in hair hands until the full consignment
is checked out and delivered.

WEOMAN INDIAN WAR HERO
Former Eureka Resident Was
With Major Reno at Battle
OF Little Big Horn

10 view OF the recent rumors that
Charles T. Wiedman. who successfully
promoted the sale OF the Windfall mines
to its present owners, is soon to return
to Eureka aud be connected with the
management OF the Windfall Mining
Company's affairs here, the following
story in a recent issue Of the Reno Ga
zetie will be Of interest &c his many
friends in this sections:
Reno claims as one OF its residents q
man who can tell in thrilling story of
the awfulness Of the Battle of the Little
Big Horn. in which Major Reno and his
brave band desperately encountered the
massacring Indians. for this man was
one of that band and is to-day one Of
the eight surviving members of that
troop of the Seventh Cavalry which was
almost completely slaughtered in cold
blood on that eventful 25th and Goth of
June, 81 years ago.
This man Is none other than Charles
Wiedman, aud he returned to his home
city last night after an extended trip In
his automobile through Mexico and
other distant points of interest.
II left Reno the early part of last De
cember. said the veteran Indian fighter

glad to get back to Reno. after these
periodical trips 1 have been accustomed
to make for a number Of years past.
When reference was made to his early
day experiences in the army, and the
terrible Indian encounters through
which he passed. Wiedman replied, II
must be getting old, when l think of
those days way back in 1876 and that
fight from which only IL of us were

"There are but eight of us alive now
who could tell the horrible tale of that
fearful massacre. and it even makes my
blood tiugle now to think Of it,"
Wiedman is an interesting man to
meet aud will remain in this city for
some time before taking another auto
tour of distant parts of the country.

kilograms from the other creditors to
the effect that if the trust deed preposi.

There is considerable discussion pro
and con regarding the transfer of the
Eureka Live Stock Company to three
trustees, of which the Receiver of the
Eureka County Bank is one.
AS stated by attorney G. B Hender-
son in Court the Eureka Live Stock
Company would most likely be thrown
into bankruptcy il this trust proposition
was not accepted. From all the infor-
nation the SENTINEL can gather on the
subject the action taken appears to be
the most favorable one possible for the
benefit of depositors in the Eureka
County Bank. as regardless of the cost
of litigation in case of bankruptcy pro-
ceedings, etc.. no action could be taken
in the attachments in less than four
months. whereas under the conditions
of the trust the three trustees can
absolutely sell the entire property in
whole or in part for the best interests
Of the creditors with no delay whatever,
and any proceeds over and above the
indebtedness of the Eureka Live Stock
Company, approximating $3.50, 900,
will revert to the depositors OF this bank
to apply On the personal notes of the
Smiths and Griffin.
The live stock business requires i'm.
mediate attention for lamting. shearing.
ETC., to save large losses. but as the trus-
tees are to act without compensation
and with no interest except to liquidate
the indebtedness. it is not presumable
that they are anxious to operate this
business for an indefinite time, but will
naturally dispose of the property as DON
as possible to the best advantage.

The Madison Journal, enjoying the
fruits of the System at the sacrifice Of
good Lincoln doctrine, belches forth as
follows with a hope of deceiving voters
and thus keeping Special Interests in
the saddle: 'In this campaign Taft
and not LaFolette is the test by which
to try Republican candidates for the
legislature. This is all rot, rotten rot.
The Journal nor those who take stock
in what it says care nothing at heart
for Taft or the Republican party. It's
LaFollette's scalp they're after. With
that dangling from their belt they will
have removed the greatest stumbling
block to special interests. Believers
in and supporters Of the progressive
movement, and those who regard its
success as necessary to a re-establish-
ment of government in the interest of
the people cannot agree with the
Journal.
