A DEPL0RABLE ACCIDENT.



A very serious accident occurred 81
Roby Hill late Wednesday afternoon by
which Frank Hooking. the six-year-old
son OF Alfred Booking, . miner at that
place, was badly injured. The psrticu-
lars regarding the accident are about %
follows: Harry FauI. . lad of between
10 and IL years Of age, and another boy
OF about the same age. whose nsme we
were unable to learn, entered the Jack
son tunnel. where some Of the men
working in that mine keep their powder.
fuse, caps and tools stored. and took
sherefrom . number Of giant powder
caps. They then went outside and plsc-
ing one Of these caps on . rock amused
themselves by throwing stones at the
one so placed until they had succeeded
in exploding 10. The boy who WAS in
jursd. it appears. was standing quite close
TO the rock on which the cap was placed
when the explosion took place. and re-
ceivsd the full force Of the explosive.
The scalp on the right side Of his head
was badly torn and lscersted. and it 10
believed that . portion Of the exploded
cap has entered the corner Of his right
eye. 1t 10 thought also that the sight
Of this eye is entirely destroyed. but
owing to the swollen and lacerated con-
dition Of the wounds and also on account
Of the quantity Of dirt and gravel forced
into them, il cannot at present be def
nitely stated whether the sight of that
organ is totally destroyed or not or how
serious the nature Of his injuries really is.
Apurse Of money was raised in Eursks
and Ruby Hill and given to Mrs. Hook
ing for the purpose Of enabling her TO
take her son to Salt Lake City and ascer-
tain what can be done for him. They
left for that city by Friday mornings
train.

One OF Bro. Booher's boys.

Editor Booher Of the Elko Independent

County Assessor, who visited Elko last
week: "W. j. Hooper. Assessor of Eu-
reka county, came up last night and re-
turned this afternoon. He was n Of
our boys at the Lower Gold Hill school

Day" in this issue Of the SENTINEL that he
intends retiring from business here and

stock before purchasing elsewhere. and he
says that he will convince them that it will
be to their benefit to do so. Not only the

THE GAME.

The Scrubs were the first at the bat, but
failed to score. The Profs. had q try at II
and scored. The next three innings had
nothing but goose eggs for the Scrubs,
while the Profs. were held down TO a run
or two each inning. During the fourth in.
ming q very nice double play was made by
Wittenberg. In the fifth the Scrubs had
the bases filed and four men walked home
on balls, and scored two earned runs For
awhile It seemed that the Scrubs would
win out, but in the next inning Harris
arm gave out after two men had been put
on the bench and the Profs. knocked him
all over. If the support had been stronger
perhaps the game would have ended diff
ferently, but as it was the Profs. got out of
danger and kept there. Robinson relieved
Watson and pitched the rest of the game.
Up to the sixth inning everybody was
guessing about the game, but by steady
sure playing the Profs. won put in a walk.
When the Profs. scored so many runs 1t
seemed to take the heart out of the Scrubs,
but as a finishing touch Kopp got his hand
hurt and the Scrubs went to pieces com.
pletely, except once or twice when they
picked up and played good ball for awhile.
At the end of the game the score stood:
Profs. 81, Scrubs Is.
There are several weak spots in both
teams, but the Profs. having the pick nat.
urslly had the stronger team. The game
next Sunday promises to be closer and
more interesting than the last one. Surely
with all the players they have there ought
to be a good team sent to Elko to represent
Eureka. If the boys don't come back win.
ners Elko will know that they had to play
ball. We want to see Eureka q winner,
and the boys should all do their best to
bring about such a result.
NOTES.
Frank Kopp umpires next Sundays
game.
The Stoddard boys are ball players.
Dick Harris has a good arm and with
practice will make a good pitcher.
A. H.. johnson as substitute for the
Scrubs did some coaching.
All you hear about nowadays-baseball.
Rules are being discussed a great deal.
That's the way to learn them, boys.
It is rumored that Joe Williams will
catch for the Scrubs next Sunday.
The picked nine has not been entirely
made up yet. There's chance yet, boys,
try for it.
The rocks are beginning to be well eccu-
pied by the fans and young ladies.
Some people think Eureka is dead. but
from the yelling last Sunday a person
wouldn't think 80. Liven her up, she is a
winner yet.
Everybody wants to turn out next Sun Z.
day. Encourage the boys all You can.
Next season Well haye a team to go
traveling-as winners too.
1t is understood that the suits Of the Eu.
reka baseball team will be finished in time
for the boys to sport them in next SUM-
days game.

The boys of the Eureka High School
have a new yell, as follows:
Eure, Eure, Eureka
L lave found it, Nevada!
The boys give it with a vim, too-a vim
that will make the Elko fellows think that
the Eureka boys have found and captured
all the scalps within a radius Of one hun
dred miles. They shout it out in perfect
time, and with a force worthy of all the
Sioux and Apaches that ever breathed and
yelled.

the Farewell Service.

The old building was taxed to its TT
most capacity Sunday night TO accom-
modate the crowd which assembled at
the Methodist church to join with that
congregation in its last service in the old
church.
The attractive program which had
been arranged was successfully carried
out without hitch, and the recitations,
vocal music and talk by the pastor were
thoroughly enjoyed by everyone.
The Methodists will hold their next
service on Sunday in the new church.
or course the building will not be com
pIeted but the arrangements will be com
Portable and it is hoped THAT large con-
gregation win be present.

ANOTHER MEETING FRIDAY NIGHT
Merchants Subscribe Literally.

Pursuant to call signed by mum
Der of the business men, some Of the cit
liens met last Friday night at the court
house 10 discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of
holding street fair In our town during
the coming winter. The attendance
was small but a sufficient number was
present to periects an organization which
was done by the selection Of W. S. Jor-
dan as chairman and R. G, Dunn az
Secretary. The sentiment Of those pres
emit wasstrongin favor Of street fair to
be held the first week in December, or
during the week following the close Of
the State Fair at Jacksonville, A FL
nance Committee consisting Of G. B.
smith, G. B. Ashley and c. E. Davis
was appointed to canvass the town for
the purpose OF sscertaining what could
be done, and program committee con-
sisting Of w. s Jordan, A. E. Fraleigh
and DIR. F. s. Hodges was appointed to
outline program for the occasion, both
committees being Instructed TO report
at meeting to be held Tuesday night.
Several things occurred to prevent
the meeting being held Tuesday night,
among which was the absence Of the
chairman who was out Of town, and ina
bility to find the key to the court room
where the meeting was to be held.
Therefore it was thought by those pres

A BAD NEGRO.
Kills Three Persons and Wounds 9th
ers. Sheriff Armstrong ami
Possee land him in Jail.

Tuesday Sheriff Armstrong received
information OF The killing of a woman
near McNiers turpentine camp about 6
miles below West Farm. Together with
Deputy Sheriff Stockton Smith the
Sheriff repaired to the scene to find that
q young nepro man named George Rowe
had murdered negro woman by shoot
ing her with double barreled shotgun.
The man had taken TO the swamp IN
which Mr.. Anderson was hunting. The
dogs Of the latter ran upon the negro
and he thinking that he was being pur-
sued shot and killed MIR. Anderson. A
little while after negro, name UNI
known, while passing through the woods
was shot and killed by Rowe.
Sheriff Armstrong organized posse
and started out to hunt for the fugitive.
About midnight he was found In house
and ordered TO surrender. Throwing
open the door the negro fired both bar
rels Of his gun, one load Of which took
effect IN the arm and shoulder Of Stock
ton Smith, happily not producing seri-
GUS wounds. In the confusion the ne
gro escaped from the house and aided
by the darkness made good his escape,
not. however, without taking with him
the contents of several of the guns in
the hands Of members Of the posse. The
chase was continued and by the aid Of
dogs the negro was overtaRen in the
woods early next morning and after a
battle during which ID shots were ex.
changed he surrendered and was brought
to town and lodged in jail.
During the last me ee Sheriff Arm
strong received wound under the eye
from one small shot, the balance Of the
load taking effect upon his legs. For
tunately the negro was armed with bird
shot only. When captured it asfonnd
that the negro had received four bullet
wounds, none Of which, however, are &c.
rioue.
The negro lisa man OF about 20 years
Of age, very black and apparently UNI
concerned about his crimes and indiffer-
emit as TO his fate. His reason for killing
the woman was jealousy.
