Word was received in this city last
evening, taYs this m9rning's Ogden

hurled In snow Glide In Durst's can
yon, u branch OF Cottonwood canyon
about nine miles from Peterson, Nor.
gan county, and twenty eight miles
from this city. The men upuer the
snow are George Williams and Jesse

going along the mountain siue from
the Van Patten mine to the Cotton
wood mill when the snow bank be-
gan TO move and soon both men were
being carried down the mountain by
the avalanche OF snow.
The first intimation OF the disaster
was II message sent to William Pierce,

tSigned) a. VAN PATTRN.
Nit. Pierce learned that u party Of
rescuers hal left Uintah for the scene
OF the ACCIDENT and he sent a man
from here TO aid IN the work OF rescue.
News OF the accident was brought to
Uintah to Mr.. Van Pstten by one OF
the woikmen at the mine who rode
with bteskneck speed to ncquaiut the
father Of the fatal accident that had
overtaken his son. In the meantime
the olher emp Dyes OF the mine
worked like demons to clear away the
debris and Rescue the men before lie
was extinct. Young Van Patten was
well known in this city, while George
Williams is as familiar as the Oldest
! habitant. He was working at the
Van Patten mine for his board.
Every effort was made during the
evening to reach the men under the
snow, but up 10 2 q. m. no word had
baen received that they were alive. 1t
Ia probable that the bodies have bsen
recovered, but 1t coulL not be learned
whether the men were alive or dead.
