Charles Jackson, pilot of the

die of the road, remaining there for
a few seconds it quickly darted
through the underbrush. Jackson
was given the scare of his life when
he discovered later that the lion was
following the stage. After trotting
several miles behind the mail coach

Have Narrow Escape

Passengers on the Virginia and
Truckee railroad, south bound, had
a narrow escape from death recent
ly when the air brakes failed to re-
spond just as the train was coming
through the first tunnel above Gold
Hill. The train passed through Gold
Hill at a terrific rate of speed. The
engineer managed to bring the air
brakes into play a few seconds be-
fore arriving at the most dangerous
curve on the road. The engine was
pulling only the caboose at the time
and this is given as the reason for
the train not leaving the rails.
