Another Colorado Avalanehe.

Between II and II o'clock on Tues
day night, Jan. 9th, the buildings of
the Champion mining company, at the
head of Snake river, Colorado, were de-
stroyed by an avalanche. The superin-
tendent, Mr.. Lindgreen, and three 9TH
er men were in one of the houses
When the avalanche came down it took
the front or lower edge of the house,
and crushed it, taking the roof partly
off, and at once filing the house.
French Pete in a lower bunk, was
crushed to death instantly. Profit and
Ruebard being in the back part of the
room, next to the ledge, were covered
so slightly that they quickly got out.
AS Mr.. Lindgreen did not make his ap-
pearance, one of them called him by
name, which he heard, although four
feet under the snow. His reply sound
ed as though he was half mile OFF, but
they went to work and soon had his
head uncovered, and then pulled him
out of his bunk with great difficulty.
The danger was so great that the body
of the dead man was left in his bunk,
it being quite unsafe to attempt taking
him down.

A Frontier Character.

sold Jim Baker," as he is familiarly
called throughout the west, is charac-
ter, and is as gnarled and griszled as
one of the many old pines that have
graced the mountain peaks-well, for
centuries. He dresses in buckskin from
top to toe, which he colors a reddish
brown by some art known only to those
mountaineers. It does not have the
dirty, washed-out appearance that
many buckskin suits present, but looks
the fit apparel for this veteran hunter.
His rifle, which is his warmest friend
and inseparable companion, is a curios-
ity. 1t is mosaic of patchwork, scar
red from muzzle to breech, and has,
without doubt, had a more intimate ac-
quaintance with grizzlies, cinnamons
and Indians than anything else bearing
the name of gun. He rode when last
seen-for his acquaintance with white
men is rather imited-an iron-gray of
fine proportions, which he has had for
number of years. 1t would be worse
punishment for him to be compelled to
live in civilized country than the
State prison for most men. His home
is the mountains, and his companions
Indians and wild animals. Here he has
spent the greatest part of his life, and
here his remains will probably rest
when his hunting days are over-a lone
ly grave on the still more lonely plain,
with perhaps rude stone to. mark his
resting place, and his name and fame
will probably pass from the minds of
all save those who have known him

THE OREGON ELECTION.
PeHon Still on the Stand.

Washington, Jan. 16.-W. 7. Pelton
was before the Senate committee, to-
day. Witness said to the cashier of the
Third national bank, that he had told
Jordan it was desired that a certain
gentleman in Oregon should have a
credit of $4,000, as it seemed that liti-
cation would arise from the ineligibil-
ity of Watts in Oregon, and Bellinger,
chairman of the Oregon Democratic
committee had suggested the necessity
of having money to defray these legal
expenses. When witness spoke to Scott,
member of the national committee, on
December 9Th, about $4,000, nothing
was said about security. Patrick went
to Oregon in November or December
last. He had mining interests in Salt
Lake, and went to look after them. He
does not know that Diamond paid Gro
min 1900 and Patrick 81 200; supposes
Jordan understood that witness did not
want the $1,000 transaction made pub
lie; not dollar was sent to any state
except for strictly legitimate purposes.
The Democratic national committee
has not betrayed the expenses of part
of the gentlemen who visited some of
the southern states after the election;
did not know that $1,000 was used in
Oregon on the check drawn payable to
Diamond in favor of Ladd 81 Bush;
don't remember receiving an unsigned
dispatch from Oregon, in December
last, saying it was necessary that SS, 900
be sent to that State; the Democratic
committee had correspondence with ex-
senator Casserly, who was requested to
go to Oregon, but he could not go.
Here Senator Morton stated that he
was obliged to leave, and desired Pelton
to be present tomorrow, when he will
be examined farther. s ~ q
