II was four years ago last winter. I was
coming down with train loaded with cattle.
The weather had been bad for weeks, and the
snow lay deep, but was melting on fast In tho
warm weather that mad lasted nearly n week.
The ground was saturated, and noticed that
things looked shaky on the mountain. was

sloppy. when just rs got around the point Of
this ridge, | looked M, and II seemed TO me that
the whole mountain above me had broken loose.
For hundreds 81 feet wide the hillside was in
motion and charging down on me.
Tue slide started 100 wards above the track. and
was coming night down on the like lightning.

The rocks began to bound Against the cars and
over them. ana the train was hidden In a cloud

now: the wheels seemed never to touch the

rushed past that little point OF land just bac X
