The cause OF the accident was the jump
ing of the tracks of the trucks OF q stock
car in the middle of the train. They
bumped along the ties for POO yards until
narrow part of the roadbed was reached,
With precipitous banks on both sides.
The deraied car at this point struck some
rotten ties ON the west side The ties
gave way and the whole weight of the car
being thus placed on the edge of the slope,
the roudbed gave way and slipped down
the hill Cars and track went together,
and the couplings holding, the engine was
bodily dragged after them. The engine
went high in the cir and turned com
pletely over, entirely wrecking it. The
cars in the middle of the train went to The
bottom Of the hill, and were smashed into

Rats Taking q Spin.

The following choice bit of fiction
comes from the pen of Jim Townsend
of the Homer Index, and can be re
lied on:
A colony of huge wood-rats has
taken possession of the old postoffice,
which the cunning and interesting
rodents are preparing for Winter
residence. Some of their pranks are
amusing, and they do things which
seem to be quite impossible, just for
fun of it. Looking down from the
the cOckloft into the old store, he
was astonished to see the wheels of
Buttertield's buggy whizzing like
buzz saw. Upon closer inspection
he saw, by the bright moonlight, that
each spoke was literally loaded with
hugh rats, allchattering andsquealing
III Infinite glee. After a minute or
two a wheel stopped and a dozen or
more rats jumped off and scampered
towards the cellar, returning almost
instantly, each with potato in his
mouth. Dropping the spuds in front
of long -whiskered old fellow they
reJoiued their comrades on the wheel
which began to whizz again. The
spectator, though in undress uniform
viewed the novel sight with much
interest and finally explained it to
himself. The rats had got hold of
an illustrated newspaper with a cut
of the Ferris wheel at the Worlds
FAIR, and had raised the buggy on a
bale of hay to give the wheels play,
determined to have Jolly ride
around, ali the same as the big Chic |
ago revolver The long whiskered
old fellow was the originator of the |
scheme and charged a potato head |
for ride. The looker-on put on
his cloths and went out to tell others |
about the singular show When he |
with his friends there were |
no rats in sight and the wheels were |
still, but the hubs were hot,

The Parsons Present.

Carson people will remember
Laura Dainty the charming little
elocutionist who visited Carson a few
years ago. She is now Mrs. Phelara.
The writer met her in Chicago and
she sent by him present to Parson
Davis.
1t was a Dutch beer mug of one
quart capacity and had a large
pewter lid on it. On the bottom is
inscribed:
''Swiped from a popular Gam
brenus temple in Denver Col, by
Laura Dainty Phelam expressly for
the Rev. Geo. r. Davis of Carson
City Nevada, during a fit OF temporary
mental abstraction-on the part of
the waiter" The lady explained that
the proprietor agreed to present her
with a much better mug, but the
novelty of swiping one herself was
too great to be resisted, especially as
some of her friends accused her OF
lacking the nerve to do it. The mug
is highly prised by the Parson who
has written her a letter granting full
absolution for her sly whack at the
Eighth Commandment.
