the mine.
Thinking Stockman had reached
Gothic and expecting help, for two
days they waited At last the slides
became less dangerous, and going
TO the old stable foundation the men
tore loose few boards. These they
radely shaped into snow shoes with
owt points. Nine of them. including
Mosher, Harry Knight, Lee Brown,
Frank keelor, Albert Baggs, Uley
Nc Williams Walter Baxter and
Fred Whalen decided to take the
risk of the descent Harry Knight,
dos. Studhalter, Fordie Gibbs and
Lee Hardy preferred to remain.
Down the seven miles toward Gothic
went the eight with their rough
board shoes through the now seven
or eight feet of snow. Sometimes a
maH wosid slide off the boards and
disappear from sight only to be
pulled out by his companions At
last they reached the scene of Stock
mans first camp and found as well
tho lion tracks. This then was the
reason why no help had come from
GHhic. But help was coming For
several days the boys at Gothic had
felt safe thinking Mosher and Stock
man were sim2iy waiting at the
mine until the slides ceased How
ever, they knew the horses had no
supply of hay and concluded some
thing was wrong McGruder and
Mooney went up the trail and found
Stockman. only an hour before the
other party came down. He was
about all il" with hands and feet
frozen. but still game. Together
they all got safely to Gothic, but OF
the four left above the trees no more
has been heard Supt. J. T. Ben.
nett attempted Sunday to rescue
them. but was unable to even get in
sight of the mine.

they started. A short distance and
slide of the soft fluffy snow buried
men and teams Nike, the big 100
pound percheron horse, was thrown
clear over Mosher. but neither man
nor beast was hurt aud after painful
effort they all struggled out 1t
was decided to leave the team, ios
slides were coming in every dlrec-
tioh like the crash of artillery.
Thinking the lightning would
not strike twice in the same place,
the teams were taken across the
0ulch aud located in the track of
the slide. They were fed and
Mosher started for the compressor
plant while Stockm was to 60 back
for help at Gothic A moment later
down came = tremendous slide in
the very path of tho other. 1t swept
across the gulch, half way up the
other side, and the monstrous comb
carrying horses and sleigh, broke
over backwards, burying teams be-
meath fifty feet Of slide. But Stock
man went on down the gulch He
had barely made the turn when a
small slide swept him into the tim
Der and wrapped him around tree.
Four hours of desperate struggle
and he got free. 1t was late, slides
were still booming and he built a
fire. Soon q mountain lion appeared
and all night stealthily prowled
around his snowy bunk, while the
blizzard roared The next day he
struggled a mile down the gulch
and camped again The third day
he went but quarter of mile and
gave out. Again he camped for the
long night
In the meantime Mosher had been
struggling toward the Mountain

Suit of Burton b. We'll OF This City
Against Mrs. Anna /. Finneran of
Kansas City Heard in the Circuit
Court Here Yesterday

In the jefferson circuit court yester-
day the suit of Burton B. We'll of this
city, formerly an attorney in Chi
cago. against Mrs. Anna |. Finneran
of Kansas City, in which he seeks to
secure 81 900 alleged to be due him
as a legal fee, was heard. The case
will go to the jury this morning, al
ter the final arguments are submit
ted and much interest centers in its
outcome
The case has attracted no little at
tention here because it has been heard
on two former occasions in the JEFF
ferson circuit court here. The first
time it was tried Judge Grace held
that the suit was filed prematurely,
in that an estate in which the defend
ant is interested had not been set
tied Mr.. We'll appealed the case to
the Supreme Court and it was revers-
ed. At the second trial Mrs. Finneran
testified that the plaintiff told her that
her mother, who was Blanche Row
land of this city, had died in Little
Rock, leaving the estate. This tes-
timOny was also the cause for a sec
ond reversal OF the decision in the
lower court, it having been heard by
jury
The case is being heard by jury
at this time. Attorneys White and
Altheimer represent the defendant
