A Telescopcd Wreck.

Harry Rice of this city, who was
the engineer on one Of the freight
locomotives in the collision on the
c. p. has reached Carson with one
arm in sling and is the only one
OF the engineers orfiremen on either
of the four locomotives who is able
to be up at the present time.
The locomotives are said to have
been the most disastrous looking
wreck ever seen, being nothing more
than a tangled and unacceptable
mass Of steel, iron and splinters,
and it was a mystery that the loss
OF life was not greater. The ex-
press car was also total wreck,
and while every express package
was recovered, nevertheless great
loss results from the fact that every
package was stripped of its cover
ing. and while damaged greatly, all
but four parcels were cast from
their wrappers, and their identity
and destination rendered uncertain.
The mail car was broken in two
right across the middle and teles-
COPIED at both ends, and in fact
looked like a mound of splinters,
and yet, strange to say, the three
postal messengers in the car es-
capped without any material injury.

A Gritty Girl who Fooled q
Euuat,c.
Il Further particulars from LuDning
show that Miss Smith had very
narrow escape from being Killed
when attacked by Summe:field, the
lunatic.
| Summarized was a young man
about 20 years of age, who had
lived in the mountains for some
time prospecting, when he met
Miss Smith, sister-in-law of John
Dormer, Secretary of State. She
has for some time had charge of
the station 1t Lunning, on the c.. &
G K. r. She has charge OF the
telegraph and ticket Office. and also
the freight Office. Although not 20
years Of age, size handles all the
business of the office, and has never
made mistake since she was in
the employ OF the company.
Last Fall Summer6eld came there
quite often to get freight, and then
began coming when he had no
freight. He fell in love with
Miss Smith, but she declined his at
tentions, and he then wandered off
in the mountains and became a
raving maniac. His appearance as
a wild man began to excite the at
tentiop OF people in hevicinity, and
sheriff's posse went out after him.
He was found in the hills raving
wildly, and it took four men TO bind
him. He was taken to lone and
then to Lunning, on the way to
Virginia City, where he was to be
examined by lunacy commission.
At Lunning he became quiet, and
was foolishly liberated. He went |
straight to the freight Office, and
rushing in grabbed up a large |
pair OF shears and announced to
Miss Smith that he was going to
kill her.
She was alone, and taken by
surprise, retreated, he following
with the shears uplifted like dag
ger.
Then remembering of a drawer
where there was siX-shooter, she
darted for it, but he jumped be-
tween and struck with the shears.
She warded the blow, and seizing
stick of wood, struck him square be-
tween the eyes, and springing over
him was through the door in an in
slant.
He rose and followed her, -four
Ishing the shears, when some men
him. He fought them like a wild
beast until he was knocked down
and bound.
He is a man of immense frame,
and for while 1t seemed as if he
would have the best of the fight.
Miss Smith has notified the
county Sheriff that his deputies
must let no more lunatics loose in
