pany. Plaintiff is a miner, and he
alleges that on the LIST of March last he
was at work for the defendant in its

the defective machinery and apparatus
connected with the cage, permitted the
cage to fall down the shaft, distance oil
about thirty feet. upon the plaintiff,
whereby. without any fault OF his, he
was badly crushed and wounded, and
had his backbone badly fractured and
permanently injured, so that he has
been rendered wholly unable to attend
to his business or earn his living; where

George Hadley yesterday gave us a de,
scripton OF a remarkable animal, says
the Sentinel, which he saw about ten
days ago while hunting stock in the
mountains on the other side OF Moss
Creek. He described it as of a yellowist
color and of body nearly as large as a
California lion, but with longer legs ant
a bristling line of hair on the top of its
neck like the reached name of horse
or mule. 1t was evidently of the feline
specie, as its movements were like those
of panther, but resembling that ami
NAL in no other particular. Mr.. Hadley
came upon the animal in deep gulch,
and was within forty feet Of il before il
was observed. When the beast saw hin
it started to run and crossed the gulch {
short distance above, affording Mr.. Had
ley full view and enabling him to de
scribe it with considerable accuracy. Blu
for the name, in regard to which our in
formant was positive, We should surmis.
that it was q California lion that hat
strayed from its usual haunts and fount
home in the mountains of Eastern
Nevada but, with the description, W,
must confess that our geological knowl
edge is insufficient to classify it or Civ
| it a name.
