From the Idaho Statesmsu.l
William James Hicks and his
brother John BriscO Hicks, left Rocky
Bar Oo the morning of the Sth inst,
with the mail for Atlanta City. 1t
was one Of the most stormy days ever
known in these mountains. They
left this place at the hour of nine
O'Clock in the forenoon, and had pro-
gressed very favOrably on their jour
ney some nine or ten miles, having
passed the summit and just come upon
the grade Of Ball Mountain, when all
of sudden they looked up, and just
above them was a snOW-slide coming
with the velocity of lightning. jim
my Hicks was in advance and had
Just a few seconds before looked at his
watch and noticed the time, which
was four o'clock. As Jimmy saw his
impending doom, he turned his show
shoes down the hill, eXclaiming, ooh,
God! Oh, Bris!" This was the last
ever seen of poor Jimmy-alive.
They were carried down the noun
tain nearly a quarter of a mile, into
what is known as Black Warrior, +"
the younger brother, BriscO, being
carried up to one side of the gulch,
while Jimmy was taken down its
center over a deep declivity of rocks.
1t is almost q Iniricle how BriscO
Hicks dug himself out of some ten or
twelve feet Of snow, and that, too, IN
the midst of a pitiless storm which
was raging furiOu-ly at the time, and
travelled all night without snOW-shOes
in snow up to the armpits, with no
food and not even pair Of gloves, one
Of the coolest nights of the season.
Nothing but thoughts of his dead
brother, his home, his mother, his
dear little sister, could keep that boy
alive. He arrived home Friday
morning atabOut eight o'clock, nearly
frozen-bOth feet badly froZen-and
proclaimed the unwelcOme news to Il
frantic and heart-brOken mother, who
nearly became crazed over the sad
event, In a few hours the good peo-
pie of Rocky Bar had turned out
nearly en- masse to do all that kind
hearts and willing hands could to find
the missing one, which was done
about noon Of Saturday, and his
remains brought TO this place that
night.
