Tr.R,y,o RusIw.r.-The fine four.

TERRIFIC RUsAwAY.-The fine four
horse team belonging to the Nevada
Foundry, was caught in the hsil-storm
yesterday afternoon, and ran away. 1t
had reached the Piute Hotel, a short
distance above the Justice mine, just as
the pslnng hail-stones began to fall
and being on the down grade, the horses
became d~emoralized from the extraor-
binary pel,ing Of hail, and becoming
entirely manageable, the driver leap,
ed off the wagon TO save himself, anu
away the team went at 8 terrihc speed
When it reached opposite the Justice
mine, one of the wheel horses fell, n
wrs dragged several hundred yards 10 .
point around the bend, opposite the Pa
ci6c mill, whore the road is very mar
row and overhaugs the canon q
hundred feet. At this point they were
brought to q sudden stop BY several
large teams coming up, there not De-
ing room enough for the runaways TO
psss withou. going over the grade. On
being brought to a halt, it was found
that the fallen and dragged horse had
one Of his legs broken, and the poor An
NAL was accordingly shot dead. The
driver took the balance OF the team
home. The hail came on SO suddenly,
and 30 heavily, that the driver Of the
team can hardly be blamed, under the
circumstances, for doing just as he did;
almos, ANYBODY else would have done
the same thing. The way the hail came
down was enough to tsrrify man or
beast.
ANOTHER BRoKER's 0FFIcE.-Mr.L LA.
Brown, a gentleman well known to all
for his integrity and fair dealings, has
for the past W weeks been fitting up
an Office at No. &c south G street, direct
ly opposite Wells, Fargo & Co., where
he intends to locate himself and to en-
gage in the purchase and sale Of Mining
stocks, q. S. bonds, and other securi-
ties. Mr.. Brown has for q number Of
years been engaged in brokerage BUSH
ness and is now and has been for a long
time a member Of the San Francisco
Stock and Exchsnge board. His con-
n~ections at San Francisco for the pur-
chase and sale Of mining shares and
such other business as may be entrusted
to him are most reliable. Mr.. Brown
informs US that be is determined to do
business on q strictly commission basis,
taking no advantage of orders given him
to execute, and from our knowledge of
him for many years we feel confident
his resolution will be carried out to the
letter. Parties wishing to purchase or
sell Mining stocks may find it to their
advantage to give him a trial. We wish
him success
NUMBER 2.-Young America Engine
Co. No. 2, Virginia, is a big institution.
They are a very efficient, harmonious
and frolicsome set of fellows-the mem
bers Of No. 2. "Sam" is the Steward.
At the last election Sam had a very
hard race for re-election-some half a
dozen competitors. Sam rustled. Geo.
Smith Of Red Mountain squeezed him
self in As one Of tho candidates. In
deed, Sam had doubts about his sue
cess. When the election evening came,
n resolution was proposed to the effect
that the successful candidate should
pay the 'lager'' for the crowd. Sam
pushed for the passage Of this resolu-
ton; and when it was passed all Of his
rivals withdrew from the field. Sam
paid the lager With a hurrah. Since
then it has occurred to him that ONE
thing was "put up" No. 2 are trying
to purchase the two story brick build
ing opposite their present house. We
understand that they have offered S2,-
900 for it. They hold q special meeting
on the proposition tonight. The brick
builing was erected by Dr.. Schneider,
and is rs feet in depth by 20 in width.
It is every way suitable for the big En-
CINE Company. We understand several
members have subscribed 500 each.
