ton H. Scott Of Como, surgeon of the South
Park line of the Colorado and Southern,
vouches for the accuracy of the story. Not
only do the cattle turn the shingles into

of snow for miles so high that the walls
tower for several feet over the roofs of
the coaches.
mo description, never mind how faith

the terrific amount of snow that has fallen
from where the Platte canyon debouches
into South Park, near Leadville The best
tales of the pioneers have all been dis
counted this winter. The storms have kept
the railroad busy since November.
THE snow between Webster and Como
ranges from six to sixteen feet deep along
the track. Between Como and Brecken-
ridge, parties who have been over the
buried road have rested themselves on the
cross arms of the telegraph poles. The
height of the snow varies between those
two points from ten to thirty-five feet along
the track.
Between Dickey and Leadville are slides
fifty feet deep. that have brought down
rocks and trees in addition to the snow.

ton of the high line the workmen will be

little too far, and the swift current
struck them broadsides, gradually drift
ing them toward the District shore. While

back to the narrow channel at the point

the drifting until finally one of the scows

with the exception of Dick Graham,
white man, who could not be reached. He
was finally rescued by fisherman in a
small boat.
Both of the scows and their loads were
completely wrecked. The scows are valued
at about 500 each. and with m the cargo
