Under the head of A High handed Proceed
ing, the Ward Reflex of Saturday relates the
following:
We learn from Horace D. Beene, who re-
turned from Osceola yesterday, that on Wed
nesday eight men, the majority of whom are
well known in the county, made raid on r.
c. Laytons station at sacramento springs,
put his wife out of doors, tore down the
dwelling house, ice house, and partially de-
molished the stable. They were all well
armed and resistance would have been worse
than useless The men are all well known
to Layton. Why they proceeded against him
in this manner is not known, though Layton
himself is no doubt able to throw some light
on the subject.
The subjoined is also from that paper:
From A. r. Watson one of the passengers
who arrived by Tuesday Hamilton stage, we
learn that the stage narrowly escaped upset
ting in Murray Greek, about Is miles from
Ward 1t appears that when the fore wheels
struck the bridge the poles slid out from
under them and began to pile up in the mid
die of the bridge. The sage was stopped,
but one of the wheels kept linking gradually
and, had not two men come to the rescue
from the house near by, The stage would
have been turned bottom-sde-up in five Or
six feet of water. Eight passengers were on
board, and it would not ta,-e any great stretch
of the Imagination to pred ct what the result
would have been. MIR, Watson says all we're
aware of the danger out that they were
wedged in the stage So tight that it was i'm
possible to get out We call the attention of
the County Commissioners to the condition of
this bridge.
The residence of Mr.. and Mrs LOOMS

Sunday evening by tne upsetting of a coal oil
lamp. Some children gave a timely alarm
and the flames were soon smothered.
The Reveille relates the following thrilling
adventure and narrow escape from a terrible
death
Thursday evening last, Andrew Bradley, |
carman at the Frost shaft, had a startling |
experience and a narrow escape from death. |
He started to run car to the mouth of the |
shaft, supposing there was cage there to re-
ceive it, and not stopping to see if his sur
mise was correct. Johnny Thompson, the
brakeman, saw Bradley and the car rolling on
toward the danger of destruction, and let out
a veil that walked the echoes of the hills. His
was none too soon, but it was too late
for Bradley and the car to stop, and the latter
went crushing down the shaft and the former
was saved from instant death by a very close
shave. When he succeeded in letting go of the
car, he was lust at the edge of the shaft, and
would have went headlong to the bottom
about 700 feet-had he not fortunately caught
1old of the top of the planks which form the
partition that divides the shaft into compart-
nents. There he hung for seconds with 700
eet of space under him, but the brakeman
md others soon came to his relief and lifted
lim from his perilous position Mr. Bradley's
lair was gray before this little incident in his
,areer. ."
