veille reporter that George Schmidtlein
Jesse Daniels, and several others went
to the scene of the disaster Thursday
morning and had been successful in
rescuing the bodies of the five unfort-
innate ones, who were buried in the
ruins of the cabin. There bodies were
horribly mangled and could scarcely
be recognized. The rock wall of the
cabin was over three feet thick and
the rafters and dirt, which composed
the roof were on top of the inmates.
The oldest children were found ly-
ing on the floor together and Graves,
the squaw and youngest child on the
bed. The mother held the baby clasp
ed tightly in her arms as though she
would shield it from the danger, which
no doubt, they knew they were in,
when the slide first began to move
down the mountain, which awoke them
as they were in bed and had off their
outer garments.
The little child's body was pressed
into the mother by the terrible weight
on them, and the mutilated condition
of the bodies was horrible to behold.
Death was instantaneous beyond a
doubt The victims heard rumb-
ling noise and then all was over.
