CRUEL AND |NHUMAN ACT
Heavy Charge of Giant Powder
Exploded Within Four Feet
of Woman's Home

About balf-past 10 O'Clock Friday
night Of last week . ~dastardly attempt
was made to blow mp the residence Of
Mrs. Lena Ginola on South Monroe
street with giant powder. The shock Of
the explosion was felt throughout the
town. Those who are familiar with
the handling of giant powder and heard
the report estimate that three or four
sticks Of that explosive was set of.
The powder was placed at . distance
Of about four feet from the dwelling
house. under q narrow board walk,
which was reduced to kindling wood
and quite . spade Of ground around
where the powder was placed was
loosened mp. About is inches Of burn
ed fuse was also found.
There is . half glass door on the east
or front Of the house and this was shat.
tered into . thousand fragments when
the powder exploded. Mrs. Ginola says
she was mp at the time, but her two
small children were in bed and asleep.
She says she was just in the act Of pass
ing o. through this east or front door
on to the porch when the explosion oc-
Cured, but fortunately she was neither
hurt by the conclusion Of the blast nor
the flying fragments Of glass.
Shortly after the report Of the explo.
sion was heard q large number Of people
gathered at the scene, and when it was
learned that it was q deliberate attempt
to blow mp the premises and possibly
kill the inmates, the indignation Of those
present was Of such q nature that they
would most probably have disposed of
the person or persons guilty of the COW.
ardly act in a summary manner had
their identity been disclosed.
The woman stated that she could give
no reason for the attempted blowing up
Of her house, az she knew Of no enemy
Of hers in the community so bitter as to
wish to destroy her property and pos.
sibly kill herself and children.
AS a result of this explosion another
serious thing might have happened
that is, the house taking fire, possibly
resulting in the entire town being de-.
stroyed.
1t is a terrible thing to contemplate
that there is in our midst such q vile
wretch or wretches as those who perpe.
trated the deed recited above.
Although the Sherif's Office has been
on the alert since the night of the ex.
plosion in the endeavor to gain some
clew which would lead to the apprehen-
sion Of the perpetrators Of the diabolical
act. so far the peace officers have re-
ceived no such information and conse.
quently no arrests have been made.

VISIT TO PROSPECT MOUNTAIN
James Reilly Gives Sentinel Some Min
ing News Of That Section

James Reilly Gives Sentinel Some Min
ing News Of That Section
James Reilly. who spent several days
last week on Prospect Mountain, visited
q number of mines in hat section and
informs the SENTINEL that considerable
activity in q mining way is now going
forward in a number Of the properties
in that neighborhood. Most of the
work being done lie by individual own
ers. and In some of these mines very
encouraging indications are seen for en-
countering large bodies of ore Of paying
quality.
He says the property owned by Dave
Morris, William Laird and T. A. Bur-
dick on the west side Of Prospect Noun
tain has a fine showing for making . big
mine. Quite . lot of ore Is now on the
dump, but they are not figuring on
shipping at present. They have con-
siderable preparatory work on hand to
execute. and when this is finished il is
expected something Of . substantial
nature in the way Of a good ore show
ing will be made.
Mr.. Reilly says there are q number Of
prospects on Prospect Mountain that he
believes could be developed into good
paying properties If systematic mining
was in vogue there-that is. II . big
company were operating them and do
ing the necessary development work to
attain the desired result.
He also visited the Windfall mine and
mill and wal very favorably impressed
with the systematic and business like
way everything is run in and around
the property.
Mr. Reilly is q practical mining man
who has had q large experience In the
mining field. He has operated ~ far
north as Alaska and south to Mexico.
He is Of the opinion that there are .
number of good mining properties in
many sections Of this district that only
await capital and development work to
prove them to be such.

According to the statement of the Eu-
reka Water Company the censure and
criticism Of the company for not turn
ing the pressure into the mains at the
time Of the Eugene Geraty fire on Fri.
day morning of last week was unjust;
that the water was turned on when sig.
nailed to by Fire Warden Nostrosa. and
that the lack Of pressure was due to the
breaking Of the main south Of the
Geraty place as o q the pressure was
turned into the pipe. Mr.. Nostrosa in.
forms the SENTINEL that this statement
is correct. and that the pressure wal
turned into the mains when he signaled

Up to the seventh inning the game
was as good an exhibition Of ball play.
ing as any one would desire to witness,
the score ct that time standing z to 8 in
favor of Eureka. In that inning Elko
Tailed three runs and Eureka none.
In the eighth Elko Tailed five runs aud
Eureka one In the ninth Elko made
two more runs and Eureka failed to
score. making the final score stand Elko
| 10. Eureka 8.
At the close OF the seventh inning an
occurrence took place which marred the
pleasure Of the contest. 1t appears that
one Of the Elko players. Joe Snelson,
was taken out Of the game and . sub
stitute put in his place. While Eureka
was at the bat and one Of their men on
first base. Eurska's third basemau, A.
z. Mallon. went to first base to coach
for the Eureka team, S~nelson, the re.
tired Elko player, was already there
roofing.
Mallon asked Snelson to get of the
coach line. telling him he had NO right
there. Snelson, however, refused to dc
so. and after some words had been
exchanged between the two men,
Mallon pushed Snslson off the coach
line by placing his open hand on Smell.
sons face. the latter being forced back
into the crowd. As he was going back
he stopped down and picked up q rock
and began abusing Mallon.
One of the ~bystanders called Mallon's
attention to the kind Of language Smell.
son was using, and MalIon started after
S~nelson again, and when within three
feet Of him Snelson threw the rock,
striking Mallon over the left temple.
Blood Immediately began to flow
from the wound, at the sight of which,
after the cause had been a~scertained,
the crowd became greatly excited. and
it looked for q while as IL there would
be q general free.for. all fight, but owing
to the good work Of the officers, order
was 500 restored and the game wal
proceeded with.
The Sheriff then took Snelson of the
grounds.
Sunday evening the District Attorney
made out q complaint against Snelsor
at the request of the complaining wit.

hans Stock Rescued
A disastrous fire at Hartman
last Saturday morning. the origin
of which may always be shrouded
in mystery, entailed loss all told
of about $4,000, /. H. johnson be-
ing the heavist loser.
The fire was first discovered in
the large store building occupied
by I. 81. Johnson's grocery and
Appel's clothing stores. J. P.
Pinkham, proprietor of the Hart
man Mercantile Co., who owned
and occupied the adjoining store
room with a stock of dry goods
and living rooms. who was awak-
ensd by the smoke coming in at
the open window, and at once gave
the alarm.
The alfalfa mill blew the fire
whistle which aroused the neigh
borhood for miles around, and
quicker than it takes to tell it they
were at work removing the stock
of dry goods therefrom, and before
the fire had destroyed the building
the entire stock and f1tured were
carried away to place of safety.
1. Fl. johnson the grocer, who
carried stock from "a, 500 to s50OO,
together with up-to-date fixtures,
which was total loss. Insurance
$3.50.
Appels stock of clothing of
some $500 to $4,000, was also
total loss covered by insurance of
$1,000.
The store and ware room of both
johnson and Appel was owned by
j. E. Adamson, who will i'm
mediately rebuild. Insurance not
known. The store room owned by
j. P. Pinkham was gutted, the
walls only. remaining standing.
Insurance $1,000.
A singular coincidence and one
worthy of note is, that just thir.
teen months ago on the same date
and hour, the buildings on this
same ground were destroyed by
mysterious confagration.

Killed by the Kick of a Horse.

Henry Wall, little boy ten years old
who made his home with MIR. and Mrs. d.
L. Magruder near Kearneysville. met a
sad and sudden death last Sunday even
ing about six O'Clock. In company with
Mr.. Magruder the child had gone over TO
the Southwood farm, occupied by Harry
Magruder, to look after some colts. One
of the colts was an especial pet of Hen
rvs, and he was accustomed 10 playing
with it, while il would go to him when
ever it saw him. When he approached
the colt on this occasion he thoughtlessly
struck il with his hat, when il kicked him
with one Of its hind feet, striking him i'm
mediately over the heart. The blow
knocked him down, but he arose and
took few steps, saying he feltvery sick.
He was taken into the house, but he soon
became unconscious and in a half hour
expired. The child was bright and in
teresting little fellow, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Magruder, who had gotten him from the
Children's Home at Charleston, w. Va,
were devoted to him and feel his death
most keeUly. The funeral was held at
their home on Tuesday, Rev. w. A. Ly-
tie conducting the service, and the body
was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.

fairs of the community for several gener-
atoms. Ii is with sadness we note the
passing of these old and esteemed resi-
dents.

Paper Mill Property Sold.

R. Lucien Remnant has bought from the
American Straw Board Company the old
paper mill property in Shepherdstown.
VIM. H. Baker, representing the COM
pany, was here yesterday, when the sale
was consummated. The price is $3.50
cash. This property consists of about
eight acres of land west ofPrinceSS street
and north of Rocky street, overlooking
the Potomac river. II has on 1.-TWO small
dwelling houses, and two large stone
buildings formerly used in the manufac-
ture of straw board. The mill has not
been in operation for many years, and all
the machinery, except the engine and
boilers, has long since been removed
from the buildings. The bluff overlook
ing the river commands very beautiful
view of the country for miles around, and
is a splendid site for a dwelling or sum-
mer hotel. Mr.. Reinhart expects TO i'm
prove the property but has not yet for
mulated his plans.

Mr.. Rickard was a member OF Company
B, Second Virginia Regiment, Stonewall
Brigade. When the Second Regiment
Band was organized, he, being an ex-
cellent musician, became a member.
Later this band was merged with the old
Stonewall Brigade Band, and Mr.. Richard
had an active part in this famous organi-
cation. In the performance of his duty
he helped to inspire the soldiers tor the
battle, and then, as member Of the am
bulance corps it was a painful necessity
to bear from the field those who had
fallen in the fray. Whatever work he
was called upon to do, he did it faithful
ly.
Mr.. Richard was Christian. A mem-
Der of the Lutheran Church, he was faith
full in the performance of his duty and ex-
emplary in all his ways. II may be said
of him truthfully that he did no injustice
TO any man. He was the soul OF honesty
and integrity. Though of modest, re-
firing disposition, he was yet frank and
open in his opinions, hating evil and
standing boldly for what he thought was
right. He was charitable in his Judgment
and kind in his expressions of his fellow
men, and few are the idle words for which
he has to answer. He was never married,
his love and devotion being given to his
sisters. Since the death OF sister, Miss
Mary, some twenty years ago, he has
been all tenderness and goodness to Miss
Maria, now the only survivor OF the FAM
lily. Ever thoughtful and considerate, his
unselfish love for her is not only sweet
and sustaining thought for her in her time
of trouble, but is fragrant memory TO
those who knew OF the happy relations
they bore.
The funeral service was held last Sat-
urday evening at 5 O'Clock at his late
home, and was conducted by Rev. DR.. H.
c. Haithcox. The body was laid in its
last resting place by his friends and neigh
bors, M. B. Baker, g. M. Beltzhoover,
George c. Link, w. P. Licklider, H. c.
Marten and H. L. Snyder. May the
clods OF the valley rest lightly upon him.
