President Adams, of the Union Pacific rail.
road, and his party are now taking in all the
sights to be seen on the Union Pacific and all its
branches. Just now they are little off the
Union Pacific line, having gone to Leadville,
which necessitated their going on the Denver
& Rio Grande. But after this little diversion
they will return to the road over which Mr..
Adams presides and come west They will, in
taking in the Utah & Northern, of course, come
to Butte. The purpose of the tour is to enable

ment and of the condition of the property of the
company. There is some speculation rs to

Yesterday couple of young gentlemen cut
taking an airing with buggy and team belong
ing to Owsley & Corwan, got so much inter-
ested in their conversation that they became
oblivious of their surroundings and of the course
the team WAS taking until they were called OH
suddenly to jump out of the buggy. They had
carelessly allowed the team to approach pros
peet hole and each horse wanted to go on the
other side and let the buggy take chances. The
young men took jump and landed right side
up The horses got over all right. The buggy
capsized into the prospect hole and it is the
greatest wonder in the world that 1t was not
broken. If it had not been an almost new
buggy and of the very best manufacture there
would not have been anything left Of it but
pieces As it was however, only two wheels
were broken, not spoke left in them, and the
other two wheels were considerably damaged.
Be tn spindles on one side were sprung and
both spindles on the other side were bent and
the pole was turned into toothpcks, and the
t. p looked as if it had been acting as running
gear for the buggy for the last half mile. l. is
the greatest wonder i'll the world the buggy
was not broken.
