vALuABLe Horse KILLrD.-About

uOkSE hiLLkp Aoous y
O'Clock this morning a heavy eight-horse
quartz team, belonging to Mr.. @. Wells,
was passing down Main street, and when
opposite the Vesey House, from the de-
fectiye action of the brake, or some sim
liar cause, the, heavily loaded wagon
pressed forward upon the horses, md
the of wheeler got his lea hind leg
caught under a wheel and broken, SO
that he was obliged to be shot. The
animal was o valuable ono, and a scri-
GUS loss to the owner In all such cases
the wheel horses are naturally the ones
which have to suffer, and they are gen.
orally the largest and best in the team.
Transfers cannot be too careful or
watch their brakes too closely, yet even
tho most careful of them will be de-
ceived by wood or iron sometimes, and
thus unavoidable accidents occur.
LOWER GoLD HrLL.-We hope the
people Of lower Gold Hill will largely
attend the benefit of Liberty Hose and

lower Gold Hill and beyond the reach
of the Water Works, they would find

the savior Of their property. And in
this respect, even tho people In Silver
City can appreciate its probable service.
Let them ali come 10 the benefit tonight.
