A SickeNiNG ACCiDESr.-Aoout II
o'clock, this forenoon, a fine four hors,
quartz team, belonging to Sol. Noel,
was standing at the dump Of the Steven.
o mine, Main street, just below the
Tunnel road, and shortly after Noel had
commenced loading the wagon, having
shoveled in perhaps Eve hundred pounds
Of quartz, when suddenly the lead-hor-
SEES sprang forward drawing the wheel
ers aud the wagon after them. Being
on the down-grade of the street, the
wagon being a large heavy one, and
running at a very rapid rate, no one
being on the wagon. A great many
people were on the street and on the
sidewalks, but no one had the hardi-
hood to attempt to stop the fleeing team.
As il came laundering down the street,
the huge wagon came in contact with II
large charcoal wagon, standing in front
of Hills blacksmith shop, breaking the
coupling pole, aud otherwise injuring il.
The wheel-horses OF the runaway team,
evidently tried 10 stop the leaders, aud
as they reached the Town Hall, run the
wagon on the sidewalk, one of the
wheelers striking the Liberty pole Of
Yellow Jacket Hose, bending II over,
hut not breaking it. All the horses fell
down, and the tongue of the wagon
broke through the front of a small
frame building, next door to the Town
Hall, occupied rs q shoemaker's
shop, aud smashing almost entirely the
weatherboarding, door and window.
The c~oupling-pole and tongue OF the
wagon were both broken 10 two; and
on the crowd of persons, who soon as
Sembled, clearing away the wreck from
the fallen team, it was found that one
horse had his back broken, aud died in
a very few moments. Two other horses,
on being raised TO their feet, were found
to have each one foreleg broken; and
the fourth animal was very much bruis-
ed, aud injured more or less, but he
was aole TO be taken to the stable. The
other two horses were soon found 10 be
so badly injured, that it was deemed
hest TO kill them, which was done by
Marshal Cummings, who fred q pistol
ball into their brain, to get them out Of
their misery. The sight Of those poor
animals, aud their killing, was truly
sickeuing. ln an hours time, they ha!
Ill been hauled TO the bone-yar I'd. Mr..
Noel is u Woodworking man, and the
team was about all the property he had.
His circumstances being known, some
of his friends soon started a'Subscrip-
ton for his relief, and we doubt not his
loss will be nearly or quite replaced by
free subscriptions.
BESsLEY a TAYLoR.-These W gen.
tlemeu recently bought out the splendid
Billiard Saloon of White & Mitchell, in
Gold Hill, and have opened it in tip-top
style, with very excellent tables, and
wines, liquors, porters, ales, elders, and
other beverages, and cigars, second to
no Saloon in Gold Hill. That very
clever and excellent bar-keeper, Sam
Bose, too, has been retained as chiei
mixologist. The crowd of amateur
billiardists, and eonRoisseUrs in the pro-
ducts Of genuine yintages, testify daily
and nightly to the comforts to be found
at Bensley / Taylor's. A large silver
pitcher filled with iced Sherry-cobbler,
and samples of Sszerac and Bourbon,
with a quantity of Havana cigars, placed
upon our editorial table to-day, also
give evidence that the new firm Gre
member the printer" and that they are
liberal gentlemen TO deal with.
wAsaoE EXCHANGE. - The Washoe
Exchange, opposite the Enterprise office,
Virginia, is now one of the finest Sa-
looms on the Pacific coast. A few even
ings since we called in TO see the changes
that had been made since it had changed
into the hands Of 0rndorf & Evans.
found everything so arranged that
any one having the blues can get cured
IN FIVE minutes. They do not make
much money from billiards, for the
reason that the players have to wait so
long for the ball to stop rolling. II you
TO spend an hour in good healthy
amusement, where you receive all the
asked for, go to the Washoe
Exchange and see Uncle Dave and Jim.
A New MAcaISE.-We were shown a
new invention to-day for the concen-
Of tailings from our mills. It is
simple 10 its construction, and promises
to be superior to anything Of the kind
vet inyeuted. The inventors are put
ting it up at the Union Mill, where it
can be seen 10 operation on Tuesday
next. If the machine will do what the
inventors claim it will do, it will prove
u great benefit to our mining interests.
After we see il in operation we will give
our readers II full description Of it.
