RIDING Down A MOUNTAIN on AN AVA
Hodgson, OF Holland,
Mich, was last week killed by snow-siide
near Laramie, Wyoming. The deceased
and two partners had been working to-
gether, prospecting and sinking shaits,
since last spring. They were engaged In
sinking on a lode about half mile south
Of the :" Centennial when the accident ac-
Cured. 1t was about 2 O'Clock in the after,
noon. They put in and fired blast, and
stepped back few feet from the mouth OF
the shaft, and when the blast exploded the
snow on the mountain side beneath tneir
feet started, carrying all three down with
fearful velocity. They went down about TWO
or three hundred feet, when the avalanche
struck the timber and piled up and stopped.
Davis, one OF the partners, brought
up against a smalI tree, and was partly
buried by the snow, but was able to eXtri-
cate himself. Captain Kelly, the other
partner, was unharmed. and immediately
ran over to the Centennial mine for help,
with which he returned in twenty or thirty
minutes; but Davis, by mere accident, had
found and extricated the body OF Hodgson
before the help arrived. Life was extinct
when the body was found, and, from the
bruises, it was thought that his neck was
broken, and that he was killed by striking
against n rock or tree in the descent. The
body was wrapped up in blankets and
buried in the snow till arrangements can
be made for its final disposition. The Lar
annie Sentinel says Hodgson was single
man, about forty-three Gears OF age, and
member OF the Masonic order.-Denoer
