RABID COYOTE KILLED
IN EUREKA FRIDAY
CONSERVATION and Alarm Felt
Over Rabid Animal Entering
Town and Biting Three Dogs

Eureka was visited by a rabid coy
ote Friday forenoon that circled the
western portion of the town and bit
three dogs before it was killed.
The animal was first noticed at the
local railway depot and was going in
the direction of Cedar Hill. Word
was telephoned up town and Deputy
Sheriff Mcbride and several parties
started after the coyote with guns.
but they could not catch up with it.
1t kept going west until reaching
the slaughter house. then turned
south to the Ruby Hill road and came
back towards town until it reached
the gulch between the Florio and
Evans homes, following up the gulch
and over into Goodwin canyon and
finally going inside of the fence that
surrounds the j. C. johnson propelt y.
Mrs. johnson saw the coyote and in
formed her husband, who fired one
shot into the animal with a shotgun,
but was unable to killed it until he
secured his rifle.
The mouth of the dead coyote had
turned black and was frothy. and the
animal showed other signs of disease.
The carcass was burned.
The three dogs bitten by the rabid
coyote we're owned by Otto Mau, j.
C. Johnson and Mrs. F. Kopp. The
first was killed. and the latter have
been placed in confinement.
The SENTINEL learns that earlier
in the week two other Eureka dogs
that showed signs of being rabid
were killed, and this. together with
the visit of the rahid coyote, has
caused considerable anxiety and I'M
easiness to the people of Eureka and
vicinity.
Sheriff James Mackey has given
public notice that all unmuzzled dogs
running at large after Monday. Oc-
tober %. will be killed.

COUNTY HIenscHooL ACCREDITED
Full Credit Given BY State University
For Work Done During the Past Year

Shcose oAvch " State Ouhvcrstty
For Work Done During the Past Year
Word has been received from Pro-
fessor j. R. Young of the State Uni
versity that the work done in the
Eureka County High School during
the past year has been fully accredit-
ed at the University of Nevada.
Professor Young, who is the High
School Inspector for Nevada, was
unable to visit Eureka during the
past year and inspect the school here.
A detailed report. however, was sent
him; besides, State Superintendent
of Public Instruction. John Edwards
Bray visited the school several days
and examined the work, acting as
inspector for the University.
To the people generally of Eureka
County the news of the recognition
by the State University of the accept
able quality of the work done in the
high school should be very crafty
ing. The work of our high school
is now placed on a par with
that of the best schools in the
State. The County Board of Educa-
ton especially deserve credit for the
economical, efficient, and progressive
manner in which they have admin
istered the affairs of the school and
for requiring that thorough work be
done and a sufficiently high standard
of scholarship be maintained so as to
warrant recognition of the school on
the part of the State Educational
authorities.
The teachers have worked hard to
bring the work Of the school up 10 a
creditable standard, as have also the
pupils, who have come to realize that
in order to accomplish work that is
deserving of credit, they must do
some hard and conscientious study
ing.
Commenting on conditions here
Professor Young says: Il am glad
to note that two of the teachers for
l9l5-l6 are to remain. and also that
the school is gradually building up
in equipment. Both of these have
have been weak points in the school
in the past"

Lewis had more than he expected in
Draak. On this occasion the Belgian
was himself. and it took Lewis 551s
minutes to down him.

Some enterprising young man with

siderable time in compiling the death
statistics in the varied branches OF
sport for the past ten years, from 1913
to 1915. Much 10 his surprise and, IN
deco the surprise OF many others, he
learned that nearly 1000 persons died
from injuries or over-exertion in the
various pastimes in that period OF

Nine hundred and forty-three is the
exact number OF those who went over
the Great Divide-and not one OF that
number was charged to trapshooting

DUPONTS HAVE It
IN" FOR THE Whites
Locals Will Take Up a Big
Squad Determined
to Win Match
NO EASY JOB,
THOUGH GET IT

The Importance OF the league
match against the S. S. Whites next
Saturday, must not be underestima-
ted by members Of the DUPONT Trap
shooting Club. II will be one Of the
hardest matches of the season for the
local trapshooters to win, and every
member Of the dupont Club is asked
to make it a point to attend this
shoot and by strength OF numbers, II
nothing else, overwhelm the s. S.
Whites.
All members Of the local club have
been shooting in excellent form in the
last four league matches, and have
made the high team score OF the day
on each occasion. Their score Of ak
500 in the match against Glen Willow
last Saturday comes within IA targets
of tying the league record made by
the Highland Shooting Association on
May z 1910.
The Highlands also hold this sea-
sons record with a score Of 47S made
against the DUPONT Trapshooting Club
in the first shoot Of the 1915-1916 sea-
season This match. by the way. was
the only one the local shotgun artists
have lost, and this is accounted for
by the fact that only a very few
shooters made the trip to Edge Hill
On former occasion seventy-fve
dupont Trapshooting Club members
invaded the S. S. Whites grounds and
won the match largely by force Of
numbers. Local shooters are plan

NEWARK, Del, Feb. 3.-Manager
Donald A. Price, Of the Delaware Col

pleted the 1916 baseball schedule, and
Il will be submitted to the Athletic

tain fifteen games. of which number
eleven will be played on the home

The season will open April 8, with

Rutgers will be the attraction on
Decoration Day, when there will also
likely be a dual field and track meet.
Instead OF the usual Varsity-Alumnl
game during commencement week,
which for years has been more or less
farce, Il was decided to get some
strong team here for that day with
the result that Haverford baseball

that Delaware will play this season
are North Carolina University. Wash
