NEW CALENDARS

O. R. Mau is presenting his patrons
and friends with a very atti active
1918 calendar. The picture that
adorns it. Seeking Protection" is a
prairie fire where several horses are
wildly endeavoring to get out of
range of the fire. The brilliant COL
oring on a background of white
makes it most attractive.
The SENTINEL is in receipt of a
1918 calendar from Mrs. F. Kopp,
dealer in general merchandise. that
is both unique and artistic. Finished
in white and green, with a picture
entitled, Let's Make Up" of two
children seated on a bench under a
tree and making overtures toward
friendship after a childish disagree
ment, is especially pleasing.

Fire Totally Destroys Ranch Home Of w.
II. Smith in Newark Valley Thursday
The ranch home of w. II. Smith in
Newark Valley. about 80 miles from
Eureka. was destroyed by fire with
all of it's contents early Thursday
evening. the family only saving the
clothes they we're wearing.
1t was an eight-room farm resi-
dence with the furnishings and ac-
cumulations of years, and the entire
contents with an increased supply of
Winter provisions and clothing was
destroyed.
The fire started in one of the girls
bedrooms in the front portion of the
house about 6. p. m. from an un-
known cause. as there had been no
fire or light in the room that day.
The Smith family, aided by Richard
Hooper. a son-in-law who was there
visiting. believing they could save
the building spent there energies to-
ward that end and did not attempt
to remove the contents. With a
bucket brigade they fought the
fire with water from the well.
about 80 feet distance. until it got so
hot they could not draw water from
the well, and the fire had then gained
such Roadway that nothing could be
saved. The fire was kept away from
the barns. corrals and a small store
house, in which the family r now
domiciled.
This is a most unfortunate
happening. especially at this sea.
son of the year. and there are many
expressions of sympathy here for the
Smith family in their loss.

Same Cabin Scene of Like Robbery
The robbery Thursday morning in
what is known as the John McKernan
cabin on Ruby Hill avenue recalled
to some of the old timers here a very
similar robbery that was committed
in this same cabin on January 6,
1884, when Otto Boetzel was robbed
by Marco Del Barba and John Robes.
According to the SENTINEL of the
abave date, these men gained en-
trance to the cabin from the rear af-
ter Boetzel had retired and was as
leep. They succeeded in getting his
$3.50 watch and chain, a pistol and a
pair of opera glasses without waken-
ing him. but when one of them re-
turned to try and find some real
money he was awakened. Jumping
out of bed he grappled with the rob-
Der and a lively rough and tumble
took place, the robber trying to
break loose and get away. He final
ly did so. but left his hat. BoetzeI
at once took this to the officers and
they soon found the man it belonged
to-Del Barba. He was arrested and
the goods recovered. They later
learned Robes was also implicated
and arrested him. At the latter's
preliminary examination Del Barba
went on the stand and told how the
job was put up and completed.
Both were indicted; Robes es.
capped conviction on a technicality
but Del Barba received a sentence
of five years in State Prison.
The Sheriff did not start immediate.
ly with him for Carson, and one
morning when a deputy was taking
in breakfast for the prisoners. Del
Barba stood near the Jail door and
giving the deputy a shove. darted
out and locked the deputy inside.
The late w. H. Sweeney was sheriff
at that time and was also conducting
a livery stable. When the town had
been combed and there was ne sign
of the missing prisoner. every horse
in the barn vas put On the job and
the surrounding country secured.
Near the end of the second days
search the officers received a tip and
commenced exploring the Court
house. From the gallery they pro-
ceeded into the loft under the roof
and there, nicely hidden away where
a cursory observation would not dis
close his hiding place. they found the
missing prisoner. and he had not
been out of the Courthouse building.
He was later landed safely in the
State Prison at Carson.
