pALISADE MAY GO. DRY

The following petition circulated
in Palisade this week has been sent
the SENTINEL for publication:
Palisade. Nevada. Feb. 20, 1918.
Hon. Emmett D. Boyle. Governor,
Carson City. Nevada.
Board of County Commissioners. Dis
trict Judge, Grand Jury, District At
torney, and Sheriff of Eureka Coun-
ty. Nevada, Eureka, Nevada.
We the undersigned residents of
the town of Palisade, Nevada, hereby
notify you of the existence in said
town of a house of illfame. that has
become notorious by the action of its
inmates visiting all of the saloons in
said town at all times of the day and
night. getting drunk. using obscene
and indecent language before chill
dren and doing other things fully as
offensive.
Before it becomes necessary to
take the law in their own hands to
abate this dirty nuisance, we ask the
officers above addressed to take
prompt and speedy action. in order
that it may not become necessary for
the world to become acquainted with
delinquency of those who are entrust-
ed with our welfare. and have so
sadly neglected their duty.
We further ask of the County
Commissioners of the County of Eu-
reka that they grant no new licenses
to sell liquor at Palisade; and mas
much as all of those now conducting
retail gin mills have permitted pros
titutes and their cashiers to conduct
themselves as they wished for a long
number of years without regard for
decency, that they also be refused a
renewal of any license.
We think the time has come to per-
nit people of decency to have a say
for a while at least in ar atmosphere
where it might be safe to permit
children to enjoy freedom in a clean
atmosphere.

able and benevolent deeds. Asserting
and proclaiming its loyalty to gov
eminent, to home. and to mankind,
he said the Pythian Order stands
pledged to raise a patriotic war re-

its offering already made to many
patriotic calls. which fund will be
expended for the aid. comfort and
relief of its members and their de-

Heavy Loss Of Thoroughbred

The Eureka Land & Stock Com
pany had a heavy loss in ~blackface
thoroughbred sheep this week.
E~ighty-six head out of a bunch of
600 thoroughbreds died within a
couple of days when driven into the
foothills about three miles south of
the company's ranch at Fish Creek.
No losses are heretofore known to
have occurred to sheep that have
been ranged over this land for years,
and as this band was in good order
and fat the heavy loss cannot be ac-
counted for except through their be-
ing poisoned. and their swollen bodies
would indicate that this was =the
cause of their death. These sheep
were valued at $50 per head.

CHAPTER Iv-continued.


fhe dead bodies were seized by two
men, one at the head and the other at
the feet, and thrown into. the ditch.
Corpses were handled exactly as was
a board to be used in building a bridge.
Legs and arms were tossed likewise
into the ditch. Dead horses and dam
aged batteries had to be removed. We
were not strong enough to remove dead
horses. We managed to capture a horse
which was running wild and hitched
him to the carcasses. Corpses hanging
in the trees were left there. No one
cared anything about them.
Canteens and knapsacks of the dead
were searched for food and drink and
whatever we found was eaten with the
greatest relish.
French soldiers who had died of
sunstroke covered the road. Others
crawled to right and left of the road
and waited there for relief or death.
We did not dare to help them. The
order was to advance and we had TO
march on and on. The captain told us
we had to pursue the fleeing enemy
with all our strength and much dis
content was manifest on receipt of this
order.
After being on our feet day and
night, Staying like barbarians. taking
no time to eat or rest, we continued to
receive commands to maintain the pur-
suit with all haste. The captain un-
derstood how we felt and tried to
,pacify US by friendly conversation.

CHAPTER v.

Not far from Sommepy. the French
rear guard stopped again. Four bat
teries of our artillery were brought
into position and our company, along
with machine guns. were ordered to
protect the artillery. The artillery of
ficers did not think this sufficient pro-
lection because the airplanes had dis
covered the presence of strong French
cavalry detachments and a cavalry at
tack was suspected. However, a
stronger guard could not be provided
aud there was nothing to be done but
take our position and make the best
of the situation. We dug ourselves In
to the right and left of the batteries,
In field of small pine trees. The ma
chine guns were set up and supplied
with ammunition. We were then given
instructions as to what to do in the
event of a cavalry attack. An old
major of infantry, with white hair.
took command. Our unit was placed
with the infantry, but our brave" Of
ficers disappeared suddenly. To them
the defense of the fatherland was the
business of a private. Since we had
been assigned to assist infantry, our
officers considered themselves super
fuous and took French leave
Our instructions were as follows: In
the event of cavalry attack. every
thing must be quiet. The gun must
be pointed but hidden. The machine
gun must not be fired until the maj
in command gives the order. Then
there must be lively, quick fire. Our
batteries fired violently at a biplane
flying high over them which gave sig
mails with star shells which were read
only by the observer.
This state of affairs. affects only
pioneer officers who, when their
units are attached to infantry or chas-
seur divisions. scarcely ever take part
in battle. This was the case with
our officers during my whole war ca
reer- They remained far away from
the gunfire in comfortable security.
This Is also the case with many in
fantry captains and almost all higher
officers. Majors. colonels. ETC.. never
take part in storming attack. was
told. and several times 1 observed this
myself.
But the expected attack did not
come. the enemy's infantry was not to
be seen. We prepared to resume our
MARCH and were all ready to move
when the order came to bivouac- The
spot where we were to rest was as
usual fixed by the staff so that they
knew where to find us at any time
Hardly had we reached the place when
our field kitchen. which we supposed
had been lost, appeared as ii it had
come out of the ground Those In
charge of the field kitchen had re-
cefved no knowledge of our losses of
the last few days and had cooked for
the old number. They were greatly
surprised on seeing instead of a brave
company of strong pioneers" lot
