The train came 70 afull stop in less
than two seconds after the accident took
place. The crowd OF Cinnamon gath

one Of them offered to pull their unfor-
tunate c%ountryman from the track. The
man was picked up and carried into the

TIE point made by the Carson Tribune
Of Saturday, regarding the membership
Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, Is well taken. There Is no such
committee in existence. There was q
committee appointed by the Democratic
and Liberal Republican State Conven-
ton held In Reno two years ago. That
committee was composed OF both Liberal
Republicans and Democrats. The at
tsmpt msde by the chairman thereof to
drag into the Democratic party Liberal
Republicans who were elected members
OF said committee, Is not only indicate
but insulting. We are positive in as
sorting that at least one Of the gentle
mon. whose name appears as a member
OF the Aforesaid committee. In neither
inclined to connect himself with the
Democrats party. nor has hs affiliated
