In contradiction of the report is an
other to the effect that General Gomez

went into camp in the Siguanoa noun

bound, left the track west of high

which was sixty feet long, with seven

along the ties. The trestle is fifty
feet high and it is considered phenom-
email that the train was not hurled off
into the creek, in which event the
slaughter of life would have been aw-
full.
The rear car had just left the trestle

car and smoker were ground almost

badly wrecked. There were about

UNDER TONS OF SNOW.
SIX PEOPLE BURIED BY AN
ALASKAN AVALANCHE.
Party Started over Chlikoot Pass Againsf
The Advice OF Oid-TImers
Bodies Recovered.

Seattle. Wash. Dec. 21.-The steamer
Alki, which has arrived from Alaska,
brings meager particulars of an ava
ianche on the Chilkoot pass, in which
at least six people were killed. Five
bodies have been recovered, as follows:
Mrs. Darling OF Lake Linderman and
her two sons, Bert Johns of Jul
neau, Harry Shaw of Skaguay. The
lake, about one mile beyond the sum
init, on the Lake Linderman side.
Mrs. Darling's husband was at Lake
Linderman, and she had arranged to
join him with her two sons, who had
almost reached manhood. Shaw was
a slSaguay man who had business at
the lake. Bert Johns of Juneau was
but Is years OF age, and the reason for
his taking the dangerous trip does not
appear. He was a friend of the OAR
ling boys. The name of the sixth per-
son has not been ascertained.
Contrary to the advice of old timers,
who realized that the trip was a dan
gerous one In view of the recentstorms.
the party set out with light outfits. 1t
was storming hard when they crossed
the summit, but they succeeded in
reaching Crater lake, where the biz
zard forced them to camp, although
it was but seven miles to their destina-
ton.
While encamped there tons of ice
and snow, mixed with rocks and tim
bers, swept over them, evidently with
out warning, and went down on the
valley, leaving them buried under sew
eral feet of hard snow. Their bodies
were found three days later by
searching party. The bodies were not
bruised in thesleast. IA - ~
4 peculiar coincidence is that the
news Of the slide was brought by the
same steamer that brought word of
the terrible slide last spring in which
sixty people persisted. Another coin
cidence is that two slides occurred just !
about the same distance from the sum-
NIT, but on opposite sides.
