Kindly Memories Of Mr.. HintSo

The readers of the Saturday Even
ing Post probably feel more or less
acquainted with Charles E. Van Loan,
the popular writer, who last Fall
made a trip through Eureka County
and later wrote a lengthy humorous
article on the town of Eureka, the
town of nine cemeteries.
Mrs. Tom Plummer is in receipt of
a letter from Mr.. Van Loan, who
was a very good friend of the late
August Hintze, part of which reads
as follows:
Il found Mr.. Hintze by far the
most interesting pioneer / met in
Nevada man of so many likeable
qualities that it would be hard to
catalogue them. He wrote me sever
al letters, full of humor, news of the
camp and other items of interest and
| have saved them all. / think that
every one who ever visited Eureka
will remember Hintze. He wasn't
a character that was easy to forget"

tions Points To Conditions Of Growth
and Development Of Schools
The Eureka County High School
and the Eureka District School
opened for another. years work on
Tuesday. the 5th.
Both in the high school and the
elementary school the enrolment has
been greater than it was the open
ing week of last year.
The high school has added to its
course several new subjects which
are being taken by the Seniors.
The General Course as prescribed by
the State Board of Education is be-
ing given. As electives in this
course, the principal commercial SUBJ
jects are being taught. which will
permit those who desire it to take
the commercial work.
All the grades of the elementary
school meet together each morning
for their opening exercises. and not
each room separately IS formerly.
This is a change sanctioned by the
teachers and pupils and has possibili-
ties of much good to the school in it.
The purpose of the schools is the
development of boys and girls who
will be useful men and women. To
bring about the best results in the
school will require the active sup
port Of the school officials by the
parents, all of whom are urged to
visit the schools and show their kind
ly and cooperative interest.

CUTTING SCRAPE At UNION
Miner Becomes Sore After Losing Job
and His Money and Cuts Partners
Throat With Razor

Sheriff James Mackey received a
telegram yesterday afternoon from
Union stating that a man had been
seriously cut there in a row and ask
ing his presence. He got his car
ready and left for Union at 3 p. m.
The sheriff's telegram gave no
particulars regarding the trouble,
but the SENTINEL learned later from
Richard Gibson, driver of the stage
to Union, that the row occurred be-
tween two recent al rivals there who
had been working in the Union Com
pany's mines for about two weeks,
but whose names were unknown.
One of the men was discharged
Thursday and paid off. That night
he lost the most of his money in a
poker game and became sore at his
partner when the latter joked him
about going broke. Early Friday
morning the men met again in the
saloon, and the man who had lost his
money asked his partner to step out
side as he wished to speak to him.
AS they reached the door the man
who asked for the private interview
allowed the other to proceed him, as
he did so reached up and around and
cut the man in front across the neck
with a razor, the blade entering un-
der the chin and extending to just
back of the ear. While the wound
didnot bleed profuselyit was thought
to be a very serious one and the in
jured man was rushed to Carlin in
the Armstrong auto for surgical aid.
The man who did the cutting i'm
mediateiy struck out up the canyon
and was soon lost to view in the hills,
and as there is no officer at Union,
a telegram to Sheriff Mackey was
Immediately prepared and sent to
Palisade for transmission to Eureka.
1t was learned over the telephone
that Sheriff Mackey was in Palisade
this morning, but only remained
there a short time before striking
out again on his hunt for the razor
wielder. Nothing was known in
Palisade regarding the condition of
the injured man taken to Carlin.

BEING HAPPY AND GOOD.

From the Detroit News.
 The New England conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church has instituted a movement to have stricken from the rules of church discipline the prohibitions against dancing, card playing and theater going Leaders in the faith insist that the regulations are dead letters and that their very presence in the code lends a flavor of hypocrisy to the conduct of worthy members and nnpairs the force of more important provisions.
 This incident is a reminder that times change. There are many of the present generation who have retained in their deepest subcon- sciousness the notion that pedro. comic opera and charity balls are somehow institutions of the evil one Bowling and billiards might also be added
