A FRIGHTFUL SPECTACLE.-A ten mule
team. drawing lumber, while coming from
the vicinity OF the lake this morning, went
over the grade near the head of Kings can
yon. The driver spraDg from the saddle,
thereby saving his life. He then stood still,
Mortified speechless witness To one OF the
most terrible scenes possible to imagine.
The mules, wagon and lumber pitched down

Two thousand feet into the bottom of the
gorge, wild cries from the crushed and man
gled animals rending the air as they were
hurled madly down the steep mountains side,
until. when nearing the bottom, and life be-
coming extinct, the agonizing sounds ceased
and all became silent in death. The man
says that alter the first hundred feet had been

NEvER MARY A SPORTING MAn-satr

NEvER MARY SPORTING MAN-Satur-
day Hon. Judge Gilmor, In the circuit court,
granted Martha Ann Jeter a divorce q me7lsd
ct hoTo from her husband, Thomas r. Jeter.
In the bill Of complaint Mrs. Jeter alleged
that Mr.. Jeter had failed to support herself
and children, deserving his family for months
at time. In his answer Jeter admitted he
did not support his family, but urged that
be was "sporting man, J" and frequently In
want Of money. He also said that so incom-
patible We're the views and opinions of him
self and wife that they scarcely ever met
without quarreling. 1t was impossible for
them TO live together in any comfort. Mrs.
Jeter also asserted that her husband was in
the habit OF assOciating with lewd- women.
Jeter denied that he associated with Iewd
women or other improper characters any
further than his character and occupation as
a sporting man rendered necessary. Intern.
perance and quarTeling in his cups were also
charged. Though this did not seem TO con-
fict with letters idea of a sporting man, -
he denied the charge OF intemperance, but
admitted that he Quarreled sometimes when
In state OF great excitement. In short, ii
appeared from Jeter's own admissions Tn at,
though sporting man" might be cor sid
cred good fellow by all the world outside
his family, he would never make a good
husband. There is moral in this for the
ladies-never marry sporting man." IL
