Phoebe, New. April 8. 1876.
A ROUGH Thrive find the following
description of the roads in the vicinity
OF Hamilton in the w. P. News. The
Phoebe stage left Phoebe last Wednesday
morning at 8 o'clock, and got within
four miles of Hamilton OF Q o'clock on
Thursday evening. At this point the
storm was very severe. and tho i'm
mense snow drifts entirely impeded their
progress. After numerous efforts to get
the horses and sleigh through the drifts,
and it was found to be impossible, the
passengers dug hole in the snow and
concluded to camp until morning. Fred.
Gllmer, the company's road agent, hap
pened to be aboard the stage, and came
10 town on foot for assistance. Two
teams were Immediately got in readiness,
and with number of men started TO the
assistance OF the passengers, who were
brought to town about nine o'clock on
Friday morning. A passengers. named
Daniel Robb was unfortunate enough to
have his feet frozen. The names Of the
passengers were Thos. CULLEN, Mrs.
Lizzie J. Watt, Rolla Watt, Alva Watt,
Miss Ella Foster, Louis Jacobs and
Daniel Robb. Robert Hoffman, the
keeper of the toll-gate about mile and o
half below Hamilton, on hearing of the
situation of the passengers went to their
assistant and took with him buffalo robes
and blankets, and rendered very material
aid in digging them out OF the snow. 1t
is almost miracle that the whole party
were not frozen to death.
Cock FIGHT.-A cock fight took place
on Sunday last, near the Raymond & Ely
stables, between cock owned by II. o..
Chaplin and one red rooster brought there
by Matt Lannan. After fight of some
fifteen minutes Lannan's chicken was
beaten. Several other fights took place,
In all of which Chapin's chicken came
out best. Pat Holland happened to go to
Bulllonvil!e on Sunday, and whilst away
some one entered his hen-coop and took
away his rooster to the fight. The
rooster was whipped, as matter Of
course, be being on strange ground.
Pat intends planting few torpedoes
around that yard to keep out interopers
in future whilst he is absent. .
INDIsposED.-We regret to learn from
the Eureka Sentinel that Miss Fannie
Mclean, teacher of the primary depart
ment of the Public School, has been
confined to her room for two days with
severe cold. During her absence from
her post Mr.. and Mrs. Hetzel have at
tended to her pupils in addition to their
regular duties. Miss McLean was better
Friday evening. Miss Mclean has many
friends in Phoebe who will regret to hear
of her indisposition.
ALMOST PoIsoNED.-On Sunday night
one of the "girls, residing on Meadow
Valley street, took an overdose OF NOR
phine. which came very near resulting
fatally. Two doctors were called in,
however, who soon dislodged the poison
by aid Of stomach pump. There was
no intention of committing suicide, some
learn, but the morphine was taken to
produce sleep. and was not larger dose
than she had taken often before, but in
consequence of fasting few days it
came near having fatal effect.
