ST.. PAUL, MINI, July Especial to the

Louise, from Skeena, brings news of a
terrible landslide on the banks of the
Skeena river, resulting in the death of one
woman and about 40 Indians. On the 9TH
instant, at 0 q. M, those residing near the
Northern Pacific cannery, at Skeena river,
heard great rushing noise in the direc-
ton of the high, steep mountain at the
back of the cannery.
In moment All avalanche of rocks,
earth and trees were upon the doomed
settlement, carrying everything before 1t

and residence of the foreman of the can

Swedish wife of the foreman. She was

dashed to death hundreds of feet below
Indians claim that among those destroyed
were about 40 Indians of the Port Simpson,
Sitka, Metalakatlah and Kitimat tribes.
Two days after the Slide 10 bodies of the
Indians have been recovered. The body of
the foremans wife has not yet been found
but there is not the slightest hope for
any living within the range of the terrible
slide of boulders, trees and earth. The
slide just missed the cannery building by
about two feet. Had the slide struck the
cannery or occurred half an hour earlier,
the death roll would have reached in the

previous four days, and it is thought that
