SHORT NEWS ITEMS.

There was free-forall fight in the
A. Winetski saloon and boarding house
in the old Lambrecht building on First
street last evening Three Polanders
from Portage county were stopping
there preparatory to going to Fenwood
to work for the Fenwood Lbr. Co., and
one of them claimed that someone stole
his rubbeIs while another missed some
other article They also claimed that
they were short changed, in buying a
round of thirst dispellers. Another
descendant of the patriot Kosciusko
got mixed up with them, resulting IN
one of the Portage county fellows be-
ing thrown through the door. One of
his companions then pulled knife out
of his pocket and struck at an assailant
cutting his overcoat and under clothes
and grazing his skin. Quiet was finally
restored and the parties were arrested.
Warrants were issued today and they

A Revolutionary Discovery.

The discovery of a new filament for
incandescent electric lamps may inaug-
.urate revolution in artificial light
ing. The reported efficiency of the
new filament Is so great that its intro
duction will exert a depressing in,
tluence upon gas enterprises. The dis
coverers of the composition of which
the filameut is made have styled the
new material helion. 1t is combina-
ton in which silicon figures extensive
ly. Helion glows with brillancy under
a current that will only redden the
filament now in use, and it will there
fore require less electricity to operate a
lamp or given number of lamps
The new filameEt is said to have been
tested for endurance as well as efficien-
cy and found to be vastly superior in
every respect to the present carbon
filament In a test for efficiency in
lighting, two bulbs were used, one of
the ordinary sixteen candle-power
standard carbon filament and the other
bulb of the same size fitted with a
loop of the new composition. A slight
flow of electricity which made the old
style filament redden like heated wire
produced white light strong enough
for reading, in the new lamp, As the
current was increased to tifty-five watts
the old light changed from red to yell
low and increased in brilliancy until it
reached sixteen candle-power. AT
thirty-eight watts the new lamp glowed
with forty candle-power, being cold
but radiantly white. The inventor of
the new lamp stated that if more cleo
tricity were turned on the carbon fila
ment would break, while the helion
filament would withstand great over
load.
If predictions are realized. that the
new filament will reduce the cost of
electric lighting two-thirds, or in other
words, make the cost only SS5 per cent.
of what it is at present, there viii be
tremendous extension of lighting plants
and corresponding reduction in the
use of gas.-Eyening Wisconsin.

The remedy has been outlined in
general way. We will suggest the first
steps. Let merchants buy at home
they cannot consistently ask others to
trade with them when they do not
patronize their brothers in trade. The
editors should ratronize home, and
even at considerable personal sacrifice
refuse foreign advertising for lines of
goods in competition with the home

credit than he receives. Many we'll
TODD farmer or city man would think
himself perfectly justified in sending

ing if he thought he could save ten
dollars thereby on years purchases,
but most editors forfeit many times
that much every year by refusing adj

GREATLY INTERESTED IN NEVADA

A SENTINEL reporter a few days ago

ployed on the New York Herald. He
is an old Pacific Coast newspaper man

San Francisco journals nearly 40 years
ago. He visited Eureka in the early
'70's as business for one Of
Haverly's minstrel troupes. Mr.. Nc
Cabe states he will probably again
wend his way West. this time most
likely on mining business. He says
there is a great deal Of interest shown
in New York City just now over what
is being done in the mining districts of
Nevada.
He adds that in the Herald Office
there are quite a number who are hold
ing stock in various mining companies
in this State. which would indicate that
the New York printers know q good
thing when they see it.

DEATH OF BERNARDO SRI
Diamond Valley Rancher Acct
dentally Killed by Being
Thrown From Wagon

Wallace Bailey Of Diamond Valley.
who came mp on the train Wednesday,
brought the news OF an accident that
occurred near the old Jim White ranch
in Diamond Valley, SO miles north Of
Eureka, by which Bernardo Sri came
to his death. The particulars of the
accident, as far as we have been able
to learn them. are Is follows: Mr.. Siri
left his ranch in Diamond Valley on
Saturday last with W. men he had
engaged to chop wood for HIM at Nc
Clouds Springs. about 10 miles from
his ranch. After he had taken the
men to the place designated he went
over to the Damele ranch Sunday and
returned to the wood ranch Monday.
1t lie supposed he left the latter place
for his home ranch on Tuesday morn
ing.
Wednesday morning. while ON their
way to the Henderson ranch. Will
Cafferey and Spencer Plummer found
the dead body Of Mr.. Siri lying along.
side the road in Bailsy's Canyon, about
two miles from the wood camp. From
appearances he evidently struck on his
head when thrown out of the wagon,
the left side Of his face aud head being
bruised. On examination it was found
that his neck was broken. As o o rs
possible John Siri, his son, who was at
the home ranch, was notified and i'm
mediately started for the scene Of the
accident and subsequently, brought the
remains to Eureka.
The cause of the accident is a
mystery, as the team he was driving
at the time was considered to be un-
usually gentle. and how the sad oc-
currence happened will probably never
be solved. One Of the horses came to the
home ranch with nothing ON but q
collar, and the other animal was found
lying on the ground tangled in the
harness under the front part Of the
wagon, badly bruised. The wagon is
damaged almost beyond repair.
Mr.. Siri came to Eureka in 1878 from
New York, having lived in that city
six years previously. After his arrival
here he engaged In the charcoal and
and wood business mp to the time Of
the closing down of the smelters. Since
that time he and his sons have follow.
ed ranching and stock raising In Dia-
mond Valley.
Besides his two sons, John and Jo-
seph, and nephew, John Zunino, living
here, he leaves two sisters, now resid.
ing in Italy.
He was a native of Genoa. Italy,
aged SO years. A months and 8 days.
The funeral took place on Thursday
afternoon at 5 o'clock from the Robert
Beatty residence on Mob Hill. and was
largely attended by friends and &C.
quaintances in Eureka and the sur.
rounding country. Mr.. John j. Lucey
read the Catholic burial service over
the remains. and the body was inferred
in the Catholic cemetery.
