VOICE STARTS AN AVALANCHE.
AT Any Rate the Slide Began Just as a
Man Called "Geod-Bye."

From the Rocky Mountain News.
Is it true that the sound Of the hu-
man voice may start a snowside?
James Perchard, clerk of the state
court of appeals, is inclined to answer
the question in the affirmative. He has
Tor 70 years past been almost of the be-
l!ef that word of farewell which he
shouted in one of the mountain canyons

Il never think of the event without
a shudder," said Mr.. Perchard yester-
day, Il was mining at the time in the
region above Georgetown. The snow
had fallen to an unusual depth that
winter and miners moving from one
cabin to another were warned to look
out for slides. I stopped in one of my
trips at the cabin of an acquaintance
and took dinner with him and his wife.
At the close of the meal my host urged
me TO stay while and take a smoke
with him, but l felt nervous and i'm
patient for some reason which it was
impossible for me to explain and de-
cllned as politely as possible the Kind
invitation. I arose from the table and
without delay started on my journey.
Crossing the canyon I turned to wave
a farewell to the friends who had en-
tertained me. The man and his wife
We're standing at the door of the cabin
The air was perfectly still. Not the
slightest intimation was given of the
awful disaster which was about to hap
pen. l waved my hand and shouted
'Good-bYe.'
Hardly had the echoes of my voice
died away before a muff1ed sound
struck the cara noise like the boom of
cannon-and the whole side of the
mountain seemed to be in motion. The

ward the bottom of the gulch and with
in five seconds the bin was over
whelmed and the spot on which I stood
one or two minutes before was buried
under 30 feet of snow. I summoned as

and we frantically dug out two dead
bodies. Tho third person afterward re-
covered from the injuries inflicted by

TONY JESKI IS IN LUCK
Fallen Heir to $4,000 of His
Fathers Estate.
WAS A SURPRISE TO HIM
He Left His Home in Posen Thirteen
Years Ago Under Circumstances
Which the Emperor Will
Not Overlook

Tony Jeski, proprietor of the Califor-
MIA cafe. received notification yester-
day from Posen, Germany, that he wac
the owner of s24,0OO his share of his
fathers estate, which has been involv-
ed in litigation ever since the elder
Jeski's death. seven years ago. The let
ter was registered and its contents were
surprise to the recipient. Tony eX-
pected some day to receive probably
$1,000 or 81 500, but didn't look for any
thing so extensive
Tony left his home in Posen IS years
ago and under circumstances which
the kaiser stubbornly refuses to for
get He had enlisted In the German
army. as many other thoughtless young
Germans have done. He served a cou-
pie of years and then found chance of
escape to the land of liberty and gold.
He still has three years to serve un-
der William. and for this reason he
finds 1t impossible to return to settle
up his affairs of the estate. The cor
respondence yesterday was from the
auditor of the estate. 1t states
that after dividing the estate unequal
ly among the widow and 10 children
Tonys share amounts to $4,000.
IpHy Sdlu last n1Snt TO a
Standard reporter: "This is a
great surprise to me, indeed.
l can't understand it. I certainly must
have received the lions share of the
estate. which / think, is not valued at
more than 100000. My mother surely
gets a share, and the other children,
should think, are entitled to as much
as |. However the ESTATE might be
worth much more than l regard it to be
worth. I had not heard from home for
some months, and in fact, had almost
forgotten about the estate. My father
was land owner and dealt extensively
in cattle, which he bought in Russia
and sold in Germany, Austria and
France
will you continue in the restaurant
business?" asked the reporter.
Il certainly will do that until ! get
my hands on the money; then T might
quit the business
Tony is well known in Western Mon
tana, where for years he has been con-
Quoting restaurants. He is a cook by
occupation and has worked in Anacon-
da and other cities on the west side.
He accepts his big dividend with
grace quite commendable and has not
permitted it to carry him off his feet.
