who are allowed to drift back 10 their old en-

Lost in the Snow.
OAKLAND, CAL, March 4.-Professor
Kellick, Andrew Vekander and Louis Raffe
returned tonight from st. Helena after a
very unusual and exciting experience in
California. They attempted to climb the
mountain Sunday afternoon last, but
owing TO q heavy cloud bank did not see
thai heavy snowstorm was raging on the
summit. When too late they found them
selves in the midst OF the storm.
Kellick has been in the northern lati-
tudes. and that fact probably is the reason
of the party escaping alive after twenty
four hours tramp over the mountain side,
almost famished and weak from hunger.
All Sunday night they stood around a
campfire and waited for day. Monday was
spent in efforts to reach their starting
point, but it was not located until night.
Searching parties were sent out from the
hotel for them, but in the storm they were
missed.
