RAILROAD ACCIDENTAL 6 o'clock


Sunday evening George W. White OF
this city had a p~erilous ride on the
Virginia. Carson and Truckee Rail
road, and brought up with a round
turn and anything but a whole skin.
One or two flat cars loaded with wood
had been run down from the flume
west of the city and stopped on the
track near the round house. White
started down with a third car, heavily
loaded with wood. and. after getting
under headwav, aScertained that the
brake would not work. a man named
Church was riding down on the reas
of the car, White being in front of the
wood. ON learning that the brake
would not work. and seeing that Il col
li>ion was inevitable, Church jumped
of. escaping without Il scratch. White,
however, stuck to the brake until the
collision occurred, when the pine
stakes in front of the wood gave way,
the car r~ebounded about six feet.
White was hurled violently to the
ground. and about two cords of pine
wood poured down upen him. White
received a severe cut Oa the head,
above the right temple. severing Il
branch of the temporal artery, which
hled prOfusely; the right shoulder.
side and hip were badly bruised, aasi
the right thigh considerably lacerated:
both hands were severely bruised ami
skinned; the nose looked like a wad
of unstuffed sausage meat, and the
right ear was split open. The smaller
wounds We're too numerous to note.
Strange to say. not a bone was traG-
tured nOr We're any internal injuries
sustained. White looks like he had
been run through a faX-break, but
Will be out i'll a day or two.

A SAMPLE.-J. r. Scott, who has
filled the old Bowling Alley with fine
imported liquors and cigars, sent some
samples to this office yesterday. The
brandy sent us is of the best quality
made in France. and is Just such as is
kept for sale in drug stores and used in
medicine. Scott has laid in Il heavy
stock, and families and others wishing
a pure article of wines or liquors
would do well to give him a call. His
imported cigars are simply delicious;
in tact, every article kept in his Sam
pie Rooms is of first quality, and will
be found exactly as Scott represents it.
