SHERIFF WARNS EUREKA BOYS
S%lungshot Bullet Passes Through
Window and Narrowly Averts
Doing Bodily Injury

ID. +. Golding, while sitting In the
parlor ut his residence on Spring stree,
early Wednesday evening, was startled
BY the breaking OF one Of the large
window panes on the south side Of the
room. On Investigation he found it was
caused by bullet coming in contact
with the glass. the ball being picked MP
on the opposite side Of the room where
IL had struck the piano. The ballet
was considerably ~fiattened. indicating
the force 1t had possessed. As a num-
Der Of boys about town are known to
carry slungshots it Is believed beyond
doubt that the bullet that broke Mr..
Golding's window was fred from one
OF those weapons.
As o as Mr.. Golding discovered the
bullet he picked 1t up and rep tired to
the Sheriff's office and notified that
officer Of what had happened. After
examining the ball the Sheriff was also
OF the opinion that 1t had been sent
from a slungshot. Had Mr.. Golding or
any of his family been in line of the
leaden missile when 1t passed through
the window pane a serious accident to
them might have resulted.
Sheriff Mahoney has requested the
SENTINEL to state that all slungshots
found in the possession Of boys within
the town limits Of Eureka will be taken
from them. as we'll as firearms of what.
ever character. Another matter the
Sheriff asks the SENTINEL to give warn
-ng about is that boys must refrain
from throwing rocks within the town
limits. often resulting in INJECTING
bodily injury and the breaking Of innu
merable windows. He says this prac-
tice will have to cease in the future or
the offenders will be arrested.

PLEiSANTON To
De ENLARGED
Mrs. Isenberg Plans to Make
Extensive Additions to
the Hotel.

Mrs. Alexander Isenberg and two
sons, Rudolph and Alexander, and maid,
and Miss Duisenberg, are aboard the
Pacific Mail steamship Mongolia en-
route to Honolulu to spend the winter
at the Hotel Pleasanton, after an alb
senceAo of about two years.
Mrs. Isenberg is coming down, not
only to renew old friendships, but to
look over the improvements at the
Pleasanton. Although many improve
ments are under way there under the
direction of Mrs. Duisenberg, Mrs.
Isenberg contemplates even more add
tions. The Pleasanton s business has
been increasing rapidly and there are
now fifty guests, although the room
space is rather limited.
A three-story building is in course of
erection in the mauka portion of the
grounds. This was planned for a bach
elors' house, but owing to the demands
for rooms this will be thrown open to
general business and win accommodate
about fifty people. A cottage on Col
Iege street has been leased to house
additional guests. Another building
may vet be erected. The one under
construction will be ready in less than
a month.
The swimming pool is to be re-
modelled and the building over it en-
larged to accommodate numerous bath
rooms. The tennis court is to be re-
built ard surrounded by tall iron posts,
so that a canvas cover can be drawn
over it. A pergola viii connect the
old building with the annex and at the
center, just opposite the tennis court,
bandstand win be built. Spectators
will occupy seats on the tennis court.
4 dancing floor. built in sections, will
be built for use on the tennis court.
The main entrances to the grounds will
be beautifed by stone posts surmount-
ed by electroEers.
