O., just thia side of Reno, and tays several of the passengers received unite a shaking up. Three cars left the track and rolled over aud the one he was in started to roll but when tho passeugers made a rush for the door the car settled liack ou the track and no one was seriously in jured. Dispatches statu that tbe wreck was caused ly tho fulling or a break beam of one cm, which threw it olf the track, w hen others followed The cars that tipped over were all freight curs. Had the caboose went over no doubt several passengers would have been killed. Mr, Kehart will remain -iu Lake view n few weeks, when he will again start out ou another trip. Its good to see Sol on the streets. At ay Return to Paisley. A letter from Chester W. Withers, formerly of Paisley, who went to Port land a few mouths ago for treatment for his wife, we learu that she will soon lie out of thn hospital, and much improved. Mr. Withers does uot state his plana fur the future, but will likely remain in Portland for a while. It ia rumored here that Mr. Withers is interested in thu projected flour mill for Paisley. The fact that ho has purchased from Mr. Currier, a tract of laud lying above Paisley ou the river, which ia an ideal mill sito, tends to substantiate the rumor.

The latett in this line is the notoriety gained by Archie Burrua at Reno a few nights ago when he averted a serious train wreck and saved the lives of many hundreds of people. It is safe to say that l&rchie never thought of uotoriety, but he did the act because he wanted to. Following is what the San Francisco Chronicle says of tbe incident: But for tbe watchfulness of Archie Burrus, assistant yardmaster at tbe local Southern Pacific yards, tbe Overland Limited would have teen wrecked by dynamite early this morn ing at tbe cattle corrals at tbe eastern edge of this city and scores of people would have been iujured it not killed. Tbe dynamite was placed on tbe track by an unknown train wrecker, who ran into tbe cattle yards and disappeared when detected by Burrus in the act of tying the stick to the tracks. Burrus wa about 100 yards from the spot when he saw the man Lend ing over tbe rails. He started to see what was beiug done when tbe wreck er fled. He reached tbe spot in time to take tbe dyuamite stick and giant cap from tbe rails a few minutes be fore tbe Overland psssed. Tonnlngsen-Eaton.
