[Ff0m the hccofu OF teUl ILL
On Thursday last, A. B. Hunt and
Harry Bryant started from Bullion
Vile in a buggy. The night was very
dark, and Us they were passing the
point where the Bowery mill Is being
built there was a very large stone in
the track, which had been carelessly
left In the road by some one. This
rock was nearly two feet square, and
as the buggy wheel struck 1t the jar
scared the horses, and they commenced
to run at q terrific speed, throwing
Bryant out Of the buggy with great
force and stunning him for q time. but
not seriously injurlng him. A. B. Hunt
wal thrown nearly clear Of the buggy,
but caught on tho top Of 1t, and by
great presence OF mind managed to get
back Into the buggy. He then got
hold of one Of the lines. BY this time
the horses had reached the alkali fiat
north of Bullionyille. Holding to this
one line Mr.. Hunt managed to keep
the horIes running in a circle for some
time. After they had run In this way
for over two miles Hunt succeeded In
grasping the other line. Just as he did
50 he was strengthening himself up and
would have stopped the team, but un-
fortunately the buggy upset, falling on
him, and In this condition he was
dragged nearly q quarter Of a milo be-
fore he let 20 Of the lines. AT last he
was so violently shaken and so pros
trated that he lost his hold OF the lines,
and at that instant the buggy In some
way passed of from him and left him
In the sagebrush, bruised and how'll
dered. The horses continued running
In q circle for some time, and then
passed Into o field, where they were
caught. Strange to say, the horses es-
capped without Injury and the buggy
without u break. Mr.. Bryant Is all
right, but Mr.. Hunt Ia suffering greatly
from Internal injury, though he Is up
aud attending to business, and eK-
presses himself as opposed to night
rides on the Bullionville road.
N. A. Knapp, while working his
way UP Meadow Valley street, a few
evenings since, stepped Off a bank
about two feet high and broke one of
the smaller bones Of his left leg below
the knee. His ankle was put out Of
Joint ut the same time. We have no.
ticed about q dozen men going on
crutches within a week past.
J.. NJ. Daniels, better known as
"Kentuck," arrived In Phoebe on last
Thursdays stage. 1t is hardly neces-
sary to add no Is from Virginia, for
every one knows "Ksntuck"-by rep
utation at least. We do not know rs
yet what he is ION "-perhaps "play-
ing on the green"
Capt. H. H. Day, Superintendent
elect Of the Meadow Valley Company,
has arrived In Phoebe. lie called on
US yesterday, and expressed himself as
we'll pleased with the prospects OF the
district.
General Conner left for Salt lake
| City on Friday last. The General has
without doubt travelled more miles
within the past year than any three
men In the State.
Travis Bros. are now stocking the
road preparatory to putting on a daily

ScuEIh CREEK.-rhe White Pine
Ne,rs of Monday, says:
Tom Flitcroft, Billy Betherds and
Nat Luce arrived from the Eastern
part Of the State last Saturday. Fit
croft Is enthusiastic regarding tho
future Of the mines In the Schell Creek
range, and he represents the Wood
burn, McMahon, Cow & Calf and other
mines improving as work progresses.

THE RAISED.

The telegraph Informs us that the
great chronic snow blockade on the
Union Pacific Railroad Is at last raised,
but whether permanently or only tenn
porarily, remains to be seen. 1t Is
pretty good, however, to have 1t raised
ever for q day or two, in order to let
some of the delayed trains with pas
sengers and mails slip through. 1t Is
now nearly a month since we have
had any through Eastern mall, the
last arriving here January 10th. If the
telegraph tells the truth, we may look
for some Of the delayed mail in the
course of a day or two. Bitter Creek,
so frequently mentioned in the tele-
grams from the blockade, Is tributary
Of Green river, and Il about $50 miles
east OF Ogden, and just this side Of the
blockade. All tho western bound
trains are reported as having passed
Bitter Creek, and would be at Ogden
this morning. This certainly Is very
encouraging. The road Is reported
open between Bitter Creek and Raw
Inns, seventy-six miles farther east, but
rs tho telegraph says the passengers
expected to make the distance In two
days, We judge the road Is not very
open just yet. East of Rawlins the
trains are reported to be slowly strug-
Cling through In each direction. From
Rawlins to Cheyenne, which Is east Of
the blockade, Is 1913 miles. About $50
miles may be stated as the extent Of
the blockade proper. Tho highest
point Of elevation Is at Sherman, 80
miles this side Of Cheyenne, being
S,242 feet above the level OF the sea.
We certainly hope the telegraph Is
correct, and that the chronic blockade
is really and permanently raised. We
shall see.
