HEAVY SNOWFALL COMES EARLY
Cattiemen Look Forward to Long Feed
ing Season While Most Sheepmen
Are Pleased With Weather
Name Action


Mans Action
Real Winter weather came early t.
this section this year. About 81,
inches of snow fell here last Sunday
and about four inches more has fallen
during the week. Reports from
other portions of the county indicate
that the fall was from IL to II inches
nearly all over the county just out
side of Eureka. While this heavy
fall OF snow so early promises an
abundance of water for the ranches
next year, most Of the ranchers and
stockmen would have preferred to
have the heavy snowfall held off for
at least another month, as few of
them have sufficient hay on hand to
continue feeding their cattle from
now until next March,
The present snowfall has hit most
OF the sheepmen just about right,
for nearly all of them have their
bands far enough south to escape the
deep snow and still have enough to
venture out into the white sage flats
in Nye County, their regular Winter
feeding grounds.
Martin Etchemendy came into Eu-
reka Friday from Willow Creek,
about 60 miles south of Eureka, and
he says that while the snow is about
IL inches deep in Fish Creek valley,
1t gradually grows less towards the
south and at Willow. Creek is only
two or three inches in depth.
The present storm caught several
bands of sheep in the Pancake range
on their way south and the camp
tenders say they had to do some live
ly hustling to get them out of the
deep snow. Several bands YER also
caught on this side of the Antelope
summit, and as nearly all the herd
ers and camp tenders were stricken
with the influenza and the sheep
we're without car for about a week,
there is a bad mixup and there will
probobly be losses.
AS there was some wind following
the heavy snowfall and all roads are
badly drifted in many spots, nearly
all travel has been suspended, and
only those having urgent calls have
ventured to move. Stalled autos in
every direction are reported hung
up in the drifts, and the weather
man is certainly receiving his share
of the cussing.

INFLUENZA NOW IN EUREKA
Seven Pronounced Cases in Town
and Others are Reported From
Nearby Sections

Influenza has finally reached Eu.
reka and there are now seven pro.
nounced cases of the disease. At the
James Rogantini home Mrs. Rogan-
TIM and her daughters, Stella and
Rae, and Clement Tognetti are down,
and Mrs. Harry Father, another
daughter. is ill at her home. Two
Basque sheepmen were brought into
Eureka Friday evening from Ante
lope Valley and taken to the Spanish
Hotel. All the above mentioned
cases have been diagnosed as infu-
enza.
Castor Uhalde sent word into Eu-
reka Tuesday by Dewey Blair that he
had found three large bands Of sheep
belonging to Marcos Legarra & Co.
running wild in Antelope Valley,
and that all the men in charge of
these sheep were down with influen-

but James Morrison of the Hay
Ranch came to their rescue with
another auto and took the Doctor on
to the sheep camp. Out Of nine
herders and camp tenders he found
eight down with influenza and pneu-
monia. three critically ill with the
latter disease.
When the Doctor returned to town
and reported, Legarra arranged for
two autos and left here Thursday
afternoon with medicines, other
necessaries and three extra men to
assist in the trying situation. This
party returned Friday evening and
brought two of the men who were
able to make the trip, reporting the
others seriously ill. Tom Allison
came in from there last night and
reported one of these men dead-a
young Basque 19years of age. Autos
left here again to-day to render fur
Their assistance and bring in the re-
mains of the young man for burial.
We have been informed that John
ny and Dewey Blair, and Miss Stella
Genoli, teacher of the Antelope dis
trict school, are all i'll of the disease
at the Blair ranch, where most of
the Basque sheepmen have been
moved.
From IL to IA inches Of snow has
fallen in Antelope Valley and is said
to be badly drifted. This makes the
!, rendering of help to these stricken
| people extremely difficult, and the
! men who have driven the autos and
others who have rendered assistance
are deserving of great credit.
, The schools in Eureka have been
ordered closed for another week
pending the outcome of the influenza
situation here.
DR.. Bremen, County Health OFF,
Ger, informed the SENTINEL to-day
that he had placed a quarantine on
the Spanish Hotel and other places
in Euaeka where there were cases OF
the disease.
DR.. Bremen reported to-day that
Antoine Togoni was down with lnfiu-
:, enza at his ranch about three miles
northeast of Eureka.

This proposed that no senator should
