DREADFUL ACCIDENT. The Territorial En-,
terprisc has the following: A horrible accident
occurred yesterday afternoon, at 2:45 o'clock,
at Steamboat Springs WashoG, county, which
| will probably result in the death OF q. w. Cul-
len, proprietor Of the hotel and Springs Mr..
Cullen was engaged in erecting new bath
house over large pool OF boiling water, for use
in giving steam baths TimbcrS for the founda-
ton of the structure had been laid across the
boiling pool, which is four or five feet in depth,
| and MIR. Cullen had walked out on one OF these
for the purpose Of arranging Il cross timber,
when he slipped and fell into the scalding water.
The water was SO deep that it reached nearly to
his breast bone, and is so hot that an egg is
cooked in it in two minutes. When he fell he
was either so much frightened or felt such pain
that for time he seemed in a manner par
alyzcd, and did hardly anything toward getting
out. It. is said that he was In the spring fully
halt minute before he got out, which he at
last did through his own cXertlons and the
| help of man who came to his assistance. He
was taken to the hotel and stripped, when the
greater part Of the skin slipped off his body
from near the breast bone downward. Gentle
men who happened to be visiting at the Springs,
did all that could be done for the suffering
man pending the arrival of a physician. They
got large quantity Of flour and packed him in
it, aud kept him in this condition till the doc
tor arrived. DIR. Green says the man may be
said to be literally cooked alive As to whether
he will live or not lie cannot say, but appears to
think his recovery would be little short of "a
miricle. Cullen was in such agony that the
doctor was obliged to give him very heavy
doses of opium to keep him at all quiet st.
