Greater Than This, is About to Descend
Into the Valley.
SIERRA CITY, Cal, Jan. 6.-An enor-
nous quantity Of snow suddenly thun-
dered down the mountain side here Fri
day, bearing everything before it, and
causing the deathof at least seven per-
sons. For a day or two past fears had
been entertained that a huge mass Of
snow, which had accumulated at what
is known as Butts fiume, might give
way, should a further fall take place.
The weather had, however, remained
clear, and people We're slowly becoming
treasured.
Had No Time TO Escape
Just before noon Friday, however, the
citizens suddenly heard a subdued rush
ing sound as if Of strong wind among
trees. On looking up toward Butts
fume they saw their danger, and every
body took to flight. Those in the i'm
mediate track of the landslide, however,
had not sufficient time to make their es-
cape, and of these seven were over
whelmed.
The Victims.
The victims are as follows:
Mrs. Rich, with her little son and
daughter.
Miss RYAN. of DOwnieville.
Mrs. J. 7. Mooney and daughter.
Miss Ethel LangtOn.
The Enormous Force.
The force of the snOwslide was so
great that big trees in its path were
snapped like twigs. Four houses were
crushed fiat and the Catholic church was
also reduced to ruins.
Death List May Be Increased.
Besides those whose names are
given several were caught by the land
slide1and one Chinaman and a little girl
are still buried. 1t is not known whether
they are dead. Several others were in
jured. Two of the victims were alive
when dug out of the snow, but died
very soon.
Fears of Another Avalanche.
1t is feared that another tremendous
bank of snow near Butts Aume may
give way. Should it do SO still greater
disaster is certain to ensue.
