SCULPTOR BoRGLUM ROLLED
He Meets This Novel Experience in
Truckee Yesterday

II is a matter of history that
good many people have been "r)1-
ed in the mountain town Of Truckoe.
Yesterday morning Borglum the scu1-
tor got most beautifully rolled ana
there is a broad grin all over town.
It happened that BOrglum and Con-
troller Davis were in Truckee where
Borglum stopped to make a call on
Miss McGlashan, the California scu D.
toress a sister artist. Then the trains
got snow bound and the pair stopped
at McGlashan's house over night 70
partake of the McGlashan hospitality
which is famed throughout the sect
ion.
In the morning there was a snow
drift reaching from the high stone
wall of the porch several hundred
yards down the hill running at an
angle Of forty five degrees. Nicolas
han has number of pretty daughters
seven or eight, more or less, and these
girls can hold their own in out door
sports with any one. There was a
crust on the snow under the lee Of
the porch and they simply slid Borg
lum's valises out on to the crust and
threw Borglum after them. Then the
whole party started down the hill IN
til they hit the spot where the crust
had been IN the sun and like flash
they all disappeared. Borglum went on;
of sight in fifteen feet of snow am
about half the McGlashan family land
ed on top.
The valises slid off in another dt
rection and one went smashing into
window and landed in the mids
of family eating their breakfast,
Then Mrs McGlashan phoned dow
town and started a gang of men te
the scene with ropes and log-nook
and they fished the party out.
Borglum was at the bottom OF tn,
hole and nearly dead when the rope
and hooks reached him. He was thel
packed to the train and placed 81
board just in time to start him TO
New York
1t cost him five dollars to set,
with the man whose window the grir
sack went through. This is Borglum
first experience with being rolled
in the Sierras and he said he wa
coming back next winter for more g
