Dan Dean, who was in charge of the
Palisade Indian serving a 60.day sem
tence and while being worked on the

gays the SENTINEL was in error when
it stated the Indian escaped while in
his charge. He states that when it
came quitting time he took his three
Indians to the Sheriff's office to have
them locked up for the night. and
after waiting an hour and no officer
appearing he left for home. The
chance to get away looked SO easy for
Mr.. Palisade Indian that he lit out as
soon as Deans back was turned, and
up to the present writing has not been
recaptured.
The night he escaped from Jail the
Indian stole two of Whisky Joe's
(another Indian) horses and struck out
for the north. Joe was not long get
ting his trail, and was close on to him
near Palisade when the Indian
abandoned the stolen horses. Joe.
who has since returned to Eureka. says
he is satisfied to ecove his animals
and is not interested now in what has
become of the Indian.
II Mr.. Dean and Sheriff Sweeney can
not agree as to who was at fault in al.
lowing the Indian to escape. and wish
to further argue the matter, the SENTI-

An Early Sunday Morning Blaze

M EohiJ Dutiuo mohhihS
An alarm Of fire was sounded about
3 o'clock last Sunday morning from
the Mob Hill fire house. A small blaze
in some rubbish in the rear Of T. Nc
Brides house occasioned the alarm.
The fire is supposed to have started
from some live Goals or hot ashes being
thrown on the rubbish. The new Mob
Hill Company turned out promptly and
soon had the fire out. Shortly after
the alarm on the Hill had been sound
ed the Rescue Hose Company's bell was
rung, and that company also turned
out and pulled their cart up the Clark
street hill to the fire, but their services
were not needed. The advantage Of
having an organized company on the
Hill was sufficiently demonstrated in
this instance. and showed the benefit Of
having fremen near at hand so that
they can quickly be on the scene and
ready for service.
