A MYSTERIOUS AFrAIR.
w. II. Sweeney Will Ne Crippled
and Badly Dfs6guren.

and Badly Disngured.
As the result Of his encounter with
hre in . burning stockade stable ct Ante
iope Springs. the details Of which were
briefly covered in the SENTINEL last
week, W. II. Sweeney will be badly dis.
figured about the face, and it 10 believed
that his hands will be crippled perma-
nently. His sight, however, will not be
affected, but his condition is quite seri-
Gus and it 10 feared that blood poisoning
will set in.
The statement of the circumstances
connected with the affair, which appeared
in the SENTINEL last week, was prepared
hurrisdly, % Mr.. Sweeney only arrived
in Eureka Q few minutes before We went
to press; but since that time the scoi-
dent, and the events connected there
with. have come to be regarded - mys-
FERROUS.
Tho place where Mr.. Sweeney claims to
have met with his accident is d Ante
lope Springs, in Antelope Valley, and
the building which 10 alleged to have
caught FIRE was . stocksde stable with
two apartments, one OF which had been
originally used % . storehouse, with no
connecting door between. As near % he
can recollsct the circumstances there was
9 stranger at the stockade ON his way
from Ely to Austin when Mr.. Sweeney
arrived there, and together they built .
fire in the doorway to prepare their even
ing meal. After supper he went inside
and lay down to sleep near the partition,
with his back 10 the FIRE, the stranger
occupying the other room. During the
night he was awakened by the intense
heat, and found the only doorway to the
building in . blaze. In attempting to
fight his way out he sustained the injur-
les from which he is now suffering, but
it seems almost impossible that he could
have escaped with his face and hands 90
badly burned, and still with no trace Of
the FIRE on his CLOTHES.
1t would seem that in Mr.. Sweeney's
condition that his companion in the burn
ing building would bave accompanied
him to some place where he could OBJ
tain proper assistance. but he drove the
journey of about twelve miles slone to
Bart Cerrutti's place, and arrived there
with the lines about his neck. From
there he walked to James Morrison's
place. and remained there two days, re-
fusing to come 20 Eureka, and finally
consented with great reluctance to make
the trip. Mr.. and Mrs. Morrison did
everything possible to relieve his suffer
ings, but he was In almost constant pain
during his stay with them.
On one of his campaign trips through
the county prior to the election Mr..
Sweeney had left his team at the Boom
hover ranch in Garden Valley. and it
was while taking them from that place
TO his ranch that he met with this acct
dent. The whole affair seems TO be
shrouded in mystery. and no one in Eu-
reka is able to understand just how it
occurred.

General Observation Of the Day I'm
This Community.

This Community.
Christmas in Eureka was q bright
warm sunshiny day, and was thorough
ly enjoyed by the people Of this neigh
borhood. The merchants oil report q
good trade, the demand for article.
suitable for holiday gifts having been
even greater than was anticipated, eli
oil which goes to show that the people Of
this camp are in . prosperous condition,
and in . position where they could afford
to remember their friends.
At Ruby Hill on Christmas Eve the
oantsts 1.-THE Coming Of the King" was
rendered in connection with the Christ
mas tree and the entertainment was
highly pleasing, being marred ouly by
the fainting Of . young man in the audi
ence. which created considerable excite
ment for . time.
On the same evening the children Of
the Presbyterian Sunday School had
their Christmas Tree and exercises at
the church. Avery pleasing programme
was rendered, and the hearts Of the
little e were elsddened by the dis
tribution Of presents by . live Santa
Claus.
Instead Of having their e~xerices on
Friday evening rs was at first intended
gifts were distributed among the chill
dren Of the Catholic Sunday School at
the services on Christmas Day, and the
ides Of having . holiday programme
was abandoned.
The children Of the Episcopal Sunday
School had their exercises and Tree ct
the church oil Christmas night. and the
building was not half large enough to
accommodate those whodesired to attend,
. large number being unable to gain
admission. An excellent programme
was rendered, ct the close Of which
Santa Claus made his appearance, and
Is he addressed the children briefly be-
fore distributing the presents, many
observed the striking resemblance which
be bore to Jack Pardy. In the course
OF his remarks he took occasion to retail
ate upon the "old maids" for the rather
left-hsndsd compliment they paid to
Mr.. Pardy in their recent entertainment.
This proved to the satisfaction Of most
people that either Saint Nicholas and
Jack Pardy are very closely related. or
that the latter had wsylsid and bribed
the good Saint to state that ell the "old
maids" were languishing for bis affec-
tons.
George Mullins denies emphatically
the allegation that on his recent trip to
the frozen north he captured and made
soup Of one of Santa Claus's reindeers.
