COUNTRY HOMES SCENE
OF HOLIDAY FESTIVITIES

The SENTINEL has, received the fol-
lowing correspondence giving the
particulars of tworeeent parties held
at ranch homes in nearby sections:
A most enjoyable time was passed
at a party held at the Winzel and
Cockrill home on the 18th. The per-
feet weather permitted friends and
neighbors to auto in from what in
other years would have been impos-
sible distances. The place was dec
Grated in true holiday style. A string
of Japanese lanterns swinging from
the porch enveloped one in a festive
glow even before their. arrival, and
every room at the j. D. seemed
throbbing with holiday cheer and
true Nevada hospitality.
Music was furnished from Eureka.
and dancing was enjoyed by old and
young from early dark until broad
daylight. A bounteous supper was
served at midnight, and every one
voted the party a-most pleasant sue
cess. one and all expressing their
great pleasure at being able to meet
friend and neighbor once more be-
fore the old year had departed.
-
A party which will long be remem-
bered by the many friends who at
tended was held at the home of Jack
Ferguson on New Years night in
Monitor Valley. What had original
ly been intended as a Watch party.
had to be turned into a New Years
party on account of the sudden bust
ness trip which Mr.. Feguson had to
make to Elko. But no pleasure was
lost through the postponement, for
every one enjoyed the next night to
the limit.
Mrs. Ferguson, ever mindful of
the young peoples pleasure. had the
carpet taken up and dancing was
joyously INDUCED in until daylight.
But dancing was not all that was en-
joyed. The supper was delicious-a
feed for both the eye and the heart-a
feast that would entice her friends
even more than the 40 miles that
some of them travelled to celebrate
with Mr.. and Mrs. Ferguson the
New Year.

]. ]. TOGhONI SENTENCED
To Serve Not Less Than Five
Nor More Than Thirty Years
In the State Prison at
Carson

District Attorney N. P. Morgan
filed an information in the District
Court on Tuesday of this week in the
case of the State of Nevada against
j. j. Tognoni. charging the defend
ant with the crime of robbery. The
arraignment was set for 10 o'clock
Friday morning. at which time the
defendant appeared with his attor-
ney W. R. Reynolds and entered a
plea of guilty.
The defendant asked permission to
make a statement, and after being
sworn. testified as follows to the d.
rect examination of his attorney:
Q.-Mr. Tognoni, you are charged
in the information of having taken

money in your possession, or did you
ever remove or take it from him?
Al v took the money;
another party took the money.
Q.-Then you never had it in your

A.-No sir.
Samuel Dennison, the man assault
ed and robbed on December n then

rect examination of the District At
torney that he had about $740 in

the defendant. Tognoni. whom he
pointed out in court, was the man
who had assaulted and taken all this
money from his person; that $500
was afterwards found outside the
cabin where they had been scuffling
and was returned to him. Denni-
sons other testimony regarding the
robbery was in substance along the
line of that already published in the
SENTINEL.
DIR. G. M. Roberts testified regard
ing the condition of Dennison when
he was called to dress his wounds
and their seriousness. He said there
were about 80 wounds on the head.

skin was not broken; the skin was
broken on the other wounds and

RUSH FOR ROOMS
NEAR DOWN TOWN
WITH COOL WAVE
Possible Coal Famine Drives
0mahans to Take Perma-
i1ent Apartments for
Winter Season.

Cool weather of the last two days
has resulted in a rush for permanent
hotel Accommodations and apartments
close in, according to downtown land
lords.
Omahans who rent are not showing
a disposition to run any chances OF a
fuel shortage, which is ascribed as
the prime reason for the sudden de-
mand for Accommodations in or near
the business district.
Few apartments within walking
distance are available at present and
there has been a general notice serv-
ed by many of the hotels OF an in
crease of rates to be effective Octo-
berN /.
This increase, which will affect per-
manent guests as well as transients,
is due to the cost of heating, accord
ing to the landlords. Most of the
hotels are not firing their furnaces
at present and will not begin to heat
rooms until October /. This Is in
line with the program OF the federal
fuel administration to conserve fuel.
incidentally, indications point to
rigid enforcement Of coal saving reg
ulations this winter. Hotels and
apartment houses will be "cold as a
barn" from near midnight until $50
or 6 in the mornings if the plan as
now outlined is carried out.
1t even is hinted that guests may
be denied the use of certain amount
of lights, If not all lights, during
certain hours of the night and early
morning.
Although the heavy season for
transients has not yet arrived,
majority OF the downtown hotels are
taxed daily to their capacity. Some
of these hostelries have refused to
accept permanent guests and this also
has augmented the demand for apart
ments.

Big BATTLE NOW
Is APPROACHING
ITS NEWEST PHASE
Confined From Page One.l


Cambria pivot to this German de-
fense position.
Battle New Crucial Stage.
Reports from Flanders and on the
Velse indicated that new retirements
were in progress in both places, due
to the combination of the British
thrust on the center and General
Mangin's fanking movement toward
the Chemin Des Danes. The ad-
vance of Franco-American forces
across the Vesle indicates that the
German line at this end of the battle
front is being forced back toward the
Aisne by the pressure from the flank.
In all the dispatches from abroad,
officers here noted again today veiled
indications that some new and i'm
portant phase of the battle is to be
expected shortly. There was an air
OF expectancy among both unofficial
and semi-official commentators which
produced the impression that Mar
shal Foch is preparing for new
blow. If this is the case, il is be-
lieved here that the employment of
General Pershing's army may we'll
be included in the plans, the object
being to hit with full force of the
American and allied armies now that
the German disorganization appears
to be spreading and his line waver-
ing.
The reports tonight indicated to
many observers that the enemy was
now withdrawing along his whole
front from Flanders to Rheims. This
was the deduction made from the
new French advance in the pocket
formed by the Oise line around the
Ham -Guiscard-C Chauny triangle and
also from the movement across the
Vesle. If it develops that the Ger
mans have been forced by the rupture
OF their center to attempt such
a wholesale retreat, it is argued that
Marshal Foch might we'll believe that
the movement to attempt a decisive
stroke had come.
