Sunday. John Lee. the we'll known
merchant in attempting to cross the
Truckee river at his ranch seven miles
from Wadsworth. in his spring wagor.
missed the ford he has successfully
used for many years. or the water was
too high TO cross the stream at the
time, and the flood gave him the most
thrilling experience of his life. Tho
water lifted the wagon and swept the
horses from their feet, The wagon upset
and threw Mr.. Lee into the river. He
was carried some distance down stream
and undoubtedly would have perished
had not John Moore had the presence
Of mind during all the trouble TO keep
Mr.. Lees body In sight and he finally
succeed inIanding him on the banks.
The horses were nearly drowned and
were saved only by hard work.

A Sunday Storm.

A number Of people sought pleasure
Sunday afternoon some miles down the
river. The boys went to hunt and the
ladies' went TO fish or to take life easy.
The people who vent to Sunday school
had shelter and those who went down
the river, had none until they were
wringing wet from head to heel. The
storm was equal to cloudbxst anc the
water cane from the heavens in sheets
The lightning flashed and the thunder
roared and with each crash The ladies'
shivered. Then they decided to build
fire and thaw out and have lunch, but
they did not succeed in fixing their friz-
zes we'll enough to keep jokes from flying
about them. The ladies' were Mrs. Cy
Hoover, Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Budden
and Miss Elizabeth Murphy and they
made & splendid time over distress
ing situation.

VIII Not Be Built.

Reliable Information reaches the
Dispatch that the talked OF cutoff from
the C. g. c. to Hazen on the Central
Pacific will not be built. Much has been
said Of this project and 1T was claimed
that IL would greatly shorten the haui
Of Tonopah ores. II seems. however
that the published accounts Of the ad-
vaniages to be obtained BY this cutoff
were largely exaggerated and the gain
would be so little that it would not pay
for construction.
