A THOUSAND Tons or Rock TUMBLE
THUNDERING FROM A NEVADA CRAG.-
About IL O'Clock Thursday morning the
whole town was startled a terrific roar
and a jar like an earthquake, which sent
people flying out of their houses in all
directions. A glance up the side of
Mount Olsen revealed the cause OF the
phenomenon. One of the sharp peaks of
fOliated granite near the summit, loosen
ed by the late rains, had toppled over
and was rushing down a steep ravine di-
rect,y toward the centre of the town, with
appalling force, crushing and grinding
everything in its pathway. For 4 few
moments it look ed as though several
houses were doomed to inevitable des>
truction, but fortunately the slide scat
tered and was checked in the talus at the
foot of the cliffs, causing it to stop short
Of any of the buildings. One immense
boulder, weighing not less than fifty tons,
came down with fearful velocity, strIk-
ing the rock bench above tnwn and
breaking it in a thousand fragments,
which stopped on the fiat a few rods from
the China house on Clarke street. Dur
ing the progres of the slide everybody
was shrieking with CONSERVATION and
manypeople sought safety In wild night.
One enterprising s~aloonkeeper struck out
down the canyon on pressing business,
making such haste that he slipped the
bends of the road, taking the arms of
the lake at a jump.
The editor of the Ider went out to
try and catch a delinquent subscriber Cd
the fly. One lady gave a screech and
locked her door to keep the slide out,
while another ran across the street and
climbed a plank fence for security. The
card players in Jack Murray saloon left
without waiting to call for their drinks,
OF counting the game, and struck fol
the head of the canyon at a 2.2O gait.
Altogether the excitement ran rs high
for a few minutes as it did in the proud
est times of the now slides last winter.
1t is estimated that at least 800 or ,
900 tons of rock came down In the slide.

Mr.. SHELDON'S Coop SHOT. II. j.
Sheldon left his camp at Cooper City, on
the Pecos, last Saturday afternoon IN
search of game. About 4 o'clock in the
afternoon the burro, which had wander

sound Tor which Its species is noted and
refusing to be caught or comforted. Not
being able to make out from the report
of the confused burro just what had hap
pened, Mr.. Sheldon cooked his gun and
advanced slowly and cautiously on the
unknown enemy. Crawling a,ong on his
hands and knees for about a quarter of a
mile he at length doubled IA bend in the
river, and there. standing IN full view in
the meadow, and not more than $50
yards away, he saw a huge grizzly bear
with three cubs, and just beycnd the
bear, and in direct range with her, an
animal that he at once recognized as the
long-sought-for elk. Neither OF the beasts
was aware of bis approach, SO quietly
rising upon one knee and resting his rife
across the other, which is Mr.. SIS favor
lite position in shooting, he took deliber-
ate aim. Bang went the gun, away sped
the bullet, and down fell wv animals

S. himself. The bullet had cut the back
bone of the bear completely in two and,
passing on through, had lodged in the
heart Of the elk and the extraordinary

speedily Mr.. S. advanced upon the prey,
hunting knife in hand, but life was cx-
tinct in both animals. The little cubs.
on hearing the report Of the gun, fed

speedily captured, tied in bags, and fas-
tened on the bach of the horse.
