Cross 0mp!ai:s.

For pure, unadulterated apathy under
trying circumstances that shown by
Edward Erickson in Judge Clancy's
court today was far ahead of any that
has ever been displayed by a Montana
man with a criminal charge staring him
in the face. Erickson was being tried
Tor alleged assault in the second degree
on Mike C~avanaugh because Cavanaugh
refused to give him rs cents, and al
though the testimony against him was
the most damaging that could have been
adduced he slept in a chair while it was
being brought out. After the state had
nnlshed it's side, z. T.. Cason, the defend
ants attorney, said he had no defense to
offer, as the prisoner was in no condition
to be placed on the stand. Shortly after
wards Erickson opened his eyes and
looked about him in a wild sort of a way,
out IN a minute or two again lapsed into
peaceful slumber and slept until the case
was placed in the hands of the jury.
Inc testimony n the case showed that

While thus engaged Erickson accosted
Cavanaugh with a demand for % cents.
C~avanaueh refused to produce and
Erickson applied to him several vile
eplthets. Not caring to listen to the
abuse the three men moved east on Park
street and Erickson followed them. After
they had walked a few yards Erickson

the principals in a fight which occurred
on East Park street late last night, dur
ing the progress of which Guitchins drew

mont county, Idaho, was frozen to
death at Warm Springs recently. In
company with Harvey Bowers and Ben
Andrews he went hunting, but separat
ed from the other two. He did not
return to camp in the evening and the
others fired their guns for the purpose
of guiding him. The next morning his
body, within few yards of the camp,
was found. He had plunged through
the darkness in the direction of the
shots, but fell exhausted within hailing
distance of his comrades.
The storm all over the state is I'M
precedented. 1t is reported that over
10000 sheep are snowbound in the foot
hills in various counties and there is lit
tie hope of getting them out. The mer-
curry ranges from about zero at points
in the Boise belt to 65 and 70 below zero
in the mountains. notably at Florence,
which is threatened with a famine. At
some points on the Oregon Short Line
trains are delayed by snow and else
where by floods, caused by the chinook
winds. Three miles of track near Pay
cite has been flooded and partially
washed out. Passengers and mail are
being transferred for that distance.
A more severe cold wave Is forecasted
by the weather officials and, coming
on the heels of the prevailing wave, it
will result in almost inestimable loss

Denver, Feb. IA special to the Re
Two mighty avalanches, combining
into one, swept down Cherokee gulch
at o'clock this morning, carrying away
dozen or more mine buildings, cabins
and machinery and causing great loss
of life and damage to mine property.
How many dead bodies lie in this great
mass of snow and debris will not be
known before spring. Eight dead bodies
are now at the morgue, two more per-
sons are known to be lost ana three
have been taken out alive The rescu-
ing party has only penetrated about Is
age piled up at the foot of the gulch
to the depth of rs feet. The dead are
as follows:
DOMINICK DESTEFANO, his wife
and two children; boy, aged 5, and
girl, aged 2.

Injured: Tony Nigretto, arm broken,
otherwise injured; Joseph Cocono, head
and body bruised; Tony Malino, leg
broken.
The worst has not yet occurred. Only
about third of the enormous drift piled
up on the mountain broke away. A
drift about 1900 feet in height still
clings to the mountain side and should
it become loosened the upper end of the
town is in danger Of destruction. The
slide to-day started in what is known as
Carry City gulch 1t swept over the
Pelican tunnel house, carrying away
the mine dumps and buildings and fill
ing the entire valley
AS this slide reached the main gulch
the snow in Swallow Hen gulch, on the
opposite mountain, broke away and
rushed down to Cherokee gulch. Here
the two avalanches met and continued
their course toward the town. Just back
of Silver Plume in the main gulch was
a settlement of Italian miners. Their
cabins We're directly in the path of de-
struction and We're crushed like egg
shells. Trees were torn up by the roots
and gigantic boulders carried away like
pebbles. A turn in the gulch just as it
opens on the town checked the slide
and it now stands threatening destruc-
ton to at last a portion of this camp,
should the remainder of the snow On
the mountain side start to fall. Every
available man from Silver Plume and
Georgetown are now digging for the
bodies Of the missing.

Special Dispatc tch to the Standard
Great FALL, Feb. 12.-On the additional
list of the wounded at Caloocan received
here to-day are the names of Clarence G.
Briggs and George W. Boardman. In
the first list Briggs was enormously
credited to company Fl, but he is a mem
ber of company A. which went from this
city. He has lived in town and the vi
cinity since childhood and his parents and
one brother are still here. He is quite
well known here, particularly among the
railway men, as he was a fireman on
switch engine in the Montana Central
yard before he enlisted.
Boardman is a son of Mr.. and %Irs.
Frank Boardman of this city, and has re-
sided here for the past 10 years His
brother Clarence is second lieutenant of
company A, and another brother, Claude,
is an actor in burlesque company trav-
cling through the Eastern states. The
latter was also one of the pioneer printers
OF this city. Boardman IS serving his
tifth year as a member of the National
guard.
While the relatives of the wounded men
in company A are naturally somewhat
anxious for the sufferers, they still find
comfort in the knowledge that it has
been the custom Of General Otis in MAX
ing up his casualty list to state that a
wound is serious, and in default of such
note it is certain that the man named is
but slightly wounded. None of the COM

Denver, Colo, Feb. 1.-THE indica-
tions tonight are that the storm which
has held Colorado helpless in it's en-
brace for the past two weeks has ex-
hausted itself. To-day was pleasant in
Denver, the sun shone almost all day
and during the noon hours was warm
enough to melt the snow. This change
has enabled The railroad people to prose-
cute the work of CLEARING their tracks
of the deep sacw more vigorously and
it is announced by the Denver & Rio
Grande officials that at o'clock this
afternoon they had succeeded in open
iEg the system, with the exception of
the Blue river branch from Leadville to
Dillon. The road is now clear over
Marshall pass and tonight all Rio
Grande trains will start on schedule
time. All delayed trains are again NOV
ing without interruption. Last night
was one of the co!dest nights ever ex-
perienced in the portion of Colorado
east of the mountains. The mercury was
below zero all day and had fallen to %
degrees below at midnight. In the su-
burbs on the hills about Denver as low

ENGLAND GALE SWEPT.
Thousands of Acres Submerged by Huge

London, Feb. IA heavy gale
swept the British islands yesterday and
has continued to-day, causing floods
at many points. Rivers have overflow
ed their banks, railways have been
submerged and there have been nu-
merous casualties along the coast.
At Newport, Monmouthshire, a huge
tidal wave leaped over the seawall
submerging thousands of acres and the
lowlying portions of the town. One
man was drowned.

Manila, Feb. IL, Ais p. m.--Contrary
to general expectations, all is quiet
along the entire line, nothing having
happened up to this hour to disturb the
peace of Sunday in Manila. The inhab-
itants have generally recovered from
the alarm occasioned by the fear of a
native uprising and are resuming their
ordinary business. The shipping inter
ests are naturally suffering, since there
have been no clearances for Philippine
ports for a week, but on the other hand,
foreign shipping has increased, especial
~ for Hong Kong, eve ~ steamer bound
thither being crowded with timid refu-
gees.
Despite this quiatude, however, many
are asking whether the problem is not
still far from solution. A week ago
those who took an optimistic view pre-
dicted that the terrible lesson Just ad-
ministered to the rebels would settle
the question of Filipino independence
But this prediction has not been full
filled. As a matter of fact, the rebels
are now scattered throughout the coun-
try bushWhacking, except at Mala bon
where they are gathering in force. Even
there their methods SAVIOR more of guer-
rilla than of civilized warfare; every
bush and clump of trees furnishing COW
er for sharpshooters.
Unfortunately, for miles around, the
land is studded with bamboo jungle and
open spaces are few and far between
This affords the natives. who fight bet
Under q n ,tT,Sr
Under such conditions, it is remarkab Bile
that the American casualties should be
SO few, while the number of dead ma
tives found in the brush after every
skirmish testifies to the precision of our
fire. Last week there was not a sin
gle day without fighting. but the Amer
leans steadily advanced, carrying ev-
erything before them. 1t is now known
that the Filipino loss is fully 1900 kill
ed, with wounded vastly in excess of
that number and thousands are held
prisoners. All this has been achieved
at the cost of 65 Americans killed and
276 wounded. There were % Americans
missing and unaccounted for. No few
er than 10 of the native villages have
surrendered or been captured. Several
have been destroyed because their houses
harbored men, frequently disguised in
female attire, who shot from windows
and roofs at the Americans. Many
rifles and a ton of ammunition have
been seized. AS might be expected,
there has been looting in the outskirts,
but it has not been general, and has
been done in direct violation of orders
The only incident that has broken the
quietude of the day followed the arrival
of the German iirst-class cruiser Kali
serin Augusta. When she saluted Ad-
miral Dewey this afternoon, a report
spread rapidly that the American war
ships were bombarding Malabon.
To-day crowds have visited the scenes
