THE HICKS STATION TRAGEDY
Body Of Murdered Young Woman
Prepared for Burial in Eureka
and Taken to Duckwater
for Interment

Last Saturday afternoon Ralph
Irwin, Charles Irving, Frank Van
over, T. C. McGarry and S%eraphine
Rogantini, all Duckwater residents,
came into Eureka from Hicks Sta
ton, where they had been investi-
eating the recent tragedy at that
place. They brought in the body of
Mrs. Charles Williams, killed by the
Indian boy, and Mr.. Irwin, Justice
of the Peace, held an inquest here
that afternoon over the remains.
Undertaken P. H. HUI prepared
the body for burial and the party
left early Sunday morning for Duck
water with the remains, where it
had been decided to inter the body
of the young woman.
Mrs. John Pardy of Typo, a sister
of the deceased, came into Eureka
with the party and brought the II
months old child Of the murdered
woman, and they also left with the
party for Duckwater.
1t is learned that the murdered Wo-
nan was the daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. George White of Tybo, Nye
County; she was only 81 years of age
and had been married to Mr.. Williams
about two years.
Charles Irving, of the Duckwater
party that made a thorough investi-
cation of the surroundings and con
ditions at Hicks Station in connection
with the tragedy, stated that the
SENTINEL's account of the shooting
as given it by Charley Williams was
substantially correct.

ty telegraphed Sheriff James Mackey
Wednesday and asked how soon it
was thought Mr.. Williams condition
would permit of his coming to Tono-
pah for a preliminary hearing of the
young Indian charged with the MUIR
der of Mrs. Williams. The gunshot
wound in Mr.. Williams left breast IS
filled with pus and is not responding
to treatment as we'll as hoped for,
and his physician has advised against
his undertaking the trip to Tonopah
for at least another week or ten days.
According to the account OF the
tragedy given by the Tonopah Times
and published in to-day's ISSUE the
Nye County officers were on a chase
into White Pine County after the
wild Indian" a brother OF tn e
young Indian charged with the mur
der, who is evidently thought to be
mixed up in the affair.

all who had part in making it such q
success The various work Committees
deserve great credit for the management
of the years work SO that so much was
prepared for the Bazaar. The people
were generous to the extreme IN buy

success. Then many generously con-
tributed whether members Of the Aid or
not. 1t was most pleasant sale through
out. The Sale was held in the home of
Mr., and Mrs. Frank Peterson who as
last year graciously opened their home
and beside did all possible TO assist in

Perhaps at no period in the worlds S
history has there been the universal
Peace that reigns in the world today.
On Monday, Nov, nth, at eleven o'clock
the great war came to close. The
weary men will be coming up out Of the
trenches to their loved ones. The ships
will once more sail the seas on peaceful
mission without danger from hidden
foe. The little ones Of Belgium, France
and other lands if possessed Of food and
clothing may fall asleep without fearing
the deadly bomb or the more deadly
visitation of the rayaging Hun. The
Council table is now set for the adjust
ment of the worlds future peace. But
for the American Red Cross, the great
mother of all who are in want, the work
is not yet finished. Indeed the winter
before Us will bring sorrowful appeal
IN greater form than ever before There
will be thousands from the liberated
lands who must be fed or it were mis-
take to free them. There will be the
sick to be healed and the mourning to
be comfor,ed All these know only one
great unseIfsh friend, The American
Red Cross.
Thank God the telegram is here which
stops the making of Surgical dressings,
but the other wors goes on. We will
need the support of every man, woman
and child in the reconstruction and you
may be represented for the coming year
by one dollar for a Membership in the
Red Cross. vii! not every man, woman
and child who hes membership in the
Red Cross at once renew and all who
read this who are not now members
send in your dollar at once to make
part in the big Christmas drive which is
now on for 100 per cent. membership by
January lst This il the least one can
do, to hand iG a dollar to work 70: him
in this most splendid service, and there
by the Red Cross will continue To be the
GOou Samaritan to the World in its
present sorrow.
Finally, don't wait to be solicited. If
you don't see the committee from your
District, right away, hand your dollar to
some one who will get it to the Chapter
at Custer, and they will send you mem
bership button. The committee feels
that your interest will assure response
and that Custer will DO represented
