tracted the attention of Minnie and
Adelaide Savery One of the girls
unhitched the horse from the cart
they were driving and led him around
the wreck, riding down to her fathers
house. where she gave the alarm. The
other girl stayed and encouraged Sal
monde. Mr.. Savery and his hired
man, both aged men, hurried up the
hill with jack. Meantime the Saw
cry girl rode on down to Steamboat
where she telephoned to Reno.
E. Mack, DIR. W. L. Samuels and
w. Henning went out Immediately in
one car followed by ]. S. Clark, Jack
Cunningham and ]. kienapple in an
other with block and tackle. When
they arrived it was 4:3O O'Clock AMI
Salmonde had been extricated by the
elder Savery. They then righted the
machine and removed the bodies of
Cassidy and O'Brien to Steamboat
and they were later removed to Reno
by Groesbeck & O'Brien company
on order of Coroner Davis.
From the time OF the accident u.,-
til the bodies were removed is esti-
mated to be about four and a ha.f
hours and it is possible Cassiday may
have frozen to death. Salmonde was
bruised and badly chilled by the ex-
posure and had he been left alone
little longer undoubtedly would have
lperished
The discovery of the accident was
fortunate because there is little travel
on the Geiger grade now. Owing %
scarlet fever in Virginia City t,e
schools were closed and the Savery
girls were coming home.

Two Men Dead the Result of
Accident On the Geiger Grade

Two dead and one in Reno hos
pital recovering from the effects OF
bruises and exposure is the fate of a
Party which yesterday left Rero i'll
ar auto for Carson and through mis-
take missed the road to this place
and took the Geiger grade to Vir-
ginia instead
The story of the fatal mishap, as
tod by the Reno Journal is as f'1-
ljws:
d. F. Salmonde, district mauaear
VI the NJ. Friedman company Of San
Francisco, and ]. H. O'Brien. an
agent for the same company, leIt
to-day morning, saying they were go
ing to Carson City and then to Gold
field. They drove their own car In
leaving Reno they picked up John +.
Cassiday of Seattle, who wanted to
come to Carson. Salmonde was at
the wheel.
In some manner the inexperenc-
ed travellers took the wrong road and
drove up the Geiger grade until they
came to the double S" where the
snow was two feet deep. They be-
came panic-stricken and turned
around, coming back to about a mile
and half above the Savery house.
Here, at a place called Rocky Point,
the machine began to slip and skid,
when O'Brien seized the steering
wheel, causing the machine to over
turn, fore and aft and crosswise OF
the road.
Salmonde cannot say whether the
two men were instantly killed but it
is believed O'Brien died instantly
from deep cut on the head. while
Cassidy probably froze to death. Sal
monde was pinned under the steering
wheel and front of the machine, but
was unable to extricate himself He
lay there about two hours when the

More Culture Evidenced by Miss
Foley; Calls Neil McGee a Prune

In the Boston Record of Decenl-
Der 9Th Miss Margaret Foley taxes
another fling at Nevada and Ne
vadans This time it is in reply to
an article written the Record by Neil
MCGEE Of the Industrial Insurance
commission, who resented Miss
Foleys unwarranted attack on the
n'iners of Nevada Miss Foley's ar.
ticle follows:
The east is east and the west IS
west and there is considerable differ
ence between them, as Mr.. Kipling
pointed out; and although Miss Mar
garet Foley, the Demosthenes of the
Massachusetts, suffragist, vaguely re-
allied it during her recent tour OF Ne
vada, which resulted in putting votes
for women on the law books of that
state, she has just been given shock
which causes her to see a greater
difference than ever before.
The shock was administered by
Neil ]. MCGEE of Carson City, New,
in letter he sent to The Record IN
consequence OF reading some printed
reports OF an interview which Miss
Foley gave to Boston newspapers on
her return from the west. She told
the impressions which Nevada and lis
people had made upon her, and Me-
Gee, having read the reports, rises
up in his might to defend the west

McGee says he is miner who has
lived in the mining camps for more
than thirty years, and he resents the
story told by Miss Foley as refec-

picturesque bit OF writing, breezy and
pungent, and it reflects unusual liter
airy ability. Miss Foley was given the
letter to read and her first comment
was:
"Ha! Imagine miner writing a
letter like that"
"The statement" McGee wrote,
that she travelled in rough wagons
any where is challenged, and her
only passenger mates rough and
drunken miners is branded as de-

trre or dime novel effect is the child
of vivid imagination that would do
credit to the Ananias club trying for
