SN Loborers on Mountain Railroad
Crushed to Death BY q

VANCOUVER, D. c., April 90 = An
other awful fatality, resulting from a
snowslide in the mountains, was reported
here to-day. About eight miles from
Rossland twelve or fourteen laborers on
the Toad Mountain Railroad had finished
dheir pipes and gone to sleep. crowded
together in one tent. Ore of them was
awakened by noise and went outside
just in time to see a huge snow and mud
slide descend and bury the tent and its
occupants.
The engine of work train was on a
sidetraok cooling off. The survivor
jumped on the engine and, heaping on
coal, raced TO Rosslsnd TO summon help.
In an hour force was at work 1t seems
miraculous that any of the eutom bed men
escaped, but only six of the dozen were
beyond assistance. One man was pinned
down under tree uniniured. Another,
who had been sleeping under table, was
saved by the table. The names of the vic
Tins are not yet obtainable.
