DEATH UNDER THE SNOW.
Seven Men Buried by "a SnOSv-SIide'
Five of whom Were Dead
When Taken Ont.

Seattle, Wash, May 7.-Particuiars
of the snow-slide reported to have oc-
Cured at Sunrise City, Alaska, about
March 20, were received here, yester-
day, by mail. The slide did not occur
at Sunrise, but at Smiths camp, on
Lynx creek, % miles above Sunrise.
Five men were killed.
The slide started on the side of an
adjacent mountain, and came thun-
dering down over a cliff on to the
camp beneath, a sheer fall of 200 feet.
There had been nothing to give the
men warning of their danger, and the
first known of the castrophe was
when they heard the roar of the
great body sliding down the o
tain. There were at the camp, in all,
seven men, two beside the five who
were killed.
The entire sever were buried under
the mass, but Frank F1eehardy, a
strong young man, was not buried as
deeply as the rest, and by several
hours hard work succeeded in getting
out of the slide. AS soon as he reached
the surface he began, without result,
to dig for his comrades.
The first man reached was Gilbert
Devoe. Beyond a number of severe
cuts and bruises and the act that he
was seriously f~rcstbitten Devoe was
all right, and will recover, although
he was under the snow 16 hours. The
others were dead when the ~rescuing
party reached their bodies.
