News Notes From Troy

While we are sitting here in hi shirt
sleeves writing. we enjoy reading of
the cold weather you had up north aud
we feel duly thankful we were not
there.
Judge Ralph Irwin of Duckwater
tried his first case last week. 1t was on
information brought by William Furge-
son against Thomas Aired. Joseph
Oazisr and Louis Oazier charging them
with having driven his cattle off Of the
range. The State was represented by
District Attorney Sanders of Nye
County, and the defendants by At
sorney A. Jurick OF Ely. Before the
trial she case was dismissed as to
Joseph and Louis Cazier. and after q
trial Mr.. Aired was also discharged.
AT about the same time some robbers
broke into the safe in the store Of Jesse
Mendes at Duckwater and took there
from s1120i in money and $1,000 in notes.
So far there is no clue. This comes as
q hard blow to Jesse. and all his friends
will sympathizs with him. He came to
Duck water only a few years ago with
little or no money, and by careful at
tention to business he had accumulated
so much property that he intended to
take q vacation in the Spring and visit
his native country, Portugal. and make
an extended trip all over Europe. These
plans must now be given up.
w. Christian and Mrs. Mamie Gar
rett Of Troy were married at Tonopah
recently and have returned aud will
make there home here.
At the potash camp more people are
coming in and the drill is now in posi-.
ton and will 500 begin to work.
We are glad to say that NJ. Horton of
Blue Eagle is slowly improving, He
has had 9 very severe sickness. aud his
life was despaired for. R. A. DEAN.

Death OF j. A. Snedaker

James Angus Snedaksr, one Of the
directors of the Giroux Consolidated
Mines %. at Ely. and q mining engineer
Of prominence, died at his home in Dem
yer last Saturday morning Of ptomaine
poisoning, at the age of "a years. MIR.
Snedaker had just returned from attend
ing the annual meeting Of the Giroux
Company at Duluth. He thought that
some milk which he drank at a railway
eating house on his way home was
poisonous and directly responsible for
his sickness. Mr.. Snedaker was in ex-
cellent health when he left for Duluth
and his sudden illness and death was .
great shock to his family. A trip TO
Panama and South America had been
planned by Mr.. and Mrs. Snedaker.
They were ready to leave Denver on
Monday. and he believed On Friday that
they might be able to carry out their
arrangement.

Big And Little StOGkmGn

A Reno, Nevada, dispatch says: AS
the result Of Italian farmers allowing
their cattle and other stock to run at
large and Craze on land Of the d. q.
Wheeler Company and other large stock
raising companies in this valley. some
big law suits are threatened.
For years there have been . number
of small land owners and stock raisers
who have allowed their stock to run at
large and have thus managed to own
large herds, although they have not
owned much land. Now most Of the
land in Western Nevada Is owned by
larger companies or leased by them, and
gradually the smaller stock raisers are
being forced out of business.
This is the case in the threatened
suits. The smaller land owners are
trying to use the ranges of the larger
holders for their stock and the men
owning the land protest against it.

TELEPHONE LINE NOT WORKING
But Report Reaches Eureka
That E. & p. Has Been Com
pleted to Mineral Station

The SENTINEL has no reliable
news regarding building opera
tions on the E. & P. to offer its
readers this week. The tele-
phone line between Eureka and
Palisade has been out of order
since Wednesday, and but little
later news Of the progress Of the
road than that given out last
Saturday has drifted into Eureka
during the week.
Before the phone line went out
Of commission Wednesday a mes
sage came through stating the
line would be completed to Min
eral Station this week. We be-
lieve this to be a mistake, as our
correspondent last week stated
it was only expected to complete
the line to Blackburn this week.
Blackburn is about six miles
north Of Mineral Station, and as
a couple Of bridges had to be put
in near the former place, it is not
believed the road has been COM
pleted to Mineral.
Parties arriving in Eureka
from along the line of the rail-
road state that some Of the grad
ing force is now at work near the
Henderson crossing, about three
miles north of the Summit, and
that from there to the slough, 10
miles below Eureka, the old road
bed needs but little repairing.
II the report that the line is
completed to Mineral Station
proves true, a train into Eureka
by April l is not improbable.
Communication Restored
Just before noon to day tele-
phone communication with Pail
SADIE was restored, and while the
SENTINEL was unable to get its
correspondent at that place on
the line, it was learned that the
E. a. p. construction forces are
only getting into Blackburn now
with the completed line, the force
at that place being engaged dur
ing the week in finishing up their
work from Raine's ranch to a
point near Blackburn.
The weather during the past
few days has been pretty cold in
Pine Valley and all work some
what retarded. About three
inches OF snow has fallen at Psli-
SADIE and through the valley dur
ing the present storm.
