HAND Cur OFF.-Tom Elliott, of
Elliott Brothers, mill, flume and wood
men, lost his right hand about 0 O'Clock
Saturday morning, says the Carson
Register, at the Summit mill, near the
head Of Clear Creek. He was attend
ing a circular saw, and having an iron
bolt in. his hand, got 10 near to the
saw that 1t caught the bolt and jerked
his hand against it. In an Instant the
thumb and little finger were entirely
severed from the hand, and the saw
striking the inside Of the wrist, passed
diagonally through to the skin on the
back OF the hand. The wound was
staunched and the sufferer was brought
to this city, where he underwent u
further amputation Of about two inches
of the bone. Elliott has always been
extremely careful in working about
the saw, and Is unable to account for
the accident. He has been In bad
luck Of late, having met with two
other accidents within q week. A
few days since the sleeve Of his under
shirt was caught between q band and
q revolving wheel, but with great
presence Of mind he threw himself
backward with great violence and tore
the sleeve off at the shoulder. On
Friday a steel chip from the saw
struck him In the eye and he came to
this city to have 1t extracted. He let
here yesterday morning. his eye still
being considerably inflamed, and the
loss OF his hand may be attributed to
his impaired sight, which doubtless led
to o miscalculatlon as to distance.
After the wrist was amputated MIR.
Elliott was taken to the White House,
where he will probably remain for
some days.
BULL Doc AND LYNX FIoHr.-Mr.
Barrett Of Carson Valley, near Day
ton, the owner Of two wildcats-or
lynxes, as they are said to be-was In
town yesterday, says Sundays Enter
prise, and secured the use Of Piper's
Opera House for some night this week
for the fight that Is to come of between
the two animals and a bull dog. Mr..
Barrett has made a bet with Mr.. Gee,
a neighbor Of his, OF ten bullocks
against $500 In coin that the lynxes
can whip his dog. The dog Is to be
matched against the smallest n Of
the two animals first. and In case he
whlps that one, the other will be turned
into the den. Besides this bet, Mr.. B.
has a bet of $3.50 with parties in Silver
City against q bull dog fifteen months
OF age, In case he has a lynx LETT after
the first fight, and should this dog get
the worst OF It, four other dogs from
Dayton will be ready to enter the
arena. The animals will DO placed In
a a 2 ten feet square, the front Of the
cage being provided with half-inch Iron
bars. The lynxes came In from Walker
river, following drove Of sheep driven
In by a Mr.. Osborne. They are said to
have killed sixty sheep during h time
the drove was en- route. The coming
fight Is bound to be much more lively
than the late battle at the Opera House
between the bull and bear.
