WONDERFUL STORY.
FrightfuI Experience of Several Prospec-
tors in the Rockies.

tors In the Rockies.
OTTAWA, Ont, Nov. 30. - Albert Mon
son, who has reached Kootenay, b. O.,
from Montana, tells a wonderful story.
1.-TWO prospectors," he says, "Phil Barnes
and Pierre Leger, an Indian guide named
Klikat, and myself left Bonner's Ferry on
August Z, and struck out In northeaster-
ly direction, heading for the peaks and
canyons in the extreme northern range OF
the main divide of the Rockies. On the
28th Of August we were within 25 or 30
miles of the Canadian line and at an aiti-
tude of 1000 feet, our ears were filled with
Q sound like the roaring Of a waterfall,
which the Indian said came from Big
Hole in the Water
"He piloted US to the edge of preci-
pice, and, looking over, we saw straight
down below US q deep pool or lake about
a quarter OF an acre In area, and inclosed
on three sides by high walls of rocks, thus
forming perpetual and insurmountable
barrier to the passage OF the water beyond
this spot.
SIN the very center Of the deep water
was large, circular cavity or depression,
funnel-shaped- great suck hole In
fact-fully eight feet across at the surface.
The water was spinning round and round,
rushing dOWnWaru Win llgntTblng bpeeu.
While we were gazing at this wonderful
phenomenon q mass OF shelving rock right
under Klikat broke loose, and he fell with
fearful cry, into the edge Of the whirl-
ing pool.
HAfter few seconds he came to the sur
face. Barnes rushed to one OF the pack
mules for q rope, but IL was too late. With
a movement that looked like q sudden
twist he shot into the very centre Of the
vortex. For one brief moment he spun
around like top, and then down he went
with the pillar OF foam out Of sight into
the bowels OF the earth and the darkness
OF death.
ave at last reached the south shore OF
Lake Kootenay. Just before sundown we
discovered Q ghastly object lying in the
water within six feet Of land. IL was the
corpse of man, which proved to be Xii
kat, who had fallen into the funnel OF
that awful subterransan river fully 1000
miles away, far mp In the Rockies or
Northern Montana, and yet there was his
corpse, that had drifted ashore on this
lake, between which and the "Big Hole In
| the Water there is not the slightest con-
nection. so far as the mortal eyes oan see."

times. and PLACED his body across the track
for train TO run over.
The coroner's jury investigated the case
and declared that Higgins had been mur-

A sensational story in connection with
Higgins death, and one thSt may probably
lead to the detection of the murdeFers is told
by B. & o. trainmen. Il IS said that the
murdered engineer had a quarrel with
brakeman one evening about the holidays,
and in the heat Of passion declared that he
would kill the brakeman before their train
reached Connellsyiile. In less than an hour
Afterwards the brakeman fell from the top
Of a car near Books tunnel and was killed.

His explanation was not received in good
part and he was warned to quit running an
