days have raised havoc with the Rio

train from the west due here yesterday
evening encountered fourteen rock and
SnoWSlides and it was o'clock this
morning before it got through the can
yon and reached Sapinero. From the
latter place to Gunnison was supposed
to be clear sailing, but when a curve
ten miles this side of Sapinero was
reached, the train ran into an immense
rockslide. The engine was completely
wrecked and now lies crosswise of the
track. The engineer and fireman both
Jumped from the cab and were unin-
jured. None of the passengers were
hurt. The mail and baggage cars were
considerably damaged. A temporary
track was built around the wreck. an
engine sent from here, and at o'clock
this afternoon the train arrived at this
point, where several hours were con-
sumed in making necessary repairs
A terrific blizzard has been raging on
Eagle pass for several days and nu-
merOus snoWslides have occurred in
Eagle canyon. Some narrow escapes
are reported. A Denver & Rio Grande
train has been stuck in the snow in
the canyon since Tuesday.

Junction eastbound. which were held
here, returned to the Junction this af-
ternoon and the passengers will be
sent east by way of the narrow gauge
railroad. No prediction can be made
as to when the road will be cleared.

Excessive Use of Opium Causes H.
7. Livingston's Ruin.
A PATRON OF THE Joint
his LAST NIGHT SPENT IN A
DEN.
The Unfortunate Man Was Well
Known as a Musician - An In
quest Not Necessary-He Leaves
a Widow and Two Small Chill
dren-Formerly Lived In Omaha.

Death came to. Harry T. Livingston,
a musician, under pitiable circumstan-
ces, in a room at ZIG State street, last
evening. The cause of death was at
tributed by the physician who exam
ined the body to an excessive use of
opium. He was also an unfortunate
victim of alcoholism.
At $3.50 yesterday morning Livingston
applied to the landlady for two rooms,
Nos. Is and 16 being assigned him. A
few minutes later he went downstairs
and secured a cup of water. Henry
Fisher a friend, came soon after and
occupied one of the rooms. They left
word to be called at 5 in the evening.
At that hour the landlady called them
and Fisher came down, stating that
Livingston was sick. He sent mes
senger and secured DR.. Beer, who
found the man very low, breathing
only about three times a minute, his
hands and face being black. The ply
sician asked Fisher to call a policeman,
and Officer Shannon came in. Living
Ston was beyond medical aid and sank
rapidly, expiring a few minutes before
6 o'clock. On his clothing was found
a card bearing the name Of Don 7.
Allison. There was 10 cents in change
and a mandolin picker and some gui-
tar strings in his pockets. Justice Nc
Master was called and viewed the
body. After learning the circum-'
stances of his death, it was decided
that an inquest,would not be necessary.
The body was removed to Evans I'M
dertaking rooms.
When Fisher was informed by DR..
Beer that Livingston could not live, he
became very much excited and made
a frank statement of the circumstances
leading up to his death. The two men
had been drinking heavily the night
before and finally rounded up in an
opium joint on Plum alley, where Liv-
ingston proceeded to hit the pipe
consuming sixteen pills of opium, or,
as it is called, sixteen pipes. Fisher
says he himself did not use the drug.
After spending the night in this fash
ion they went to the rooms where Liv-
ingston died. 1t was learned from an
other source that the two men left
Commercial street late in the night
with two sporting women and pro-
ceeded to the opium joint.
Livingston was about so years of
age, of stout build, and clean shaver.
He carried an air of refinement, al
though bearing some marks of dissi-
patton He leaves a wife and two
small children, living at 515 South
Fifth East street. He and Fisher We're
often employed in furnishing mando-
lin and guitar music at the Knutsford.
1t was to fill an appointment at
o'clock that they wished to be called
at 5. Fisher lives with his parents at
$50 East Seventh South street. Liy-
ingston formerly lived in Omaha, and
his father, who resides in that city,
was notified last night of his death.
