PAUL YOsT ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
Infiicts Several Wounds On His
Neck With a Razor-Will
Probably Recover

About 2 o'clock last Monday morning
the people of this community were
shocked when they learned that Pau
Yost. proprietor of the Eureka Brewery,
had attempted to commit suicide by
cutting his throat with a razor, in the
cellar in the rear of his Main street sa.
loon.
About half-past 6 O'Clock that morn.
ing William Lawry, who resides nearly
opposite between Buel aud Spring
streets, being up at the time preparing
his breakfast, saw Mr.. Yost approach
the rear of his building on Buel street
and raise a trap door on the walk there,
and after going down the steps closed
the door again.
About a half an hour later John
Huffmaster. a carpenter. who had been
engaged by Mr.. Yost the day before to
do some work around the building, not
seeing the front doors of the saloon on
Main street open came around to the
g Of the house. and while standing
there was hailed by Mr.. Lawry. who
asked him If he were looking for Vest.
He said he was. Lawry then informed
him that he had seen him go into the
cellar about a half hour before and was
sure he had not come mi
Hnffmaster then raised the trap door
and proceeded down the steps. When
he reached the bottom he was Mortified
on seeing Yost sitting there with several
unsightly wounds on the left side OF
his neck, from which the blood wa
gushing ont c~opiously. while lea him
was a pool of blood.
Huffmaster asked him what was the
matter. In reply Yost told him to 20
away and leave him alone. Mr.. HUFF
master then summoned DIR. w. +. Bur.
nett and the two proceeded to where
the wounded man lay. Yost was then
taken to the drug store a couple of doors
south, where the physician dressed the
wounds. He was shortly afterward
taken to his home on Spring street.
The cause for the attempt at self-de-
.struction is attributed to the fact that
Mr.. Yost for nearly a year past has
been in poor health. About the middle
Of April he went to California in the
hope that a change of climate would be
beneficial. He returned about two
weeks ago. and from outward appear
ances his condition seemed to have
greatly improved. but this evidently
was not the case.
For several days previous to his at
tempt to destroy himself he was morose,
uncommunicative and seemed very de-
spondent. His friends here endeavored
to cheer him up. but were unable to do
SO. No one. however. suspected that
he would attempt to "shuffie of the
mortal coil" in consequence.
Mr.. Yost has resided in Eureka for
about 80 years. is held in high esteem
and recognized as a worthy citizen.
His standing in the community for
honesty and integrity has never been
questioned. 1t was therefore with feel
ings of sincere regret that his friends
learned of the misfortune that had be-
fallen him.
Notwithstanding the fact that he has
several ugly wounds On the neck, his
present condition appears favorable for
his recovery should no complications
arise.

EUREKA ON THE BASE RANGE

Listen to me but a moment,
And a story l will tell
OF your old home in Eureka,
Where you lived so long and well.
Times, you know, are dull all over;
Things are looking somewhat "blue,"
But a genuine old timer
Will always take a "smile' or two.
There is many an old timer
That would travel many a mile
To get back on the old Base Range,
And with friends take another smile
For they were all a jolly crew,
With money and friends galore.
May we meet them all prospecting
On some bright and distant shore.
Many left in the early times
With the fortunes that they made;
Others fingered ON the Old Range,
And were sorry they had stayed.
In Spring some went to Tonopah,
And others followed in the Fall;
Others fingered in Eureka
Who is the Grandpa of them all.
When other places lose their bloom
Their beauty it has faded
We all strike ont for Grandpa's house,
Perhaps a little jaded.
Grandpa's there with outstretchsd arms,
And wide open stands the door,
He says: "You are welcome home
You are welcome home once more"
Some travelled far to distant camps;
Some to their final rest.
They lived there lives out ON the Range,
Because they liked it best.
And when old timers meet ON earth,
Or, perhaps, down below,
Twill be: II met you ON the Range.
My name is So and So"
Our hopes have often scared ON high
AS often have been blighted;
But the old family of the Range
Will soon be reunited.
For Grandpa will soon wake up
He's only been asleep.
Then the world at large will come
And take another peep.
Here we have the lead and copper,
The silver and the gold.
The story of this good old camp
Has never been half told.
When silver is remonetized,
And gold has found its level
The way these hills will be dug up,
Twill just surprise the d.
Then stranger and old timer
Will think it worth their while
To call again and see us
And take another ''smile."

DISTRICT COURT PROCEEDINGS
Chavez and Ramirez Found Guilty
of Assault, Making the Crime
a Misdemeanor

In the case of the State VS.. Francisco
Chavez aud E. Ramirez, indicted for
assault with intent to kill one Jose
Moreno in Beowawe in March last, the
jury returned a verdict Of guilty Of
simple assault last Sunday evening
after being out some "a hours.
The verdict is considered a light one.
as the circumstance aud manner In
which the assault was committed were
brutal in the extreme, as already re
lated in the SENTINEL. 1t will be re-
membered that Moreno was beaten,
robbed and stabbed at the time of the
occurrence.
In passing Judgment on the pair at Q
p. m. on June 10, Judge Breen ad-
dressed the defendants in part as fol.
lows:
1.-THE jury in this case have found
you, Francisco Chavez, aud you, Z.
Ramirez. guilty Of simple assault. and
not Of assault to kill Jose Marines
Moreno. as charged in the indictment.
The verdict. however. establishes the
fact that you. the defendants. were the
persons who attacked. doubtless for the
purpose of robbing him. the said Moreno,
on the night of March II last.
Having satisfied themselves that you
we're the persons who assaulted Moreno,
there is but n reason, in my opinion,
why a verdict for the crime charged in
the indictment was not found by the
jury, and that reason is a doubt. per.
haps, in the minds of some jurors, that
an intention to take the life Of Moreno
was present in your hearts at the time
Of the assault. If such be the case.
you may thank your stars for that
doubt Tor for whatever was the cause
Of the leniency of the verdict) as with
out it you would have to face to-day
the highest penalty provided by law for
the crime you were charged with by
the Grand Jury; and for the reason that
the details of your attack on the un.
fortunate Moreno, as related by him
with seeming honesty, disclosed as re-
Voting and cruel a purpose, design and
maligancy of heart as has been shown
in any case which has come before this
Court within my recollection.
"But the verdict of the jury makes
your crime a misdemeanor, the highest
penalty for which is six months in the
county Jail, or a fine not to exceed $500
and now for judgment"
The Court then sentenced each of the
culprits to six months in the county
Jail, which is the limit.
In the case of A. r. Gibson ct al. VS..
John Pardy ct al, II. K. Mitchell, in
%tervenor. the motion to strike out and
disallow the demurrer of defendants to
the bill in Intervention came up for
final argument and was submitted on
June To-. The motion was granted, the
demurrer having been fled and served
nearly three months after the bill had
been filed and served without the time
for demurring have been extended by
Court. or by stipulation, or otherwise.
Court then set the trial of the cause
for Monday. June %, at 10 a. m. The
attorneys expressed themselves as in
favor of a trial by Court, without a jury,
but Judge Breen insisted on a jury be-
ing called in as advisory to the Court
on questions of fact.
The suit is for possession of the Bee
Hive mine on Prospect mountain. and
the case gives promise of being Of in.
