course, following up SIx-mlle canyon,
is gaining ground in the minds OF
many. Some hold to the belief that
the heavy swing of the Comstock to the
eastward in the Ophir will yet carry it
in the direction of the Lady Bryan.
The fact that no ledge corresponding
with that of the Lady Bryan having
ever yet paid on the south side OF
Six-mile Canyon. gives some weight to
these opinions. If the new discovery
proves anything near what is expected
Of it, we certainly will oon have the
pleasure of reporting to the world an
other rich and extensive ore-body.
Last evening about s o'clock, says
the Virginia Enterprise of Wednesday,
Hugh kearney, of Dayton, was run
ove by a coasting sled while crossing
Washington street. and had both zone
of his left leg broken at n point about
three inches above the ~ankle-joint.
The left side of his head and face was
also badly cut and bruised. and the
skin was torn from the back OF his
right hand. He was thrown to the
ground with such force that he was
knocked senseless, the blood gushing
from his nostrils. He was taken to the
Gould and Curry clearinghouse,
where he was attended by DR.. Nc
Means. Mr.. Kearney says that Two
slcds with men upon them were com
ing down the street at railroad speed
and were within ten feet OF him before
he saw them; the men uttering no
warning cry. The sleds were a few
feet apart and coming in such a way
that he could not tell which way to go
to escape. He is OF the opinion that
after knocking him down the men did
not attempt to stop, though, being in
sensible for considerable length Of
time, he don't know what became Of
them. He knew neither of the men.
1t is about tire that a stop was put to
this business Of coasting on the trav-
eled streets. There are not only many
teams crossing Washington street, but
many men, women and children are
passing along the street at almost all
hours of the day and night. Narrow
escapes from being run over by the
'sleds of the coasters r made every
day by persons residing in that part of
the town, and all wish the nuisance
abated, for it has become a nuisance,
and q very dangerous one. The same
may be said in regard to Carson and
some others of the cross streets. The
Chief of Police should warn the coast
ers off these streets and all others
where they are likely to hurt them
selves or others.
Says Tuesdays Enterprise: G.. w.
Hammer, Superintendent of the
Wells-Fargo mine, yesterday caused
the arrest of Mrs. Tyrrell, Principal OF
the First Ward School, on "a charge OF
using undue severity in Furnishing
his nephew, Albert X. Myers, a boy
IA years of age. A rattan was used on
the palm of the right hand, and it is
said hat it Tapped round the hand and
made four or five welts OF the back
of the hand. The boy SAYS be was pun
ished tor coughing, and hat he could
not help coughing. Undue severity
may have been used in this instance,
perhaps; if SO, it will probably he
seer in the hearing that will be had
before Justice Knox at $3.50 this after
noon, but it is pretty certain that some
of the youngsters of this town are vi
cious and unruly whether at school or
at home. We are informed by those
who have had ample opportunity foi
observation that raising the cough
is a favoriIe means of annoying teach
ers, as those who thus cough are never
able TO help it,"
