Of Jonothan and David-a pair Of
noble bachelors. Cupid had missed them
with his rose feathered arrows, and they
lived as though no Venus could come to
cut their brotherly love in two. But, not
to romance too much, the elder succumbed
and got married to one Of Ruby
Hills fairest daughters. Everybody
was astonished, and the younger brother
Of the pair neary fell a victim to
despair. After a season, however,
he got off the ragged edge" which the
Rev. Beecher so graphically talked about.
He fastened his eyes on a blushing young
maiden of Eureka, made her a manly pro-
posal to join lots for better or for worse,
and was accepted. 10th to leave his
old quarters, he has made himself master
Of a coy little house opposite his bachelor
home, in which to cage his captured bird.
Thursday night there will be merriment
and Joy unconined on Ruby Hill. Music
will dissipate care, and a second brace OF
hearts will beat as one. One Of these
united hearts will be that Of Ruby Hills
favorite son, Big Jack Pascoe."

long otherwise o fathom) will produce
eight tons 1--we hundred and thirty-two
