A PERILoUs POSITION.
The Marrow Escape OF Mountain Climbs
from . Terrible Death.


A traveller in China tells, in the Fort
nightly Review, how he assembled tho
sacred mountain, Siao-outai-shan, and
how he made the descent also, at mo-
ment when he least expected it. He
had reached an altitude of over nine
thousand feet, and having lost the trail
branched off and climbed lower peak,
to see If he could discover the right
track. He managed to crawl TO the
top and there opened his paint box to
make sketch. He says:
As was sorting out my brushes the
stone on which was sitting gave way
and started sliding down the almost
perpendicular slope. I tried to clutch
the ground with my nails. 1 seized
every projecting stone, in the hope of
stopping my precipitous descent, but
at the speed at which L was going it
was no easy matter 20 hold on to any,
thing which managed to clutch.
There L had death staring me in the
face, for another hundred yards would
bring me to the edge of a precipice,
over which must inevitably go, taking
q leap ofiseveral hundred feet. NY hair
stood on end as 1 approached the,
dreaded spot. and well remember the
ghastly sound of my heavy paintbox,
which had preceded me IN my descent.
3 shall never forget the hollow sound,
of it, banging from bowlder to bowlder,
echoed and magnified a thousand times,
from one mountain TO another. Then
there was a Anal bang far, far below
the echo weakly repeated it, and all was
silence once more. Another half min.
ute, and the echo would repeat a hol-,
lower sound still shut my eyes.
A violent shock, which nearly tore
my body in two, made me think I had
gone over; but no, as luck would have
il, had suddenly stopped
/ opened my eyes, but l did not dare
move, for my position, though much
improved, was far from being safe. Ny
coat and a long leather strap, slung
under my arm, had Just caught on a
projecting stone; but a single false
movement on my part might still place
me in great danger.
Slowly. as my back was slightly rest
ing ON the almost perpendicular slope,
tried to get footing; when this was
done. the great difficulty was to turn
round. After several anxious minutes.
which seemed ages long, the feat was
accomplished, and there stood, half
lying, with my body on the ground,
clutching the rock that had saved my
life 4
Then, when my commotion had en-
tirely passed away, 1 managed 10 crawl
up, in cat-like fashion, 20 position
Of safety.

WELL KNOWN OKLAHOMAN.

pose of Which Will be to Preserve
and Perpetuate the Fast Decaying In
dian Religions--Has Revelation and is
Commanded to Do It--Church VIII
Have Place for Ghost Dances--Wiu
Build a Miniature Mountain of Palms,

Guthrie, 0. T, April 27.-It is an
nounced that Colonel A j. Blackwell,
the Cherokee Indian who built a num-
Der of towns in Kansas and the Indian
Territory, and who recently came into
notoriety from the fact that he was
charged with treason by the Cherokee
Indians, has another gigantic scheme
on hand which, if it is carried out, will
be quite novel.
This is the construction of a man.
moth temple at David, o. T, after the
fashion of the Norman edifice at Salt
Lake City. This temple, it is said, is TO
be built partly by donation from Col
onel Blackwell, who is very rich, and
contributions from the various Indian
tribes. Its object will be the perpe-
tuation of the Indian religions. These
Indian religions are fast falling into
diSuse except among the very old In
dams and * is reported 10 be Colonel
Blackwells purpose TO rear a temple 10
which Indians of all tribes can come TO
perform their various sacred dances
and devotions.
At Blackwell some time since Colonel
Blackwell, who founded that town,
built church which he called THE
House of Cod" which was open to all
denominations.
The plans for the new temple for the
Indians are said to have been drawn
and will furnish something very novel
in church architecture. The temple
will be constructed of stone and granite
The building will consist of one main
Gothic hall lighted through glass STAIN
ed the color of Indian maize. At one
one of the hall large conservatory will
be built in the form of a miniature
mountain, on which palms and flowers
will be kept growing perrenially as a
symbol of the Indians love of nature.
In the opposite end of the hall or main
apartment of the temple a depression
in the floor will be built which will be
made circular in formed and paved
with cement. This pit will be used for
the performance of the corn, ghost and
other dances. There will be no pews or
seats in the church the whole being
unobstructed. None but Indians will
be admitted within the edifice after liz
is constructed. This will not exclude
the half-breedS and Squawmen how
ever
Colonel Blackwell, the originator of
this idea, claims he was commanded to
build 1t in vision. He asserts that he
is a chosen representative of the Great
Spirit on earth. Recently while Colonel
blackwell was imprisoned by the Che
rokeeS at Claremore, he declares that
an angel came in the night and unlock
ed the chains with which he was bound.
It is known that the guards did find
the chains off their prisoner in the
morning and could not discover how
the handouts were unlocked.
The fullbolod Indians of the territory
will probably gladly contribute to the
building of the temple, but the half
breeds will laugh at the idea and have
nothing to do with it
