EUREKA SCHOOL NOTES
An Extra Effort Being Made to
Prepare Candidates for the
Teachers Examination
By Eureka Public School Teachers

By Eureka Public School Teachers
The last half of the school year start.
ed out with fair promises to be an i'm
provement over the first half in the
way of work to be done. New classes
are organized to meet the demands of
the pupils who have completed certain
subjects, aud all are entering upon
their duties with a zeal which was
somewhat lacking at the beginning of
the year..
The new piano came Friday aud was
duly installed in Miss Tannahill's room
Saturday. 1t is a Fischer of the
highest grade. ami is more than salts
factory as far as it has beer tested.
When the question of raising more
money toward paying for it came up.
all but three members of the High
School voted against having the piano
IN that room, and as there was only an
old organ of the smallest size down
stairs, it fills a very much felt want in
the grades. About 500 remains to be
paid on the instrument. To make this
up. the teachers will give a Valentine
social aud dance ON the evening of Feb
ruary IA, and will sell valentines for
several days prior to that date.
The attendance is somewhat improv-
ed since last week. Regularity and
continuous effort will insure success,
while the opposite can end only in
failure.
New classes for those who expect to
take the Teachers Examination next
Summer have been organized. and the
prospects for some successful candi.
dates are better than at any time in the
past two years. An extra effort will
be made to meet the difficulties along
this line. All who expect to take these
courses should be in school every day.

KILLED IN A TRAIN WRECK
Sammy Hoskins of Eureka Meets
With Fatal Accident Near
Deeth Tuesday Night

A telegram announcing the dearh OF
on the Southern Pacific near Deeth,
Exc County, was received in Eureka
Wednesday afternoon.
Deceased was a native of Ruby Hill,
22 years. 3 months aud 10 days of age,
aud was well known in this vicinity as
sammy Hoskins. He left Eureka
about two years ago for Ely, going from
there to DeLamar. Idaho. aud later to
Colorado. He left Salida, Colorado,
and was ON his way back to Eureka
when the fatal accident occurred. He
leaves two sisters. Mrs. Ellen Nicholas
ami Mrs. Mamie Williams residing on
Ruby Hill. His father and mother are
buried in the City Cemetery of Eureka.
The sisters have arranged with the
Southern Pacific officials to have their
brothers. remains shipped to Eureka for
burial as soon as the inquest being held
at Z ko is concluded. A telegram was
received from Exc Friday morning
stating that the inquest had been de-
layed awaiting the arrival there Of i'm
portant witnesses, but that they ex-
pected to forward the remains from
Elko Friday night. The funeral will
take palce from the Episcopal Church
in Eureka on Sunday afternoon at l 80
o'clock.
Cause of the Wreck Unknown
An Elko dispatch of Jan. 23 states
that the wreck was caused either by a
brake beam breaking and falling in
front OF a car wheel. or by u broken
rail. The train. No. 8, left Wells at 10
O'Clock, about four hours late. Just be-
fore reaching Deeth. while ru ming 40
miles an hour. the baggage car. smoker,
chair car, diner, tourist and three
Pullmans left the rails. plunged over a
Is foot enbankment and rolled over.
Only the engine and an empty express
car were left on the track. The chair
car was forced from its trucks and
clear of the right-of-way fully 100 feet
distant. The smoking car suffered
most, aud it was here that Hoskins was
killed.
Word was sent to Deeth as soon as
possible, and within 30 minutes four
physicians with assistants were sent
from Elko. Everything was done to
make the passengers as comfortable as
possible. but owing to the intense cold
many suffered severely.
Mr.. Hoskins was the only d killed
outright, but about 20 passengers were
injured, aud three of them seriously
The train men all escaped without in
jury.
Six of the l2 ears were left in fairly
good condition. All traffic was delayed
about ~ hours.

Fuel Famine Imminent

Another fuel famine is staring the
people of Eureka in the face. 1t has
been some time since any coal was re-
ceived, and then only a small quantity,
which is now nearly exhausted. Wood
can scarcely be obtained at all, and if
the weather should turn very cold for
even a few days no little discomfort
will be experienced. The SENTINEL
understands that Acting Superinten-
tendent A. r. Randolph of the E. & P.
is making a strenuous effort to procure a
supply of coal to relieve this threatened
condition.

HAGAMAN RETURNS SAFELY
Stage Man Out -Four Days in a
Terrible Snow Storm

George Hagaman. the stage man,
whose absence caused considerable an.
xiety in Eureka last week, returned
here Monday night. His experience
on his trip owe the mail route between
Eureka and Hot Greek. in Nye County,
were exceptionally severe.
He says he left Eureka on a Sunday
morning and arrived at Willow Greek,
40 miles south Of Eureka, at about $3.50
p. m. After taking about an hours
rest he again started for Hicks station,
IL miles farther south, in the face Of a
terrible blizzard. Up &c this time the
snow had been only about a foot deep,
but as he continued on his journey the
depth OF snow rapidly increased until
when about nine miles on his way he
found himself in about two feet of snow
and storming so hard that the team
could not proceed farther. Turning
aside into a clump Of cedaTs he turned
over the sleigh for a ~windbreak, shovel
ed away the NOW and made himself
and his team as comfortable as possible
for the night. When leaving Willow
Creek the probability Of his making the
next station that night seemed doubt
ful. SO he provided himself with a
supply of food and a Ratchet to be used
in case Of an emergency. A miners
outfit which he was carrying through
on the stage added materially to the
comforts of his quarters. He started at
daybreak Monday for Hicks station.
