O'Neil Acquitted

We learn through a private dispatch
from A. Z. Fitzgerald, OF counsel for de-
tense, that r. @. O'Neil, tried at Elko on
the charge of attempting to commit MUIR
der in the alleged shooting Of R. L. Bas-
sett, that the jury was not long in render
ing q verdict of not guilty. This will
surprise many, for the evidence against
the defendant was strong, though OIL the
last day of the trial evidence also strong
was brought out in rebuttal. We believe
that comparatively few will regret the
issue of the suit. There were men per-
sonally conspicuous in promoting his
prosecution at Elko, whom the defend
ant and his brother William swore pos
itively in the preliminary examination at
Hamilton that they recognized as the
assassins Of his father. That these men
should escape even the formality of in
dictment and then be allowed to go free to
press the law to a successful issue against
one Of the partial victims to their intended
assassination, would have been hardly less
outrageous than the assassination itself.
"What is sauce for the goose is sauce for

IRREPREssuuLE WILLIAM.
whaIen In n Field Again with
Gin in Hand.


Through the enterprise OF William
whalen, of the "Whalen Consolidated"
the SENTINEL comes into possession of the
following item:
We understand by good authority that
William Whaien IL in San Francisco, and
is making arrangements with parties there
to put up q 20-stamp quartz mill at the
mines OF the Silver Top Mining Company,
in Antelope District, Nev., which property
is fully able to keep n 50-stamp mill run
ming for any length of time. The Clay
Wall and Bonanza No. 2, and the Whalen
mines would have been running for the
last six months had not the big business
men OF Eureka laid an attachment upon
them to cover debts of not more than
81, 600 in the aggregate, as the COURTS
books will show, and this just at a time
when q body OF silver ore $50 feet deep and
one os copper 100 feet deep were fully dis
closed for working. The same parties had
had larger claims against the company
previous to this aud got their pay and would
have had it this time had they not been so
fast. We have letters to prove that the
money would have arrived in Eureka in
ten DAYS to pay these claims and also the
miners had the attachment not been put
on. The running of these mines will
bring into the district and county OF Eu-
reka from 10000 to $4,000 people and
thus greatly improve trade through the
county and district. Mr.. Whalen has
large prospects from his suit with Billings
OF Chicago, having gained the decision IN
the lower court, and it is now in the
Court Of Chancery, and comes to final
trial in April of this year. Billings Is
fully able to pay the amount sued for, and
thus the Whalen Company could go on
| without outside help, providing the ne
| gotiations should not prove satisfactory in
| San Francisco, as he would be willing to
lend the company means enough to go
| ahead with the work and pay off the in
~debtedness. He is expected to arrive in
| Eureka in two weeks time.

Mrs. j. W. Mackay's chest, which she

that exists in Europe. 1t is valued al
something like 81, 900, 900. Foremost in
the collection shows Respondent the
famous set Of sapphires which attracted SO
much attention when exhibited by the
jeweler, Boucheron, at the Paris Universal
Exhibition Of 1878. 1t is valued at $500,
600, and comprises the diadem, bracelets,
ring, earrings and necklace, with a large
pendant. The necklace is double, the
upper row being a band of large. square
diamonds and sapphires, fitting the throat
closely, while the lower row, o wide ara
besque of the same stones, supports the
pendant. This last is composed OF one
enormous sapphire, peerless in color and
in water, and set in large diamonds. The
stone Is of the size of q pigeons egg, Cut

Independent says that Francisco was in
the cabin at the time, and two miners went
to his assistance and succeeded in rescu-
ing him from his p~erilous situation. For
tunstely he escaped with but slight injury.
Had there been no one there to rescue him
he would have soon persisted, as it would
have been impossible for him to extricate
himself.
