THE WHITE DEATH.
The Terrible Frozen Fog of the
Rockies.


Rockies.
OF all the natural phenomena pecu-
liar to the Rocky mountain region
none is more strange or terrible than
the mysterious storm known to the In
dams as the white death" Scien-
tiic men have never yet had an OPP
portunity of investigating 1t, because
it comes at the most unexpected times
and may keep away for certain
locality for years. Well-read men who
have been through il say that it is
really a frozen fog But where the fog
comes from is more than anyone can
say. This phenomenon occurs most
frequently in the northern part of
Colorado in Wyoming and occasional
ly in Montana.
Will Sparks, writing in Ainslie's
Magazine of this singular phenomenon,
tells this authentic story of it:
about two years ago party of
three women and two men were cross
ing North Park in a wagon in Febru-
airy The air was bitterly cold, but dry
as a bone and motionless. The sun
shone with almost startling brilliancy.
AS the five people drove along the
crisp snow they did not experience the
least cold, but really felt most com
Portable, and rather enjoyed the trip.
Mountain peaks so miles away could
be seen as distinctly as the pine trees
by the roadside.
Suddenly one of the women put her
hand up to her face and remarked that
something had stung her. Then other
members of the party did the same
thing, although not sign Of an insect
could be seen. All maryeled greatly
at this A moment later they noticed
that the distant mountains We're disap-
pearing behind a cloud of mist. Mist
in Colorado in January, Surely there
must be some mistake, because within
10 minutes a gentle wind began to
blow and the air became filed with
fine PARTICLES of something that scinti-
lated like diamond dust in the sun
shine. Still the people drove on until
they came to a cabin. where a man
signaled to them to stop. With his
| head tied up in bundle of mufilers he
rushed out and handed the driver a
piece of paper on which was written:
Come into the house quick, or this
storm will kill all OF you. Don't talk
outside here
"Of course no time was lost in get
ting under cover and putting the
| IL. - .
a little late. for in less than an hour
the whole party was sick with violent
coughs and fever. Before the next
morning one of the women died with
all the symptoms of pneumonia. The
! others were violently i'll of it, but man
aged to pun through after long sick
| ness.
81 seen you people driving along
the road long before you got to my
house, and | knowed you didn't know
what you were drivin' through, said
the man, as soon rs the surviving
members of the party were able tc

he would be sure to die One winter
