A HUGE AVALANCHE.
struction to Life and Property in
CoIOrado-Eight Lives Lost.

Denver, Col. Feb. 13.-A special to the
Republican from Silver Plume. Col,
says; Two mighty snowslides combin-
ing into one swept down Cherokee
gulch at eight o'clock Sunday 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 persons are
known to be lost and three have been
taken out alive. The rescung party
has only penetrated about Is feet into
the mass Of snow and wreckage piled
up at The foot of the gulch TO the depth
Of - feet.
The slide started in what is known
as Carry City gulch. 1t swept over the
Pelican mines tunnel house. carrying
away the mine dumps and buildings
and filling 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
10 Cherokee gulch. Here the two
avalanches met and continued their
course toward the town. just back of
Silver Plume in the main gulch was
settlement of Italian miners. Their
cabins were directly in the path of de-
struction and were crushed like egg
shells. Trees were torn up by the roots
and gigantic powders carried away
like pebbles A turn in the gulch just
as it opens on the town checked the
slide and it now stands threatening de
struction to at least portion of this
camp should the remainder of the snow
on the mountain sides start to fall.
Every available man from Silver Plume
and Georgetown is now digging for the
bodies of the missing.

SKATERS IN PERIL.
Pleasure Seekers Carried Away on
Ice FIOes Near Chicngc-Several
Persons Are Missing.

Chicago. Feb 13.-SiXteen skaters
living in the suburb of Rogers Park and
Lake Forest were carried out into Lake
Michigan on ice foes Sunday. Ten Of
them were rescued, and during he en-
tire evening searching parties made
fruitless efforts to secure some trace of
the missing six. The missing:
Attorney Elmer y, Brothers. employed
in the office of Attorney Luther Latin
Mills: Miss Orel Manney, II years old. niece
of Attorney Brothers: Chauncey Nancy
nephew of Attorney Brothers: George NAL
Iory. student at Lake Forest university,
home in Pontiac, III; Arthur Fletcher
Ravenswood; Guy Carron student a Lake
Forest university. home in St Anne. III
Sydney Morris Charles Money and an un-
known policeman, all Of Rogers Park.
All of those who were rescued were
carried out on he ice off Lake Forest
and two of the number who ventured
on the frozen lake there are supposed
10 have been drowned. The remaining
four of the l6 were carried away on a
foe off Rogers Park and the Chicago
life saving crew spent the night search
ing for them. The cold is intense and a
driving wind makes il improbable that
the missing people can live.

Indeed and it's the money that will
be welcome said his mother, looking
up from the stove, where their modest
breakfast was in preparation. but it's
a poor way to DE spending your holiday,
working harder than if you were
at school"
Bah! that's nothing. Shoveling
snow is as good as play" answered
Conner, who, TO tell the truth, was not
very fond of his books. Give me my
cup of coffee, mother, and I'm off. It's

replied Fred, in an injured tone. How

best agate out Of the window yesterday

the window sill and gazed down into
the streets.

every now and then to hold his ears

Fred watched him with interest, Aft
