Found Playing tho banjo.

special dispatch from Denver, Col,
says: 1.-The anxiety in regard TO the safety
OF Sergeant Ramsey, the United States
Signal-Service officer stationed on the sum-
NIT OF Pixies Peak, has been relieved. A
relief party Of three men scaled the snow
bound peak. Sergeant Ramsey had been
alone on the peak for seven weeks, with
no communication with the outside world.
The heavy storms which had swept the
peak had Frustrated the telegraph and
telephone wires. Several attempts were
made to climb to the summit, but
the snow was so deep as 10 OBJ
liteTate all the trails. and the ascent could
not be made. Some uneasineSS began TO
be felt lest the officers supply OF provis-
ions run short and he perish a miserable
death. As time passed on these fears be-
came changed INTO an almost positive belief
that Ramsey was lost. At first he could
be signalcd with from Colorado Springs.
During the last few days no signal commu-
nicatiOn could be had with him. Neither
could he be seen with a telescope moving
about on the summit, as mad heretofore
been the case. On top OF snow-bound
peak, three miles above the level OF the sea,
his position may be imagined. Last Tues
day Sergeant Hall and Messrs. Widmeyer
and Beckhaus started out for the peak,
with the determination OF getting there.
"They left Manitou at 5:45 Z. NJ. and
reached the summit OF the peak at 8 Z. NJ.
the following night, after having been on
the trail twenty-siX hours. They went rs
far rs Booths on mules, where they left
them and took to snow-shoes. At the time
there was binding snow-storm, which
continued during the entire journey. When
Sergeant Hall last made the attempt TO
reach the summit the snow was from five
to thirty feet deep, and loose. This
time the snow was covered with sheet
of ice. and progress was slow and dam
gerOus. 1t was impossible to follow the
trail, as all landmarks were obliterated and
the tops OF tall trees covered with snow.
The most tiresome and dangerous part OF
the trip was from the timber line to the
peak, distance of three miles, taking
fourteen hours to accomplish this part OF
the journey. They could only proceed
about foot at time. and could only gain
a foothold by breaking a hole in the ice
crust with each step.
Upon reaching the station the relief
party found Mr.. Ramsey sitting by the
stove picking 4 banjo, and apparently as
well contented as ii in parlor. He seemed
not little surprised when informed OF the
alarm and anxiety concerning his welfare,
and said, while the bill of fare was not
very elaborate one. he could have lived on
ii several days longer. MesSrS. Beckbaus
and Widmeyer remained at the station, and
Sergeant Hall and Mr.. Ramsey started
down about . O'Clock yesterday morning.
reaching ManitOu at i. VI. 1t was snow
ing, and so foggy that they could not see
twenty feet; but rs compared TO the ascent
{ he trip was an easy one"
