THE OVERLAND Stage AoorDEsr.-Th


: accident to the Overland stage Of which
Z We made a brief item in yesterday
:. NEws, according to the account OF tn
passengers, was occasioncd by the fail
" ure Of the brake to work properly, owing
to being covered with snow and ice, II
: descending a steep grade a short a,s'
TANGO the other side of Mountain Weiis
Station. Tho team broke into q run,
= and the driver seeing the only onance
) for safety was to run them INTO the pans
+. by the roadside, did so. The coacn
I upset in consequence. There were SIX
passengers aboard-one lady Mrs. Hen
drie) and FIVE gcntlemcn-and, strange
. to relate, but one person was seriously
l injured. The person hurt was James
P. Clough, of Austin, who had his right
arm broken above the wrist. One man
had his leg caught urder the coach,
and remained imprisoned for nearly half
an hour before he was released, out
finally came out uninjured. Joseph O..
Holiday, a son Of Ben. Holiday. the
we'll known Overland mail contractor,
was on board, but escaped without a
scratch. After the upset, young Holla-
day was the first to get out of the coach
and get hold Of the team, which he held
until u%uhitched. The coach did not
move more than n foot after cNpsizing.
Had the team run away, the man under
the coach-in fact, all who we're in the
coach-would have been most perilous-
ly situated. DR.. Brysrly attended Mr..
Clough upon his arrival in Virginia
city, and found hat the two bones of
the arm below the elbow were broken,
and the single bone above the elbow
was broken in two places. Mr.. Clough
also received a severe cut over his right
eye, and one or two others were slightly
bruised about the face.
A TRACE OF RrLEY.-Tom Bedford
came in yesterday from a hunt after
Riley. He says that q colored man met
a man, last Sunday evening, who an
swers to Riley's description, in the sage
brush between here and Ophir. Some
miners whom Bedford met had also seen
q person supposed to be the fugitive (;
and a man, undoubtedly Riley, went to
the Washoe Postofice on last Monday
night and made inquiries regarding
Sheriff Smiths and O'Grady's condi-
ton. When the colored man and miners
alluded to saw this person, he had evil
IDENTIFY been hiding among the rocks and
brush. Bedford thinks there is no doubt
about this being Riley, and thinks he
has gone to California Carson appeal,
thi, morning.
DELICIOUS MEATs.-Any person visit
ing Gold Hill, and seeing the delicious
golden-colored quarters of fat beef al

mill-together with pork, mutton, saul
sages, etc-will come to the sensible
conclusion that the Gold Killers are 60
ing to live we'll on Christmas; which
comes on next Wednesday. These mar
kets are worth visiting.
