PAlISAOE PHONE LINE DOWN
But II Is Learned Indirectly Con-
struction Train Has Reached
Union Station

The SENTINEL is unable to fur
nish any direct news this week
regarding the progress Of work
on the Eureka & Palisade Rail-
road. There has been no COM
munication over the telephone
line between Eureka and Pali-
SADIE since Wednesday forenoon.
Agent 8. G. Dye of Eureka in
formed us yesterday that he was
notified Wednesday morning that
the telephone wire above the
Raine ranch would have to be cut
in order hat the construction
company's pile driver could be
moved up the road, but that the
line would be repaired as soon as
the pile driver had passed. The
service was interrupted shortly
afterward, and so far has not been
renewed.
As the construction people
evidently have not had their ear
to the ground within the past
few days, they are missing a re-
cital of the many nice things be-
ing said about them by people on
this end Of the line who have
been trying to get into communi-
cation with Palisade.
The SENTINEL was able to get
Mineral Hill on the phone yester-
day afternoon, and from that
place it was learned that the
construction train was reported
to have reached a point near
Union Station, about 81 miles
from Palisade. The two bridges
above the Raine ranch had been
so far completed early in the
week that the construction train
had passed over with rails, ties
and other material, and the work

Must Record Powder Sales

The merchants and others are be-
ginning to take notice Of some OF the
new laws hat are embraced In the
code being distributed by the State.
1t would not be surprising il many OF
the new lave were being violated, as
there has been no chance for publicity.
There should have been some way to
make important laws public, but this
seems to have been overlooked mainly
because some newspaper would have
been compelled to put in a bill for the
work. One Of the new laws is that Of
regulating the sale Of dynamite. The
merchants Of the State will in future
be compelled TO keep q record OF all
dynamite or giant powder sold to
customers. In the future the party
buying the dynamite will have to sign
9 book and tell the purpose of the pur-
chase.

Jean Banon, a prisoner in the Eureka
County Jail since October 2, 1911. being
held to appear before the next Grand
Jury on a charge Of arson, in setting fire
to the James Kautz dwelling house in
Eureka. found the iron door leading
into the Jail unlocked last Monday and
walked out for q breath Of fresh air in
the country. returning to the Jail about
"a hours later.
The discovery that he was missing
was not made until Deputy Sheriff r.
A. Laird went to the Jail to give Banon
bis supper, which is brought to the jail
about 4:30 p. m. 1t was not thought at
first that Banon had left town. and
Sheriff Martin Mahoney and Deputy
Laird combed the town in an effort to
find him. They could discover no trace
Of Banon or learn that any one had seen
him, and it was then decided that he
had struck out for the hills.
As there was some apprehension that
Banon might do injury to the family OF
Mrs. Agnes Morrison in Antelope VAL
ley. where he had previously worked as
q sheepherder. and against whom he
was thought to have a grudge. Sheriff
Mahoney furnished James Kautz with
a horse, aud he left early Tuesday
morning to notify the Morrison family
of Banon's escape and to try and dis
cover some race of him.
Greatly to everybody's surprise,
Sheriff Mahoney found Banon sitting
by the stove in his outer Office the mex
afternoon about 4 o'clock. When asked
If he was hungry and had returned fol
supper. he said he was not very hungry
as he had eaten at the Regli ranch.
While not very communicative. he told
the Sheriff he did not know what caused
him to leave, "that he just found the
door open. walked out, and kept on
walking He said he slept in the hay
at Regli's ranch, about 10 miles from
Eureka. on Monday night, and after
having breakfast at the ranch next
morning decided to return to his
quarters in the Jail, and he walked back
to town.
In explanation of Banon's escape,
Sheriff Mahoney said that when Banon's
breakfast was brought to the Jail about
$50 o'clock Monday morning he opened
the steel door leading into the Jail to
permit of his receiving the meal. The
door is then left unlocked until the
dishes are ready to be taken outside.
He was engaged in attending to other
matters about his office for some time,
and finally went out for his own break.
fast. While eating he remembered thai
he had forgotten to lock the Jail door
and Immediately returned to do so
On reaching the Court House he noticed
the heavy wooden door leading from
his office into the Jail corridor wa.
closed, and supposing Deputy Laird had
been in and locked the doors, he re-
turned to his breakfast and thought nc
more about the matter until informed
late that afternoon that Bannon had
disappeared.
