"That's where my hair went-in a San
Juan snowslide." And Thomas Tulley, one
time miner, editor, governors private sec
rotary, and now deputy state treasurer of
Colorado, rubbed his bald pate reflectively.
A reflective rub looks just like any ether
kind. but the novels always call them re-
Elective when they are followed by a good
story. Don't tell me about cyclones or
earthquakes, or any such make-believe
dangers. l can stand anything but the rip

avalanche breaking loose from it's moor

when 1t gets under way, and the swapping

feet deep. We were without any mail for
forty-two days, and it was seventy-three
days before we got a train after that slide.
Same winter, too, that the big Idaho slide
came down from Kendall mountain and
brought so many trees with It that the
whole town of sllverton was kept in fire
wood for two years. Piled 1t right up In
the town limits and smashed ii into stove
size, too, l was up on Kendall mountain
on my uncle's mine, the Titusvllle. We nae
a couple of fellows up there to look after
the big stamp mill through the winter, and
every few weeks Charley Price and 1 would
go up to see how they were getting along.
1T was too far to tramp back and forth
to the bunk-house, so Dave Purdy and VIII
Kane, the two fellows who were guarding
the mill, had fixed up the assay office for
a bedroom. That day when we got to the
mill 1t began to snow, and we stayed all
night. So we built up a roaring fire in the
assay furnace and piled back on our blan-
kets in the other end of the room. The
snow fell almost in blankets, 1t seemed, and
the wind howled awfully. Several times we
heard the roar and smash and felt the
building shake as a snowslide went down
some other part Of the mountain, but we
thought we were safe. No slide had ever
touched that spot l have looked over the
ground since and / know Just how il hap
pened, but 1t was more than a surprise
that night when part of the avalanche
stopped over from the gulch on our right.
We were Just getting to sleep and we
heard the internal crack and boom and
roar right above us, and smash, bang,
and away down the gulch it went with
half the assay office. Took the furnace
and our fire and all the roof and just left
us lying there in the snow with our bed
ding, And scared! That's when my hair
got up and stood on end and has never
laid down peaceably since. TWO or three
trees away In the mountain had just cut
off a slice Of the slide that filled the gulch
and had turned It over into the little gulch
where our assay office stood. That's what
caused our wreck.
''Well. we held a council right quick, dug
up a lot of matches and some candles, and
after we saw what had been done to our
house We declared we couldn't stay there
any more. We took our blankets and can
dies and matches, an old sheet iron stove
and an old canvas tent and moved up to the
big mill fifty feet up the side of the noun
tain. We climbed to the crushing room,
near the top of the mill, There We put up
out tent to keep out the draft all we could.
Then we nailed a comforter overhead. got
the stove going and fixed up pretty COM

death. for we could hear every little while

by, SOM so far We could only hear the
roar.

cordlng to his tales he had killed and
skinned at least forty Indians. He was
telling us about an Indian fight, and he
had just killed two reds and was skinning
them when Kane, who had been trying to
see out at the window, fell inside on the
floor n yelled:
My God, boys, here comes one from
above!
"Purdy commenced praying for forgive
ness for being so mean to the Indians, and
the rest of us were too scared to speak or
move. The slide came down from behind
the mill and hit the bottom of the gulch
with a roar worse than anything / ever
imagined. 1t slid part way UP the side Of
the other mountain, slowed around and
started down off the creek gulch, tearing
out the whole lower half of our mill, boil
ers, engines ten of the stamps and the
whole blessed works. That old mill danced
around like a pasteboard box.
well, we wouldn't stay there any longer.
1t was long past midnight, but we put on
every dud we could find, tore up comforts
and wrapped the strips round us. put on
German socks and snowshoes, and set out
into the night.
II took an axe in case we should have to
cut wood and build a fire; Kane had a
pick, and Price a shovel for fear some OF
us should get buried. and Purdy carried all
the provisions we had saved-a bottle OF
whisky and two salt crackers.
w couldn't see three inches, but We
knew timber was somewhere up hill, and
we knew that old John Lambert's cabin
was somewhere in the timber, and 1t was
safe. So we climbed and climbed In that
screaming storm and became worse scared
every minute as we could hear the avail
anches tearing down the mountains all
around us. We never did find Lambert's
cabin. but we walked till daylight, Then
we found we had gone clear over the ridge
into Deer park. miles from home.
I'VE started home then, and we were In
mortal terror for fear we'd start a slide
ourselves. Every time we had to cross an
open space We carried our hearts in our
teeth. it seemed to me. There was one
slide a full mile long, and with a slope of
foTy-five degrees anyway. We thought
sure that's where we'd go down. Kane
was the best snowshoer, and he went first.
We warned him not TO use his pole. keen
on his shoes, and Try TO ride on top.
Seemed to ne he wasn't thirty seconds
making that run. Then I tried. That's
where lost my hair. II don't matter, for
I know / never could have made It lie
down again anyway. Blu on that ride-it
was more like fall-it just blew off. We
got home safe, but there were twenty-three
men of Silverton killed that winter In
snowslides, and they're the only things I'm
afraid OF at all."-Denver Post.

C. E. DAVIS RENEWS HIS BOND
Pufs Cigar In Court Room Until
Bailln ReprOves Him for
the Act,

Charles f.. Davis, charged with the muir
der of DIR. Frederick Rustin. made his
first appearance in the district criminal
court room Saturday morning when he gave
a bond In renewal CT the one given in police
court at the time he was bound over. The
first bond expired with the closing of the
May term of court Saturday night and the

same as the old one and 1t was signed by
Charles Z, Davis as principal and his bro
theirs, Frederick H. Davis and Latham

Charles Davis, the defendant, while watt
ing for the court to reach his case puffed

A Tale of True Love.

Oliver Wendell Holmes once sent two
poetical letters to the "postoffice'' of an
Episcopal fair in Pittsburg, Pa. In one Of
them the first stanza was:
Fair lady, whoso'er thou art,
Turn this poor leaf with tenderest care.
And, hush, oh, hush, my beating heart,
The one thou lowest will be there.
Upon turning the poor lear there was
found a 81 bill with some verses beginning:
Fair lady, lift thine eyes and tell
If this is not a truthful letter;
This is the one SD thou lowest we'll.
And naught C) can make thee love Ii
better $50.

o WHERE, o WHERE Is HEP
And Miss Bouknight Wants Her Pet
Dog or $1,000.

Damages in the sum of 81 900 were asked
in suit entered in the District Supreme
Court yesterday by Miss Beulah Bouk-
night against the Atlantic Coast Line
Railroad Company.
The suit has grown out of the loss of
Miss Bouknight's pet fox terrier, Max
which she claims is of long pedigree and
worth fully the amount asked in the suit.
According to the plaintiffs declaration,
she was on one of the defendant COM
pany's trains en- route to Jacksonville,
Fla, and she bought transportation for
her dog. which was tied in the baggage
car. When she reached Jacksonville, she
said, the dog was missing.
She was informed it had been delivered
to some one in Florence, S. c. The best
efforts of the railway detectives have
since failed to bring to light any trace OF
the whereabouts of the animal.
George Curtis Shinn appears as attor-
ney for Miss Bouknight. The latter is
employed in the forestry division of the
Department of Agriculture.
