SWEPT TO DEATH.
Avalanche at Silver Plume, Colorado,
Claims Twenty-four Victims.

Claims Twenty-four Victims.
A snowslide, one of the most disastrous
ever known in the Clear Greek country,
occurred at Silver Plume. Twenty-four
lives are believed to have been lost. The
dead are Italian miners, with their fam
lilies. The slide started two miles away,
and came with terrific force, carrying
along huge powders and immense trees.
A short distance from the starting point
the avalanche parted, one section coming
down Cherokee Gulch, taking with it two
cabins occupied by Italians and the shaft
house of the Cary City mine. The other
slide came down William Gulch, between
the Pelican and the Seven Thirty mines,
The later section did the most damage. Set
Elements of miners, mostly Italians, were
situated in both gulches. For several
days the inhabitants had moved from
place to place to escape threatened disas-
ter, should the mount aims of snow start
down the mountain sides. Some fingered
in their homes and were carried away in
the slide

ROW OVER GARCIA's FUNERAL.


The late General Calixto Garcia was
buried at Havana without the presence
of a single uniformed comrade in arms.
Immense throngs of his compatriets paid
honor to his memory, wondering as the
long procession filed through the streets
of Havana where the Cuban soldiers
were. The townspeople learned after the
funeral that the Cuban generals had had
a dispute with Governor General Brooke's
staff over the question of precedence and
had withdrawn in anger, ordering $50
other officers and 200 privates out of the
lines. The members Of the Cuban assem-
bly, also withdrew.

Deputy Sheriff Billy Moore return
ed recently from lonto Basin. Mr..
Moore gives very interesting account
of his journey which was made in the
search of Murderer Daniels. After
leaving Mega early in the morning
Mr.. Moore rode almost day and night
to reach the Daniels ranch as soon as
possible, and perhaps to find him
there. Finding no trace of him at his
home the intrepid sheriff learned of a
possible hiding place in remote can,
'yon several miles beyond. Upon ar
irving there Mr.. Moore climbed a
mountain cliff overlooking the valley
or canyon and remained there all day,
watching the little tent that had been
discovered, pitched in the thicket. by
means of his field glasses. Not see
ing anyone come out of the tent dur
ing the day the pursuer. under cover
of the approaching darkness, got
within twenty. i've feet of the tent
and remained there over night hidden
behind a large pine tree, until day
break, when he entered the tent re,
volver in hand, but vas disar pointed
in finding only the son and brother
in-!aW of the murderer, who were
very much surprised to see him. M.
Moore took immediate possession of
the shotgun that had been left within
reach and took the loads OF buckshot
out of it. 1he fellow remarked that
it was kept for killing squirrels, etc.
The officer smiled and said: edo you
use buckshot on them?' Although
disappointed in this instance, Mr..
Moore has exempliied his capabilities.
An interesting feature of the episode
was brought out when, perched' on the
overhanging rocks, with the squirrels
playing in the giant pines above him
and the wind moaning in the branches,
he was struck by the grandeur of the
scene before him. There lay the
beautiful mountain valley before him
with its li5tle stream vending its way
in and out, and finally lost to view
further down the canyon,r aud almost
hidden on either side by massive tim
ber that had never been moIested. To
have experienced the feelings of the
hardy mountaineer as he sat there,
expecting every moment to see the
object of his search emerge from the
tent, and yet SO forcibIy impressed by
the rustic grandeur about him, must
indeed have been worth the effort put
forth.-Republican.
