The Ice Caves of Mount Adams.
From the Spokane Revietc.

FROM the spokane ReUIetc.
Away up 1000 feet above the Columbia
river, at the base of Mount Adams, whose
symmetrical cone-like peak is covered with
perpetual snow, lies beautiful little lake
surrounded by broad meadows and fed by
a stream of purest water, taking its rise in
the snow fields ten or twelve miles away
The caves are within a few miles of Trout
Lake, for so this mountain gem, like hun
dredS OF Others In this wonderful country of
lakes, is called for the reason that trout
filed basins are so common that the discov-
erer, averse to taxing his brain for an
original name, has seen fit to dub his find
with his first thought. AS yet only six
large caves have been discovered, but as tho
whole country gives forth hollow, rever-
berating sound to the heel-tap of the hob
nailed mountain shoe of the visitor, it is
highly probable there are many more.
One OF these ice caves, the largest one, is
used by the farmers as a cold storage ware
house for butter and milk, and certainly
answers the purpose admirably. The en-
trance IS like unto q cstern, and the
adventurer lowers himself into the chilly
atmosphere by means OF rope. The inte-
rior of the cave is composed of the large
apartment about eighty feet square. The
cave is walled with ice around, above and
below with huge icicles of stalactite and
stalagmite formation, obstructing a COM
plete view, as well as forming obstacles to
exploration, but affording the most gorgeous
pictures in the light OF a flaming pitch
torch.
The effect is simply indescribable, but. at
the same time, most fascinating, especially
when seen on hot August DAY. The huge
pendants of pure translucent ice reflects
and scintillate the rudy glow of the torch
in bewildering maze of color and thous-
and rays Of lighr.
The air is clear, dry cold, even on the
hottest day. There is no dampness or
moisture; the ice is not melting, but is hard
aud cold and dry, as in mid winter A few
moments in the cave aud ones very blood in

men this morning for being drunk and dis
orderly on the streets. Among the number
was brown Speer. This afternoon Officer
Gossett. being off duty, was at home asleep.
About O'Clock Speer, in company with one
of his morning friends, went out Taylor street
to Officer Gossett's home and asked from the
gate TO see him. In his shirt sleeves be
answered their call and. standing on his
porch, asked the men in. Speer said he
would like to speak to him at the gate.
FIGHT FOR LIFE
When Officer GoSsett reached the gate
Speer told him be had come TO kill him, and
opened fire. The first shot missed, the sec
oud lodged in Officer GosSett's left hand
and the third in the hip. Before he could
fire tho fourth Officer Gossett reached over
the fence and caught Speer by the hand
A struggle then ensued, which resulted IN
Officer Gossett disarming his assailant and
fastening his chain and clamp upon his
arm. The officer stopped grocer's express

took his prisoner TO the station house and
locked him up. The arrest is considered
one OF the bravest acts ever performed by
an officer of the force. Officer Gossett is
an efficient man, aud his praise is sounded
on all sides tonight.
