Christmas day passed in Winnemucca
very quietly. Everybody had something
out of the ordinary for dinner and seemed
to carry peace on earth. good will to

far as the Silver State is informed. there
was not a cross word spoken and every
one seemed to have set the day aside
for enjoyment. All jealousies and little
chickering's were laid aside and the day
devoted to pleasure. 1t is well that there
is one day in the 365 that can be de-
voted to making the world happier and
brighter. Another week yet remains to

.PER|LOUS TRIP
ON Ely STAGE
Five Passengers Overturned in
Deep Snow and Obliged to
Walk to town In Night.

Up from the canyons depths amid the
mountains came q terrible windstorm
Wednesday night and the Ely stage win
five persons aboard had perilous tip
to Eureka in the blackness of the night
The stage was driven by Charley An
derson of Eureka and he had as passen-
gers Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Peters and their
two children. Q and 1s years of age, who
we're on their way to California. The
wind drifted the new snow until the
road was completely erased and the as
cent Of Pinto summit was begun in the
face of binding blizzard. The storm
did not abate and the driver was Obliged
to give the reins to Mr.. Peters and go
ahead OF his team to find the road. The
crest of the mountain was crossed after
an awful experience. but a worse one
was In store for the storm-enya yaloped
travellers before their stage trip ended
Coming down the mountain. gust after
gust clapped down upon the sleigh with
frightful violence and when about four
miles out of Eureka the stage was run
upon an embankment and upset The oc-
|cupants were thrown out. but fortunately
were not injured.
To add to so terrible situation at the
midnight hour the horses took fright and
ran away. There was no shelter near
where the accident occurred aud to van
out in the awful elements until the driver
could recover his team or come to Erreia
for another conveyance was like facing
death in the night, SO they determined
to walk to town. The hour was then
o'clock and it was about o'clok Thurs
day morning when Eureka was reached.
Mr.. Peters father. Gum Peters. was
awaiting them in Eureka. having come
from Ely the day before, as the stage
accommodations are limited, and in the
afternoon the party took the train for
San Francisco. Just before leaving they
were seen by seninel representative and
asked If any ill-effects were. felt after
their trip over from Ely. Mr.. Peters
complained Of a lame back, caused by
striking something when he was thrown
out Of the stage. but thought 1t was MOTH
ing serious. Aside from this they stood
their hardships well, but the memory OF
the trip will abide with them.
The runaway horses came on into Eu-
reka and were found at the south end of
town. Two of the mail sacks were still
in the sled, out the rest OF the baggage
was spilled along the road and the stage
company sent out man to gather 1t up.
