2 SUSANVILLE, Nov. 5.-Whirhng
down the steep grade into what is
known as the Devils corral" on the
Pratville road, the four horse stage
running from this city to Pratville
was wrecked this morning, killing
Mrs. Mary Williams, passenger, and
injuring the other FIVE occupants of
the vehicle.
The smash was caused by the snap
ping of the brake rod, throwing the
weight of the stage against the
horses. Two of the animals were
killed when the coach wheels struck
a rock at the bottom of the hill,
overturning the stage and throwing its
occupants to the ground
The stage left Susanville on its reg
ular trip to Pratville at O'clock this
morning in charge of George B. Long,
the driver. Seven miles out the road
dips sharply into the Devils corral" "
a rocky canyon. The descent is very
abrupt. As the stage started down the
hill Long threw his weight on the
brake Hardly had he done so when
the rod connecting with the brake
broke and the heavily loaded stage
plunged forward against the horses,
starting them on a mad gallop down
the grade with the heavy vehicle
lurching behind them.
At first the passen gers did mot real
ize their danger, but Long called to

Under the drastic order, which is to

and band will be transferred to Fort
Hancock at Sandy Hook, and Fort
Hamilton will then be left barren of its
great social inspiration, music, which
has long made it one of the gayest cen
ters of army life in America.
The official explanation of the change
is that it is a mere routine procedure.
According to statement made to-
night by one of the officers at Fort
Hamilton, the real reason that turks
behind the wholesale change in the per-
sonnel of the garrison is to be found in
the revelations as to the frolics of the
post contained in the alleged letters of
Mrs Claudia Hams. There are no
charges nor even intimations against
