There is only one way to cure deaf

and when it is entirely closed deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in

AoOuI On0 O'CLOCK tuesday after
noon a enousiide occurred in the
Sierra Nevada mountains about two
and one-half miles northwest of
Hamlin's State Line mills and about
five miles from Verd: in which M. s..
Wheeler, Thomas Trasher, Leon Mel
son.. and Mike Manner lost their
lives. The men belonged to Wheeler's
wood camp and occupied two cabins
in canyon through which the great
mass Of snow, rocks and trees swept,
blotting the cabins from the face of
nature and burying the unfortunate
men under the debris. There we're
i've mon in the cabins at the time
the avalanche occurred and one Of
them, Edward EIDE, was found by Joe
Ridocour, a mail carrier, over twenty
six hours afterwards, buried undcr
the snow and debris where the cabin
had stood, Ridonour at once COIN
menced the work OF rescuing the
imprisoned man and soon had him
unearthed. EIDE was found pinned
down beneath snow, wood and dirt.
He could only move one hand and a
spike was driven in the back Of his
neck.
The following is Ede's account of
the disaster:
about l P. NJ. yesterday, Thomas
Thrasher, Leon Nelson, and Mike
Wanner we're lying on the bunk scuf-
fling, I was doing some washing.
Suddenly there was roaring noise.
One Of the boys said, There is a
train; you had better go t. Reno, Ed
l laughed and said, The thunder it
is.' just then 1 stepped to the door
to see what the noise was. and was
knocked senseless. l had no idea of
what had occurred. When I re-
gained consciousness after several
minutes, I felt as if was suffocating.
Being dazed I supposed the boys had
thrown me on my head in q drift, and
begged them to desist as was being
smothered. I called each by Lame
but received no answer. Later I
realized some accident had happened
then thought the roof had caved in,
tried to dig out but was stopped by
numerous boards and logs. Had
nothing to do but wait for something
to happen. To me only ono thing
seemed possible and that was that L
would never be found alive
The body of M. s. Wheeler was
found yesterday afternoon and taken
to Reno for burial. Mr. Wheeler
was Il brother-in-law of Mr.. and Mrs.
DR.. Moore, of Elkc, and leaves a wife
and two children to mourn his sad
death. Relief parties from Reno and
Verdi are searching for the bodies of
the missing men with fair prospects
of finding them.

Deputy Charles Sweeney, who has
charge of the United States deputy
marshals in northern Idaho, came In en-
a freight from the west yesterday after
noon and reports that about 100 Coxey-
ties attempted to capture his train at
Ramsey station, between this place and
Rathdrum. While going up a heavy
grade the speed of the train materially
lessened, so much so that the Coxeyites
had ample time to board her. No sooner
were they on than quite a number
started for the engine. About twenty
deputies who were in the caboose hur-
ried along and soon cleared the train.

BIG LIP is POISONED.
Killing of Wicked Elephant In Central
Park, New York.

Killing OF n wicked Elephant In Central
Park, New York.
The big elephant at Central Park,
New York, called Tip was killed last
week. He had been wicked elephant
all his life and the men of science
wanted to kill him in such a way that
they could examine his organs and de-
termine, If possible, what it was that
made him so wicked. They gave him
a deadly poison which, If properly
taken, would prepare the body for an
interesting autopsy. Tip, however,
did not take it properly. On the con-
trary, he took it in such a wav that he
became very sick. 1t would have been
an easy thing to shoot him and end his
agony, but that would have injured his
skin, and then it would not have been
so nice TO stuff. They waited until his
agony had subsidized 4 little and then
they tried again, and again to
make bin take the poison properly.
For nine hours this lasted, and Tip
grew steadily weaker and weaker.
The action of the poison was not as
would be, but nevertheless they were
pleased to see it was slowly but surely
taking effect. The nine hours dragged
along and Tip, dazed with a sensation
that no elephant ever experienced be-
fore, felt his life slowly slipping away.
They gave him carrots, apples and pea
nuts, and at last they gave him bran,
his favorite nourishment, and, being
hungry, he swallowed it, and for the
frst time took the poison in the right
way.
his mighty frame. He staggered
toward the farther end of his cage to
get away from the men who had been
feeding him. The chain upon his leg
tripped him and he fell upon his side,
The poison, now supreme, convulsed
his very muscles. His great legs, which
at that moment no hundred men could
have controlled, were extended, stiff In
pain. For few minutes he lay motion
less. Then his trunk, that delibats
organ with It's thousand muscles, slowly
uncurled, two loud trumpet blasts re
sounded through the building, and with

was dead.
The poison was given to Tip unde

Bound for a state Prison.

BOISE, May ia special from Green
River, Wyo., says: One hundred and
forty-seven Coxeyites, guarded by Com
panies e aud Il of the Seventeenth in
fantry, a detachment of Company G,
Fourth infantry, and posse of deputies
of Marshals Rankin of Wyoming and
Pinkham of Idaho, left here yesterday
afternoon at 1870. The Coxeyites are
bound for Boise, where they will be
placed in the penitentiary until Judge
Beatty returns from Moscow. The
outfit is due in Boise today at l l o'clock.
On the train is General Shelter, who
was brought from Cheyenne yesterday
morning. The general takes decidedly
gloomy view of the situation, the pros
poets of penitentiary term being won
derfully distasteful to his refined nature.
His proud spirits are broken.
Judge Riner arrived at Green River
yesterday morning. After examining
into the case of the Montpelier train
stealing he ordered Marshal Rankin of
Wyoming to turn all the 'wealers over
to Pinkham. The Coxeyites were all
searched. On them were found several
six shooters, butcher kines, razors and
other cutlery. They were then huddled
into coaches, all the windows of which
were nailed down, and started for Boise.
A detachment of Company G will meet
the balance of their company at Poca-
tello and the entire company will pro-
coed to Boise, leaving one company of
the Seventeenth at Gate City.

"Upon the application of the receiv-

freight train upon said railroad points
between the town of Sprague and the
Idaho line or at said town a sufficient
number of discreet deputy marshals to
prevent members of the so-c5lled indus
trial army from obtluding upon said
train or trains, and said deputies are
hereby instructed to first inform each
individual member of said army who

tempts to ride thereon, and said marshal,
deputy or deputies will further inform
such member or members that the
Northern Pacific Railroad company and
its railroad and properties Is in the Gus
tody of the United States court, and
further that any dlsobedience of this
order will render the offender amenable
to punishment for contempt of court,

formation take the name of the person
or persons so offending and afterward
arrest by virtue of this order each per
son who after being so informed within
