FROM DEATH TO LIFE.
Experience of One Buried Under an
Avalanche of Snow and Ice.

From the Portland Orcgonan,
From life to death and back again to
life was the experience of \. Miller. of
Portland in the recent Chilkoot catas-
trOphe.
Mr.. Miller arrived in Portland yes
terday feeling fairly well, yet he has
not entirely recovered from the effects
of being buried beneath tons of snow
and ice. He suffered internal injury
that for a time gave the physicians
doubt as to the ultimate turn of his
case, and looks back to the loss Of
many pounds of flesh as one of the
least regretful features of his narrow
escape. Mr.. Miller was caught under
the large slide that extended over a
mile along the trial at the Scales, be-
ing at the time, with over 100 men ana
women, fleeing from what was known
to be imminent danger. After more
than two hours of uncOnsciousness,
during which time Mr.. Miller was
thought by many to have taken per
manent abode i'm the shadoWy realm,
he was finally revived through the good
Offices of his friend, +. b. HolbrOok, of
Portland, and DR.. Maple, the Govern
Inent physician who rendered such val
liable services to the unfOrtunates,
About II a. m. Mr.. Miller, with Mr..
IIolbrOok and party of over 100, left
the Scales, a long rope being used by
the party in the same manner as by
mountain climbers. This was mainly
for the protection Of the women, al
though some of the men found it val
liable i'm clamberinE down the steep,
trcac herous trail. Shortly after II Mr.
Miller says he was suddenly made
aware of the great avalanche by ter
rife rumble and roar from above. No
one could see it; in fact. the driving
snow made it impossible to more than
see the trail beneath their feet From
the time the first roar was heard until
the avalanche engufed the party was
only moment. Most of those holding
the rope were struck while still bend
ing forward to protect their faces from
the blizzard the mass of snow simply
crushing them down to the trail. Mr.
Miller started to turn for a backward
look when caught, and was pressed
down on his side i'm a cramped posi-
tion. When narrating his sensations at
that time, he said

it is only to avoid a public scandal

Ohio, went to the convention and worked
for him. He was q delegate from Ma6i-

state, but when the convention adjourned
every member had made his acquaint-
ance.
Whe Bushnell was elected the farmer
went to him and said abruptly: "Goy-

The governor hemmed and hawed and
said he would consider the matter amd
confer with the leaders OF Madison coun-

three prominent workers. Prettyn9an

in his most dramatic style: Count me

men who have done most to iniure you
