The Drivers JAW BHoKEN.-Abous
three o'clock yesterday afternoon, as
Mr.. James II. Swain, Of Carson Val
ley, was coming down from the Divide
with a heavy load Of hay, drawn By
four horses, the brake gave way, pre-
c~ipitating the wagon upon the wheel
horses, which were unable to sustain
the Immense pressure from behind.
The four horses took fright immedl-
ately and ran down the hill In the VI
cinity of the Imperial works ut light
ming speed. When rounding the sharp
curve ut Bullion ravine Mr.. Swain was
precipitated to the ground with great
violence, alighting upon his head.
The team dashed on and upset the
wagon In from: OF the residence Of Hon.
sam Owens, converting Ii into a COM
pIete wreck. Mr.. Swain was picked
up In an insenslblo condition and car
ried to a house near by. An examin-
alton into the nature OF his injuries,
made by DIR. Manson, discovered the
fact that a fracture Of his right upper
law had been sustained, extending
~transyersely from the eye to the mouth.
There was an ugly cut over his rlSnt
eye, and his sides and back were badly
bruised. His brother-in-law,. w. IL.
Cary, came up from Carson this morn
ing 10 render whatever assistance the
injured man might require. We learn
that the sufferer wasquite comfortable
this morning.
