.hLLIINo 2NNSlbEs "OiitA'oAt
an employee at the Succor mill, lower
Gold Hill. narrowly escaped death this
morning. By the accidental breakage
of a railing he was precipitated against
the big fly-wheel, the swiftly revolving
arms Of which threw him forcibly sew
eral feet back upon the floor. DIR.
ZabriSkie was ut once sent for. and
went down to attend him, rendering
all requisite assistance. Both bones of
his left arm We're broken below the ell
bow, and the first finger of his right
had to be amputated at the second
joint. The rear portion OF his scalp
was badly torn and lacerated, and he
was severely bruised and injured about
the head and body.
WAsHoE FLowERs.-Yestsrday, in
accordance with announcement, the
members of Phil Kearny Post, No. %,
turned out to the number of forty, anu
decorated the graves of comrades
buried near Virginia. The flowers for
which they had cent to Sacramento
failing to arrive, they used for the pur-
pose wild flowers and others grown In
the gardens and houses here, gener-
ously supplied by various citizens. 1t
was all the more appropriate that
those graves should be decorated with
Washoe flowers.
COMING FROM CAlesoN.-The .ippeal
makes mention of an excursion party
getting up at that place in order to
charter q passenger train and take a
trip over the railroad to Virginia some
evening and see the Zavistowskis, now
performing at Piper's Opera House. 1t
Is an excellent idea. Seats ut the the
alter can be secured In advance, and the
railroad fare for the round trip will
only be a dollar and a half. We can
guarantee our Carson friends that this
excursion will be Il very pleasing and
satisfactory one.
PIUTE MULE FEAsr.-The Piutcs
were busy, Sunday, dlsmantling and
appropriating n mule accidentally
killed OH the Divide that morning.
They stripped oil all his flesh, leaving
only his hoofs, head and ears, and a
few bones. Our native citizens will
luxuriate amid an affiuence Of mule
chops and slrloin for awhile, till the
next God-send in that line happens
along. It's au i'll wind that blows
nobody any good.
