Monday: This mornings through
passenger train, when near Hut1a-
ker's, about five miles this side Of
Reno, met with what may be desi gnat-
ed As a fortunate accident. As we learn,
the track at this point is inclosed by
fences en- each side. By some means
Y drove of cattle gained entrance, and
in the darkness of the stormy night
were unable to extricate themselves
from the impaled position upon the
approach OF the oncoming train. The
consequence vas that the train rushed
full tilt into the band, killing about a
dozen head, thereby dislodging the en-
CINE and three cars from the track.

Of the slaughter pen awaiting their
turn at the wheel. We have not

to the fault of any one in particular.
From the same paper we copy the
following: The inhuman wretches
who have been kindfing fires around
town have been caught. -Four young
men Of Carson, we have not their
names at command, having the 81 900
reward in view, put their heads to-
| gether and resolved to find out the
guilty parties, and after long and
shrewd work they have been rewarded
with success. Suspicion rested on a
young fellow who has been working
on the gravel train OF the V. Il +. X.
| r., aud one of our self-constitnted de-
tectives procured work ON the am
train, and nj once began pumping his
victim. After diligent work, and rep
reseniing that he v rs one Of the nj
stripe, our detective got his man TO
make u clean breast ofthe affair. The
fellow acknowledged to having set.

and had attempted to fire the bawdy
house and other places. he said they
next intended to effect ar entrance into
FOx's store, rob 1t and set the building
on fire. Our detective friends wanted
more proof, 80 they resolved to watch
their game, and Oh Saturday caught

were arrested aud lodged in Jail.
The gale which visited WinneEucca
last Saturday and blew down fences
and outhouses, had the force Of a hur-
cicane in the western part of the STATE
and In southern Humboldt. At Union
vile 1t leveled the Arizona stables, a
building 30xl20 feet, with the ground,
and smashed the timbers into stOve
wood, carrying some fragments at least
half = mile from where the building
stood. 1t tore down fences, and blew
down the smoke slack OF the Silver
mill, and injured the root of the mill.
The damage to buildings i'm the town
Of Unionville is considerable.
A number of men got to drinking
whisky in a saloon near the old Gould
Il Curry mill, in Six-mile canyon, Sat-
urday evening, and, as a not unnatu-
raj consequence, had q quarrel about
something, the result of which was
that one man named Gallagher WAS
shot in the arm by another named
Sweet. Like all other drunken rows
the exact particulars are hard TO be ar
rived At; but one thing Is sure, and that
