The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1870-07-26

met with an accident on Sunday after
noon. while on his way from Phoebe to
this city. which resulted in the breaking
of both bones of the left leg about three
inches below the knee. The accident
occurred about 80 miles east of this city.
He was a passenger by Travis & Will
sons line, and at the point designated
the team became apparently ~ungovern-
able. The Colonel, with Judge Pitzer,
occupied the back seat in the stage.
Thinking that a runaway was imminent,
and acting under a presentiment that he
was about to meet with an accident, Col.
Thornton FASTENED to make his exit from
what he considered a per1lous position.
Placing his right foot ON the break block,
he stepped off, throwing the whole
weight of the body on the left leg.
The surface of the ground where he
aliehted was somewhat uneven, and he
Immediately fell, with the unfortunate
result already stated. The team, though
making unruly demonstrations by kick
ing and laundering, had attained no
great degree of speed, and that the sim
ple act of stepping TO the ground, q dis
lance of not more than two or three feet,
should have been attended with such
serious consequences seems almost I'M
accountable. On the way in from the
scene of the accident, the Colonel expe-
riepced the most e~xeruciating pain, and
when he arrived here the injured limb
was considerably swollen and infiamed.
NJ - - nj 49, CALLED an1
at once rendered all the surgical assist
ance of which the case would admit.
Soon after the arrival Of the stage, the
news of the accident spread rapidly
about town, and sympathizing friends
in great numbers hastened to call upon
the sufferer at his residence. The patient
rested comparatively easy Sunday night,
and during yesterday conyersed cheer
fully with the numerous friends who Wis.,
tied him.
A CoSrEMPTIDLE ScAMP.-For some
time we have been hearing Of the move
ments of a tall man whose chief de-
light seems to be to scare women and
children when their male protectors are
absent, In the evening. Gentle raps on
bed chamber windows. or the cautious
moving of curtains, if windows happen
to be up, appears to be his strong suit.
Several Indies have been nearly fright
ened out of their wits by the strange
visitations of this impertinent scoun-
drel. All who have got q glimpse of
him describe him as being q tall man,
but further than this none can furnish
.r.u,4saW, urIsoI s,t,hN lad N hfa
identity. A short time since, one brave
fired n shot at him, but unfortu-
nately missed her mark. Night before
last, this same individual was seen prowl-
ing around a private residence in the
upper portion of town. This infamous
scoundrel. whoever he may be, richly
merits a heavy coating of tar and feath-
ers, and if caught will doubtless receive
it-and. maybe. something worse.
SUCH A LOVE- OF A BONNET. The
latest oddities in feminine apparel are
those dilapidated, crimp-cornered cock
ades, which the dear creatures call bon
nets. A liberal display of ch~erry-colored
ribbons and a solitary rooster feather
may be tolerated, but when 1t comes to
those ODIfuSlNe dTtilClui HoMtfss anu
that blood-red rose in particular, pro-
truding from a bundle Of thistles and
leaves, and all quartered on the poop
deck of one Of these dilapidated soup
plate bonnets, which looks for all the
world as though every member Of the
Fat Mans Club had sat on it by turns,
we confess that we begin 10 weaken on
feminine taste. But these damaged
looking things are just now the rage in
the fashionable c%enters, and we presume,
therefore, that 1t is hardly advisable to
question the good taste of such Of our
White Pine ladies aa choose to wear
them.
LOOKING AFTER BASE BULLIoN.-Mr.
Webster. of the firm of Webster, Lewis
4 CO., New York, has been in town
several days on business connected with
base bullion matters. He represents a
house which deals extensively in lead,
and while here he visited most Of our
smelling works-the object of his visit
being, as we understand II, to investi-
gate the practicability of drawing on our
base metal products to supply his estab-
lishment. He leaves by to-day's stage
for Eureka.
An ATTEMPT TO BREAK JAIL.-F1ynn,
under sentence of seven years in the
State Prison, yesterday attempted to
break Jail. Some one had furnished him
n knife. with which he had almost sue
ceeded in cutting through the door of his
cell when discovered. As o as dis
covered, be was heavily ironed and
chained to the floor. and in that position
he will be kept until he takes his depar-
ture for the Warm Springs.
KERS DIsTRIcT.-Our latest advices re-
port progress in the principal mines of
this District, and the owners are delving
in fair ores, with the prospect of secur-
ing mills in a short time. The lodges
are large, and n called the Mother
Lead, of which the Saturn is a part, is
immense, with good pay ore throughout.
Chicago capital is interested in the
Saturn, and will be on the ground soon,
prepared to go ahead.
Our ON BAn.-The bail bond of Con-
stable Martin was yesterday reduced to
$3.50, which amount he gave, and there
fore was set at liberty. It strikes us
very forcibly that there might be a bit of
secret history connected with this whole
affair, which would not rebound greatly
to the credit of certain parties, If made
public.
Rich Strike. An important strike
was made, yesterday, in tho north cham
Der of the South Aurora mine. The ore
is said to be the richest hitherto pro-
duced by this mine. and the body or de-
post has the appearance of being very
extensive.
