An | immense mass or snow and ice
crashed down this mountains side three
miles from Wellington Tuesday. injuring
at least Ave laborers and tumbl.ng over
many more.
This Is the story told by Joseph Fisher.
a German shoemaker. who lies at Prosi-
dsnce hospital with his left shoulder
broken, his chest bruised and his body
covered with smaii cuts. He was the
only one seriousi, injured. although three
others are laid up at Wellington with
sprained ankles and bruised heads.
Fisher had been ut work for the Great
Northern only a part Of one day when
the accident happened. He says that hs
will never take another position like il
again If he was 10 dig CLAIMS for living
He had been travelling through California
patching shoes and exhibiting a phono-
graph. Times were not AS good as they
might have been in his line. so he came
To Seattle and secured a position on the
Great Northern. He was sent to yelling
ton. He says that during the two days
prior 10 the accident there was mixture
og snow and rain. which blocked the track
ard made the great white blanket that
covered the mountain sides crack and
open UP ugly erevassss.

CAUGHT IN A SLIDE AND STILL
ALIVE TO TELL THE TALE.
Thrilling Escape From

On the morning OF April II, according 10
his story. he vent to work shoveiing snow
near the bridge that was recently swept
away. This Is about three miles from
Wellington. There were twen;y-seven
men in the crew. Fisher says that they
first commenced work up on the noun
tain side above the track where there was
a big erevasse. but that IT soon became
evident that a slide might take place at
any moment, so the location was switched
Fisher says that later i'm the day he and
others were sent up on the mountain
again. but were sopr recalled. Then they
were set TO work shoveling of the Snow
and ice that had gathered over the track
itself. They were working in sor, OF
ditch when the warning cry. Look out
fer the snowslide." reached their ears.
There was mad rush but IL was too
late. With the wings Of lightning and the
roar OF Il thousand lions. the big white
mass that had broken from it's hoary fast
ness on the mountain half a mile above
sweat over them. Men were tumbled about
like tenpsns and sent flying down the
mountain side. Fisher says that he strug-
gied TO keep his feet. bu. was carried
along. first on his feet, then on his side,
and then on his head. He WAS poweriess

10 save himself. A big lump OF something
struck him. He was daxed. but tsfed to
avoid great big objects that were piling
In from all sides. II was no use One
mass that looked as large as a house
struck him on the head and shoulders. He
fell into a dream. The world seemed beat
tifal and that was the last he knew un-
til he saw men around him with shoveis.
II had been carried down the mountain
four hundred feet" said Fisher. '.and I
do not know how II was tina. I escaped
instant death. There were fpe or six 9TH
er men injured bat not seriously Three
Of them are Al Wellington In she bunk

fortunately they were not struck by any
thing hard, and escaped. 1 never heard
anything in my life like the roar Of a
mountain avalanche. I, In terrible do
not want to hear II again I will never
