Sixty-nine dead bodies have thus far

Thus far work has been confied to the
outskirts of the slide in the hope of res
cuing those who are injured but not yet

which is estimated TO be fifty feet dceI
and 100 yards long. has not yet been

Gated in the snow. As soon as G.

that some warning Of the impending dis.
