FALSE ALARM.
Fire Department had Run TO no Purpose or
Monday Evening.


About 500 p. m. Monday the fire
bell rang out It's warning notes and
soon the boys were pikine up the hill
after the carts. One cart was out
and half way down the hill when
Assistant Chief Henry appeared on
the scene and stopped further pro-
gress with the announcement that
'the fire is out"
The alarm was sounded as the result
OF gasoline lamp burning out In
Mat Hurja's store. The. tank had
been filled Saturday evening and the
lamp burned all right but there must
have been leak somewhere for as
soon as the match was applied Mon
day flames burst out from top TO bot
tom Of the lamp and IL really did look
threatening The fire was so hot
that no one dared approach the lamp
and the store force Just watched the
thing burn out. Fortunately there
was but half tank Of oil and the
flames soon expired for want Of fuel.
Some passer-by must have seen the
flames and yelled out the alarm. The
ceiling just above the lamp was
scorched a little but otherwise nc
damage was done.

Snowfall in the Mountains.
(By Weather Bureau.)
DENVER, Colo, March o


Although snow fell on a great many
days the amounts were generally
small. and, for the mountain region as
a whole. the precipitation during Feb
Iuary was much below normal. In
the northern part OF the state high
winds during the last decade drift
ed the snow from above timber line
into g,ilches and timber-places favor
able to conserving the moisture. for
time, at least--but in southern dis
tricts warm winds caused considera-
BILE melting and evaporation. In the
valleys and parks of moderate eleVa-
tion the snow was moist and much
melted as fast as it fell, and in local
tiles rain fell-an unusual occurrence
In February, even on the plains.
Southern slopes are now bare and
high temperatures have caused melt
ing in the shade almost TO timber line.
AS compared with u year ago the
stock of snow is less. on all the water
sheds, the deficiency being marked on
that of the Arkansas, especially on
the drainage area of It's southern triD-
ntaries. The deficiency is also very
marked near the headwaters OF the
White and the Yampa. AS rule,
the snow is not well packed and will
disappear early in the season, leav-
ing the midsummer flow to be sup
piled almost exclusively by rains.

THREE CAUGHT IN snowsLlDe.
Near Silver Chief Property Up Bear

But One Is Killed.
lFriday,s Telluride Iournal.l

Friday afternoon about 4 o'clock
two men came to town from up Bear
creek with the information that they
with Antoine Leonardelli had been
caught in snowslide near the Silver
Chief property, that they had man.
aged to dig themselves out but were
unable to locate Leonardelli, SC came
to town for help.
Coroner Glenn soon organized a par
ty of twenty men who left in two
sleighs for the scene of the disaster.
The men worked hard until dark,
when a binding storm compelled
them to abandon the search, they
having been unable up to that time
to locate the body
The three men had started for the
Thomas property yesterday morning.
but on account of the storm were un-
able to go any farther than the Silver
Chief where they remained couple
of hours and started on their return
to town. Gibson and Graham with
whom they had stopped, told them
that the slide had come down twice
already that day, and advised them to
be careful in crossing its path, as it
was liable to come down again any
minute and it was the third slide that
caught them.
The slide in question was about 100
feet across and the snow being wet
and heavy it was packed like ice,
which greatly hindered the relief par
ty in its work. This morning at 9
O'Clock another party went up to re-
sumo the search and recovered the
body about II O'clock
The man was buried under three
feet of tightly packed snow about
ten feet from the trail and Judging
from the position of the body and
owing to the fact that the man had
not moved, and that his pipe was yet
in his mouth it is the supposition
tnat when the slide struck him he
was instantly killed.
Deceased came here from Silverton
and had been in the camp but coup
lie of weeks.

that unless the matter was thorough

the people of Durango could not an
preciate the injury the city had re-
ceived by people of other sections
decrying the water used. He beliey-
ed we could secure plenty of water
from the Florida by means of reser-
voirs. and he favored the bonding
proposition. He said there was no
necessity for securing water rights,
that storage reservoirs could be con
struoted and the city provided with
pure water every day. Mr.. Herr

same for adoption a year hence. AS
it was, he was not in favor of the

There was much cross-talking by
the ones mentioned above, DR.. Sed-
wick, Judge. Newcomb. Gartin and
others. Mr.. Gartin said that with
bounteous water supply by the gravity
system turbin wheel could be put in
