Collegiate, 1t will be remembered, ac-
companied the Carln hunting party
to the Clearwater country In the fall
Of '93, acting 10 the capacity Of cook.
There he fell sick and was foully de-
serted and left to perish among the
rugged mountains, while the cowardly
ours comprising the Carlin party
sneaked into civilization and reported
that they had been unable to bring
Mr.. Collegiate out with them. A
searching or relief party was organ
lied, and Charlie Collegiate, the 49,
year old son of the unfortunate man,
Insisted on accompanying the party.
He did SO, aud pluckily ploughed his
way through snow-drifts, over rocks
and fallen timber, fording streams
and untiringly pushing forward to
where his sick father had been left
hoping To reach there IN time to res
cue or at least administer to the
wants Of his beloved parent. But the
snow and the foods came and the
little band of searchers were unable
to tind any trace of the missing man.
The next spring, however, his bones
and portion of his belongings were
found and the remains were buried
