tsrday morning, after the 8 o'clock
train from Carson had passed up, q
heavy slide Of earth and rocks occurred
In the second cut south Of the long tun-
mel below American Flat. When the

loaded ore cars, several empty flats,
and a passenger car, preceded by the To-
connective Humboldt, passed down from
Virginia, not being able to see the OBJ
struction. the cut being in a curve, un-
I'll within 100 yards, q collision with It
could not be prevented, although the
brakes were promptly whistled down.
The locomotive was driven forclbly
into and upon the mass OF debris, and
thrown completely off the track, the
tender following. None OF the bal
ance of the train was displaced or in
jured ut all. It took all day to clear
away the obstruction and get the loco
motive upon the track again. The To-

to Carson. and the Humboldt Is at

ginia, being repaired. She was not in

DIFFERENT VERsIoN.-The Enter
prise Of yesterday, says: 1t now APP
pears that the boy William Watkins,
who had his skull fractured, received
the injury by falling upon a rock. he
owns, we are told, that there was no
truth in his first story that James Ray
lin, q n~eighbor, hit him with a rock.
Mr.. Ravlln is said to be 4 very quiet
gentleman and one by n means likely
to be guilty Of such an act as that with
which he was charged. It seems that
the boy is very saucy, and was run
ming away from Mr.. Ravlin, after call
ing him names, at the time the acct
dent happened him. In looking back
to see how closely he was followed, 1t
appears that ho tumbled of a walk and
struck his head upon q sharp rock.
