ton, while enroute home from Silver
City, on Thursday evening, had his
horses frightened near the station of
Joe Damon. They succeeded in
freeing themselves from the encum-
brance of Mr.. Barrett, and continued
on their wild career down the gulch.
Before leaving this place he, for Sc
curity. placed purse containing
$50 in coin in the jockey box.
When the horses were finally cap
tured 1t was found that the money
was gone. Some gentlemen who
met the team, making search, sue
ceeded in finding some thirty or
forty dollars of the amount scattered
along the road Mr.. Barratt is a
hard working industrious man, with
large family, ana can lily afford
the loss. We deeply sympathize
with him, but congratulate him that
the loss was not greater.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
A Man Falls Forty Feet in the
Silver Hill Shaft.

Yesterday morning, between 7 and
8 o'clock, a gentleman employed in
the Silver Hin mine, named John
Mills, met with an accident that will
undoubtedly cost him his life. While
putting in some bolts in the main
shaft. about forty feet from the lower
level, the cage came down, striking
him on the head, causing him to fall
TO the bottom. DR.. Schnabel, OF this
city, and DR.. Kirby, of Gold Hill,
were summoned, and, upon cxamina-
ton, found that he had received inju-
ries as follows: The vertebral
column dislocated about the center,
upper portion forced in toward the
lungs; compound fracture of the leg
between the knee and ankle; scalp
wound on head; also, several bruises.
Soon after the accident Mr.. Mills was
conveyed to the residence Of Mr..
John Dunbar, at lower Silver City, it
not being deemed prudent to take him
to his residence, owing to the con-
dition of his wife, who is about being
confined. There is scarcely q hope of
his recovery. Mr.. Mills had but re
Gently commenced work in the mine,

TO KATIE.

Our Harry" has gone away, Katie,
Away to Lake Tahoe to FISH,
And now the sunlight seems darker.
And OF I know that you wish
That he was back with his blarney,
His jokes, cen though ever SO free.
Caring so little who felt them
Whether twere you or 'twere me.
His luggage. you'd laugh'd 10 have seen II,
Tied in bandanna kerchief,
And he carried bottle Of something
He told me would give him relief
whenever he thought Of the flowed ones"
He'd left with their eyes. all so red,
Weeping, alas! at his absence,
Up at the house where he fed.
He showed me . new preparation,
And said it was death to q trout.
That when on the water twas sprinkled
They'd eat and come right away out;
He spoke Of a man with club, too.
But what he did with it-well.
Whenever you see him just ask him.
I'm almost sure he will tell.
He said he thought that soda
Would bring him out of the crooks
That in week or ten days
Thered be change in his looks;
And his cane he thought of leaving,
But said that would never do
As thought that he might need it
In the paths he should pursue.
He said he knevryou would miss him.
But he promised to be so true
To everything he said that night
He was walking out with you;
So Katie do not cry. for sure
know he will never stay.
More than week or two at most,
And he may be back to-day.
