A, MIDNIGHT PRoWLER.

A few nights ago the sheriff's office
in Houghton was called up from a res
idence i'm Ripley, by a young woman
who had been left alone to look after
the house while the rest of the family
was absent. Lato in the evening
someone attempted to effect an en-
trance to the house, trying the doors
and walking around to the back Of
the house evidently seeking to find a
way i'm. II was known that IL could

NO GRAPHING HOOK

The search for the missing Yalmar
Okerlund, who is supposed TO have
been drowned in Portage Lake a week
ago yesterday, developed the fact that
there is no graphing hook in Hancock.
and IL is stated also that the city OF
Houghton has none, either belonging
to the village. or to the sheriff's Office.
The nearest point from which Crap
pling hooks could be secured was at
the canal life saving station. The use
of such equipment is apparent as ac-
cidents are liable to occur at any time
along the lake front and it would be
great saving in time and a conven-
fence If a set of hooks were handy in
case of necessity. 1t is probable that
some steps will be taken TO provide
Hancock with such equipment.

Political Announcement
Dwight T. Smith, Republican Nominee
For State Superintendent of Public Instruction

Progress and the adoption of up-to-
date methods In the administration Of
school affairs in the State Of Nevada lie
now an outspoken popular demand.
The State has passed the stage where
it sill be satisfied with back-woods
methods in educational matters. Every
man. woman and child is interested.
Hundreds Of new families that are con
templating making Nevad, their future
home look upon the schools Of the
State as Of first Importance.
So. when there was o vacancy on
the Republican State ticket, caused by
the death of Nevada's veteran educator.
Orvis Ring. the Central Committee
diligently sought for the right man to
place at the helm Of schools Of the State.
They selected Dwight T. Smith OF
Virginia City. instructor in charge Of
the State School Of Mines Of hat place.
He is a fine scholar. an experienced in.
structor and keenly awake to the needs
Of Nevada schools, both in centers OF
largest population and in the remote
and sparsely settled rural districts.
He believes in q uniform standard
throughout the State. He wants q
pupil to have the same advantage in
one section as in another section of the
State. He wants this uniformity Of
standard to apply to scholarship re.
quirements. on the part Of the pupil
and to individual efficiency on the part
Of the teaching corps al a whole. He al.
so believes in sufficient latitude for the
development Of individuality and apt
ness along special lines. He believes in
specializing in teaching in the larger
schools. He believes in free text books,
so that the poorest child may have an
equal advantage with the child Of the
most wealthy. But he would have the
Free Text Book law so drafted a. to
guard against graft scandals in this
State.

To the Voters of Eureka County:

Palisade. Nevada, October al, 1910.
To the Voters Of Eureka County:
In reference to the article appearing
in the SENTINEL of the 9Th signed by A.
Laird and r. Rsftice, l wish to explain
my position in the matter. When l was
in Eureka some nine weeks ago l was
approached by Mr.. Laird on behalf of
Mr.. Raftice and was asked il l would be
willing to arbitrate the Senatorial fight.
| signified my willingness to do so and
asked him what plans he had In mind.
He stated to me that Mr.. Raftice wanted
for each OF us to pick out two Democrs ats,
and for them to decide the matter. If
they could not agree, for them to pick
out the fifth man. l stated that this
plan was agreeable to me and said that /
would get my men and have them ap-
pear at the Office Of Justice Of the Peace

appeared at the appointed time. namely
7 p. m, and Mr.. Raftice did not show up
until 1880 p. m.
In attendance at this meeting were
Tom Plummer, R. Zsdow. J. McKernsn,
w. Dooley, A. Laird, Mr.. Raftice and
myself. Mr.. Raftice then stated that he
could not get any Democrats to arbitrste
for him. l stated all right; what next?
As he did not know l asked him If he
did not expect to get some Republican
votes. to which he made answer that he
did. l then asked him II he would not
pick out q Republican. and l would do
likewise, and if they could not agree, for
them to pick out the third man. He
would not agree to this. By this time !
was thoroughly disguised, for l could see
that he did not mean business. l then
stated to him to let the committee de-
eide who is the best man to represent
the Democratic party in this fight for the
State Senate. He would neither accept
this. l then suggested leaving it to the
Democratic Central Committee. which
he would not accept. l then asked him
il he would get an Indian. and l another
one, and see If they could decide it for

him. Nothing doing. The meeting was
then adjourned and there we're no results.
l then proceed to get my tickets printed
and began ~canvassing the county, max
ing Mineral Hill, Buckhorn. Beowawe
and Palisade.
1t was exactly thirty days after the
meeting that l received the document
that appeared in the SENTINEL. and 1
made reply to both Mr.. Laird and Mr..
Raftice that l had gone too far in this
matter now and intended to make the
run-for him to do the same, and for the
best man to win. I then considered the
matter closed until I saw the article in
the paper.
Why is it that these gentlemen do not
make mention about the previous meet
ing? Is it not because there is q pur-
pose in it. l simply wish to place before
the voters some of the facts regarding my
being openly rebuked in the paper. The
statement that l hereinabove make
speaks for itself, and I leave it to every
fair-minded man to judge for himself.
Mr.. Raftics, you stated that you were
the first candidate out for State Senator.
You know that in Burdick's saloon, six
weeks before you announced yourself.
you heard me say to the whole crowd,
and l treated the house, to take a drink
with the next State Senator. Why did
you ask Mr.. McKernan -hen be made
out your petition to sign it when he told
you he had already signed mine? You
knew my petition was made out first. :
The whole amount Of it is, Mr.. Raj
tioe. that You want to blindfold the
public. Why did you not do as you
agreed to when we had the matter
under arbitration, and not 60 back on
your agreement. You make your home
in White Pine County, and you are a
standing candidate every election in
Eureka County for Office. According
to your publication you try to lead the
people to believe that you never had
an arbitration with me.

DEATH OF MAURICE HARTNETT
Pioneer Miner Of Eureka District Killed
By Giant Powder ExpIosion


About 1880 O'Clock Tuesday afternoon
an explosion was generally heard in
Eureka, the sound Of which seemed n
come from Prospect Mountain. Later
1t was ascertained by those who heard
the report In town aud saw the smoke
arising thereafter that il was in IN,
vicinity where Maurice Hartnett',
cabin was located on the east side of
Prospect Mountain. about four miles
from Eureka.
Shortly after the explosion james
McVey and X. A. Laird drove M t.
the place from which the report came.
when they discovered that Hartnett',
cabin bad been blown up and was Oh
fire. Upon further investigation they
found the manasled dead body Of Mr..
Hartnett about 90 feet from the cabin,
where it had evidently been blown
The left arm was missing, and a piece
OF q board or timber had evidently
struck him in the breast and taking a
downward course completely olsen.
boweled the body.
They then returned to Eureka AND
informed Coroner L. w. Cromer o.
what had happened. The Coroner
shortly after summoned a jury and
visited the scene Of the explosion and
brought The remains 10 town. Wednes
day morning a Coroner's inquest was
held and the jury retained a verdict
that his death was caused by an acci
dental explosion Of giant powder.
Deceased had been in Eureka for
nearly a week previous to his death.
and returned to his cabin last Monday.
How the explosion occurred is not
known, but it is thought by some that
he had put giant powder in the oven of
a cooking stove in the house to thaw it
out and then laid down and fell asleep.
Others believe the cabin in some way
caught fire and the powder and CAPT
which he kept in the house becoming
ignited produced it.
Deceased was one OF the pioneer
miners Of this district, coming here
from Treasure Hill and Hamilton in
1870. He came to to this State from
California in the late cos. He was o
gold miner in Chile and Peru, South
America, over 80 years age. For q
number Of years he was foreman of the
Diamond mine at Prospect.
His brother, Lawrence Hartnett. re-
siding at Portland. Oregon, was noti-
fed by telegraph Of the death of his
brother, and he has wired not to bury
the body until his arrival here, which
will probably be tomorrow Sunday,
when the body will be shipped to San
Francisco for burial.
Deceased is also survived by a niece,
now living in San Francisco, and .
sister residing in Portland, Oregon. He
was a native Of Ireland and about "a
years Of age.
