reached this city from Santiago that
Balmaceda, ex-dictator of Chill, had been
killed in the mountains while trying to
effect his escape. According to the story
Balmaceda left Santiago Saturday night,
before the rioting commenced. He took
his family with him, and carried great

a considerable sum of money, and some
valuable jewels. When he reached a
point a few miles outside of the city he
and his family abandoned the carriage
in which they had been travelling, and
took special train which was in wait
ing to convey them to Los Andes, thirty
two miles northeast of Santiago. Here
Balmaceda left his family, and with a
companion, started to take his way
across the mountains, his ultimate
purpose being to reach Buenos Ayres.
The weather was bitterly cold and the
now on the ground made travelling very
difficult. Balmaceda rode a mule,
which is the only animal that is of any
use in the mountain passes through
which he was making his way. Tues
day morning the muleteers began to
grumble and wanted to turn back, as
the weather was so severe and the snow
so deep that they feared they would lose
their lives. Balmaceda, knowing that
almost certain death awaited him If he
returned, refused to turn back, and in .
fit of passion struck one of the mule
teers, who retaliated by shooting the ex
president dead on the spot. His com
