CRUSHED BY SNOW.
An Overweighted Shed Falls
With Fatal Result.
Three Persons Instantly Killed and
Seven Injured.

A shocking disaster, by which three per-
sons lost their lives and seven others were
badly wounded occurred about seven o'clock
the other evening in Gardnerville, a small
country hamlet in the Waikiki Valby,
ten miles south of Middletown, n.
Y, At that hour twelve persons re-
siding in the vicinity were congregated
in the country store kept there by John
Everett. Adjoining the storehouse stood a
40-year-old and somewhat dilapidated horse
shed and wagon house, heavily laden with
the snow that had been falling on it all
day yesterday. The parties in the store
heard the shed creaking and snap
ping under the superimposed burden,
and eleven of them, led by Mr.. Everett, went
into the building and set to work propping
up the roof with some timbers at hand.
They had barely begun the work when the
heavy-timbered, old fashioned roof, with all
its weight of snow, fell down upon them with
a sudden crash, and ten of the eleven were
caught under the wreck
The following men were instantly killed:
David Kelly, blacksmith, leaves widow and
two children; John J. Tuthill laborer, leaves
widow and seven children; William Wright,
laborer, leaves widow.
The following were wounded John
Everett, merchant, left leg broken, danger
GUS internal njurieS; Edward Decker, right
leg broken, shoulders and spine severely
damned and bruised; George Shoemaker,
severely hurt internally; Hiram 7. Manning,
bruised about shoulders, arms and head;
Louis Stillwell, George Kernick and William
House all suffered painful contuSiOnS and
lacerated wounds
The escape of the eleventh person of the
party, a 17-year-old lad named Adelbert
Decker, most wonderful. When the
crash came he was standing, with a lantern
in his hand, just at the entrance Of the shed.
The falling timbers smashed the lantern,
leaving him uninjured and with the ring by
which he held it still in his grasp.
1t was two hours before the neighbors who
hurried to the scene succeeded in getting the
last victim out from under the wrecked
building. The three dead men had been
crushed to death almost instantly, and the
bodies were considerably mutilated. The
disaster carries sorrow and mourning into
almost every family in the hamlet.

HOUSEHOLD APFAIRA


Mrs. Emma p. Ewing, of the school
OF domestic economy at the Iowa Agri-
cultural College, says:
In roasting meats of all kinds the
method adopted should be the one that IN
the most perfect manner preserves the
juices inside the meat. To roast beef
in the best possible manner. place
the clean-cut side of the inca: upon
a smoking hot pan. which must be
over quick fire. Press it close to the
pan until scared and slightly Drowned
Reverse and let the opposite side become
similarly scared and brown. Then put
it al once in the oven, the heat of which
should be firm and steady. but not too
intense, and leave il undisturbed until
cooked. The time that should be al
lowed for cooking beef in this manner ia
twenty minutes 10 the pound, If il Is to
be rare, less half an hour deducted from
the aggregate time on account of soaring.
In other words, IA five pound roast of
beef will require an hour and a quarter,
q six-pound roast an hour and half, and
so on.
If the oven is not too hot the beef re-
quires No basting and is better without
1t. When the oven is at the proper
temperature and the cooking is going on
all right, the meat will keep up IA gentle
sputtering in the pan. II. upon opening
the oven door, this suffering is not
perceptible, more heat Is required. But
if in addition to the sputtcriug any
smoke is disoernible in the oven. the
heat is too intense and should lie lessened.
Unless the heat of the oven is too great,
the drippings in the pan will not burn
and smoke, and when the meat is cooked
there will be thin coating of brown
jelly in, the pan where the meat rested.
which by the addition of stock or water
will make a delicious gravy.
A roast of beef should never be washed
and if it has accidentally been wet or
moistened, it should be carefully wiped
dry before 1t is scared or put to cook.
Soaring almost instantly coats the cut
side of piere of meat. and prevents the
escape of juices in the after process, Of
roasting, while a firm, steady heat gently
but thoroughly cooks it, and thus both
juices and flavor are preserved. Basting
is a troublesome as we'll as damaging
process. And as salt and water have
tendency to tougher and extract the
juices of meat they should not be used
on it while roasting, if it is desired to
have the meat sweet, juicy and tender.

Western Alturas.

E. J. Cody, Mayor and part owner
of the townsite of Glenn's Ferry,
was guest of Mr.. Mcmahon dur
ing the week. Mr.. Cody halls from
that portion Of Alturas county
whose people are inclined to favor
secession ordinance, otherwise a
new county. He is not SO very
enthusiastic about county division
as he is upon the subject of equita-
BILE appropriations by the county
commissioners for the purpose of
opening and constructing roads
which are absolutely necessary in
his part of the county. He claims
that nearly one-half of the appor-
tionment made last year was ex-
pended on local districts within a
radius of less than forty miles from
the towns on the River, while they
in the west were virtually left out
in the cold. He also claims that a
road from Glenn's Ferry to the
Camas prairie country, a distance
of twenty-eight miles, could be con-
structed at a moderate expense,
which would give the people of
Camas unobstructed communica-
ton with the railroad at all seasons
of the year, while the thoroughflres
leading from the Camas settlements
to either Haley or Bellevue would
be so blockaded with snow as to
make them impracticable during
the winter months. Mr.. Cody says
that all the people in the west de-
sire is an impartial recognition of
their rights, and when that is grant
ed them they will be content with
old Alturas as it is.

An Old Pacific Coaster Dead.

Col. D. E. Buel died recently at
St. Louis, it is said in extreme pow
erty. Col. Buel was a noted figure
upon the Pacific coast, as we'll as
a pioneer mining man in the State
of Nevada. It was through him
that the thriving towns of Austin,
Belmont and Eureka received their
first substantial start. He possessed
untiring energy and unlimited en-
terprise, and when in the prime of
life he never failed to impress him
self on any community in which he
lived, and his name to-day is ia
miliar household word throughout
every mining camp in the country
far and near. While he had his
faults, he hadlmany noble traits, and
there are not a few Of old miners and
prospectors now living in Idaho
who will receive with sad hearts
the news of the death of Dave Buel.
Many who are now living were ben
Gifted time and again by his pres
ence, and now it is a sad reflection
indeed to think that his last days
instead of being blessed with con-
tent and happiness-should have
been so miserable.

Wolverines.

Frank Williams, who has been
stopping at Sifers' saw mill, on
Corral creek, during the winter,
came into town last Tuesday, bring
ing with him live wolverine. 1t
is a large specimen, and apparently
very savage. Quite a number OF
these animals have been taken alive
lately. A fine one was brought to
bay few days ago at Galena, and
three or four days ago another one
was taken into camp by Doc Pitts
on Warm Springs creek. This
would have made quite an addition
to the family. But alas for the
poor animal "misfortunes never
come singly," and the chain by
which he was held prisoner caused
his death by strangulation. The
mishap is to be regretted, as fam
lily OF the animals with many aliases
would no doubt be quite an acqui-
sition to the Smithsonian Institute
ut Washington.

The Bonanza Country.

The present indications, are that
thisrich mining district will be the
scene Of unusual activity during
the coming season. The extensive
operations which will be set in mo-
ton by the Dickens-Custer Com
pany, Limited, as soon as the snow
shall have disappeared; the addi-
tional exertions that will be made by
Morrison Il Pearsons in the working
of their rich mining claims on Jor-
dan creek-which proved so re-
munerative in the first operation
of their mill last season-together
with other mining enterprises that
will be likely to start up, all be-
token vigorous campaign and a
successful seasons operations.
These operations will Of course in
crease the amount of freighting
supplies and machinery to be done
from Ketchum, it being the natural
outlet and nearest point to the
railroad. The Ketchum and Sheep
mountain road will run to a point
within sixteen or eighteen miles of
Bonanza, thus adding another feas-
able route to and from the district
besides the Ketchum and Challis
