A brilliantly imaginative reporter Of
the GoLD HILL News tho other day got
OF an item about the fearful storm in
the Sierra, saying
The clouds Of flying snow were binding,
and the roar Of the blasts was increased by

der Of rocks hurled down the mountains.
The tempest WAS 90 wild that IL made the

The Enterprise stole the item next

ing the ridiculous absurdity Of q wind
strong enough to stop . train OF cars
endways, even on . down grade, and
now the Eureka Leader and other live
exchanges are copying the item in good
faith and crediting 1t to the Enterprise.
Our reporter considers II q compliment
