Without Telegraph Service

Eureka has been without telegraph
service with the outside world for the
past week. AS the line to Palisade
worked poorly and intermittingly for a
couple Of days before failing complete.
ly, it is thought one or two poles have
gone down and that the wire is now
lying on the ground. No effort has so
far been made by the Western Union
to repair the line, and as the Coast
manager Of that company stated some
time ago that under present conditions
he would not spend any money for re.
pairs, the mining companies and some
of our merchants have taken the matter
up and are trying to arrange for hav-
ing the line repaired and the service
into Eureka resumed.

DR.. Hagar'S Condition

A letter was received in Eureka this
week from the Hagar ranch in Elkc
County, which stated that DIR. Henry
Hagar. who recently met with an &C
cident at the ranch, an account of
which was published in the SENTINEL
last week, was not taken to Elko for
surgical treatment, as the injuries he
received are not as serious as at first
thought. The letter also gives a few
additional particulars regarding the &C
cident which were not stated in the
first published account. 1t appears the
Doctor had a narrow escape from in
slant death, as his foot caught 10 the
stirruL and he was thrown from the
horse and dragged about 80 feet before
he got loose. His shoulder blade was
not fractured, but dislocated, and his
arm Is black and blue. Previous TO
meeting with the accident he had been
in poor health for some time. At the
time the letter was written it had not
been definitely determined upon whether
he would be taken to Elko for treat.
ment or not.

FRIDAYS FIRE ALARM
Wind Prevailing at the
Time Filled the People
With CONSERVATION

About 1880 O'Clock Friday morning
the people Of Eureka were startled by
an alarm of fire sounded from the
Rescue Hose house. A furious wind
was blowing at the time. which added
to the CONSERVATION Of the situation.
At the hose house it vas reported that
the fire was at the residence formerly
occupied by Julius Minoletti on South
Monroe street. However, after the
firemen had arrived there they o
cluded that a false alarm had been
given, as no fire could be seen in that
neighborhood.
After returning with their cart to
the hose house they learned that the
fire was at the present residence of
Julius Minoletti (the Levan dwelling)
on Spring street. but that it had been
extinguished, which rendered it un-
necessary for them to go there. The
exact cause of the ere is not known,
bat it is believed that sparks had been
emitted from the stovepipe between the
ceiling and the roof plate. igniting the
woodwork. However. before the fire
had gained Roadway it was extinguish.
ed with a few buckets Of water, the
only damage sustained being the char
ing of the wood of the roof around the
stovepipe.

Mary Fulton on Mob Hill caught fire
about 8 o'clock the same morning, but
was DON put out, and no alarm was
given.
While we are all thankful that these
two incipient fires did not start a gen.
eral coDfiagration. undoubtedly result.
ing in the destruction of the Town. it
should act as a warning to the people
to see that their ~stovepipes are securely
wired to the roof. The heavy winds
that prevail here at times, il the pipes
are not properly fastened, causes them
to wabble and possibly result in un-
jointing them, thereby allowing sparks
to escape and start a blazs.
On account of the heavy wind pre-
vailing Friday afternoon the Rescue
Hose boys ran their hose cart out and
stationed it at Fletcher's corner on
Main street. so as to be in readiness if
needed. Arrangements bad also been
made to put on a couple of watchmen
to patrol the town Friday night to look
out for fires, but as the wind subsidized
about shutdown that evening this pre-
caution was not deemed necessary.

The canary's Toilet.

Just watch your canary after be has
had his daily bath. See how each sep
arate feather Is cleaned, pulled and
looked over and how all the loose ones
are taken out and dropped. All this is
done by the bill. for a birds neck is so
flexible that 1t can be turned in all d.
rections, but the bill cannot reach the
head, and so Mr.. Canary uses his foot.
With II he combs his hair first ON one
side, then on the other, scratching very
fast, as If to get all the tangles out.
Then he uses his hair oil, for, although
complexion powders are not known in
the bird world. hair oil certainly is.
Ladies' and gentlemen alike carry 1t
about with them. They have a little
pouch or sack on the back near the
tail for the purpose. When Nine. Bird
wishes to use 1t she squeezes 1t out
with her beak, just as you would press
a rubber bulb. Then she lays the oil
on her back just above her wings and
rubs her head against IT. turning her
neck In all directions until every feath-
er in her head is straight and shining.

{. &P. PROPERTY
Gustave Sutro, Thought to Be
Working in Interest of Stock
holders, Visits Eureka

Gustave Sutro, an attorney of San
Francisco, arrived in Eureka from Elko
Monday by auto. While the real object
of his visit here could not be learned,
there is little doubt but that it was in
relation to matters connected with the
Eureka & Palisade Railroad.
Soon after arriving here he paid a
visit to s. @. Dye. agent at Eureka for
the E. g. p. Railroad Company, at the
depot and spent q couple If hours in
inspecting the company's property
there. Early next morning Mr.. Sutro
made an inspection Of the Ruby Hill
railroad. While in Eureka he made
numerous inquiries as to the different
mining properties that would probably
resume operation after the reconstruct
tion of the railroad, aud other matters
regarding tonnage, etc.
IL is generally thought here, from the
inquiries he made. that Mr.. Sutro's
visit to Eureka was in the interest Of
the stockholders of the Eureka & Pail.
SADIE Railroad Company for an inspec-
ton Of the condition of the company's
property. and il his report is favorable,
they will no doubt exercise their right
of redemption of the property on or
before May 30 next.
To several direct question s put to Mr..
Sutro regarding the reconstruction of
the railroad, he said that he had moth.
ing to give out at this time. but hoped
within the next two weeks to have some
good news for Eurekans.
Mr.. Sutro returned t o Elko Tuesday
forenoon.
