ALPINE GUIDE HAD
A NARROW ESCAPE.

VENICE, March 30.-Signor Nodes
ii. a well known mountain guide,
had as thrilling and narrow escape
from death in a recent avalanche in
the Gravedeona Alps as a man well
could and still live to tell the tale.
His worst injury was badly brok-
en- arm, while his body was a mass
of deep and painful bruises.
He was walking over the mountains
with a companion named Croscioschi
and at one point they found them
selves on a pathway which was cut
along the side of the precipice.
Modesti relates his experiences:
"Above u.s." he says, ''the rock rose
nearly straight, while below there
was sheer drop, ending in a steep
slope dotted with rocks and a few
trees. We were forced to work our
way along the pathway with our
faces to the rock, when suddenly we
heard a frightful roar above us. lie .

awful blow in the back and was hurl-
