WHITE CLIFFS, Tuesday.

Frank Ollerhead met with a serious mishap while conveying two casks of beer in a spring cart from teams loaded for the Workingman's Club. Ollerhead had gone to meet the teams coming from Broken Hill, and he put the two casks in his cart, starting back for White Cliffs at night. The cart capsized on the journey in a steep gutter and one of the casks fell on Ollerhead, breaking his shoulder and bruising him badly generally. Being alone, three miles from assistance, Ollerhead had to walk in great pain to Bambriek's farm, which he reached with difficulty in an exhausted condition about 3 o'clock in the morning. He aroused Mr. Bambriek, who brought him to the Cliffs for treatment.
