The relieving party had very trying ex'

they were by deep drifts and whirl'

needles. Fortunately oil were brave men
who risked fatigue and the dangers oi
the journey to save tho unfortupates bur.
led beneath the drifts Of the avalanche.
They returned without having received
serious harm. Twelve bodies were brought
down the canyon in mournful process
sion, single tile, dashed upon sleds. The
first sled bore the body ol Matte Kicking,
next Timothy Madden, Jere Began, Da-
vid B. Evans. James Watson, Barney Glib:

We have been notified by AIessrs. Graf,

meet the bonds due On the Goth inst,
issued undertheir extension.
After having promptly paid the first
four instaIlments OF their Indebtedness, we
very much regret their inability TO meet
their further engagements as they mature; (;
but the present condition Of the iron trade
seems to make 1t impracticable.
To foreclose the mortgage and sell the
mills under present conditions would be
alike disastrous to debtors and creditors,
aud some Of the larger creditors are in
formally considering the proprfety OF q
further extension oftime. 1t Is probable
that, formal meeting Of creditors gener.
ally will be held within few days, Of
which you will have due notice.

To the Editor of the BEE.
nicola, Iowa, February 19,-I see in
your paper of the 18Th inst. an article
bearing fhe caption of "Justice at Ne.
OLA" The factp, as to the date of the
hearing are concerned are true. But the
idea that Justics Schurz is trying to con-
vey Is absolutely false. | am the justice
bsfors whom his case is pending, and l
know of no reason why Mr.. Schurz or
anyone else would make an assertion
that a "snap judgment" was sought to be
obtained before me. / would say this
that | do not believe that a man who had
any such conviction woulu let a man that
he suspected try a Gaze for him, when he
could change the ivenue-a right that he
has under the law. | am now serving
my second term as Justice of the peace
and there Is no such thing as a snap
judgment allowed before me. l take this
position In those matters that it will not
prejudice any mans case to try 1t on it's
meritr. The reason that Mr. Schurz did
not get a hearing before me on the 18th
inst. was that it was not possible for me
to be at home on that day, and 1 adjourn
ed hearing OF the cause indefinitely on
my own motion and will give Mr.. Schurz
due notice on what day 1t will be heard
as soon ss | decide when l can hear il,
which will, of course, have 10 be within
the statute Limitation. Knowing that 1t
would be a disappointment to Mr..
Schurz, | met him at Weston long be-
fore he reached Nicola, and tod him the
fact of adjournment. He did not seem
very well satisfied with 1t. But l will
give him notice now that l run my court.
