ed with much interest all over the Coast
country as it is the first case of the kind
to be tried here and the result may have
quite an effect on the timber land busi
ness and on other cases that are promised
by officials of the U. S. lan«l department.
Old Man Shoemake Dying.
W. B. Shoemake, lying in the county
jail, accused of the murder of his son-in-
law, Oliver Sargent, is believed by Dr.
Kremer, the county physician, to be
dying. Yesterday Dr. Kremer informed
the Sheriff that he did not believe the
old man could live more than eight or
ten days. Shoemake has scarcely tasted
food since his incarceration on the 6th
instant, and is becoming quite weak in
consequence. For years Shoemake’s
neighbors called him queer, but believed
him sane because he could transact bus­
iness with some shrewdness, but the
condition of his mind indicates that he
should have teen sent to the asylum
years ago. He talks little to anyone and
then incoherently, and probably will not
live very long.—Grants Past Herald.
Sustains Serious Injury.
Louis Lytle, who has been employed
for some time finishing up the carpenter
work in Ed. Dunnington's new residence
had the misfortune Tuesday morning to
fall backwards down the stairway, sus­
taining quite serious injuries which rend­
ered him almost helpless for the time be­
ing and will lay up for some time.
Correspondents Wanted.
The Sentinel desires to give its sub­
scribers the news from all parts of the
county hence we want a g«xxl, live, cor­
respondent at all the leading postoffices
tn the county where there is no paper
published. Send in the news and you
will be treated right.
