SEARCHING PARTIES TO SEEK

Denver.-A special to the News
from Telluride says: The death toll
of the snowslides which now numbers
eight here and at Ouray, may be in
creased when it is possible for rescue
be isolated; cut off by the snow from
communication with this place.
B. F. Munger, well known here, is
reported dead in his cabin, two and a
half miles from here on Boomerang
hill, starved to death, unable to secure
supplies. He had been cut off from
rescue by an immense slide that came
down this side of his cabin and the
report is that he was found dead from
starvation when rescuers arrived.
Fears are entertained for the safety
of A. B. Cooper and Russell Foster,
who are at the Kitty Mack mine on
Butcher creek, as the building used by
them is in the path of the Butcher
creek slide, which may run at any
time, George Wagner, formerly county
clerk, lessee on the Alta mine, came
down from that property today through
the storm and was thirteen hours max
ing the twelve miles. He came in on
snowshoes, leading his horse. He en-
dured great hardships. More rescue
parties are being sent out
Mrs Cabel Collins, injured in the
slide which killed her husband and
baby, was so much improved Monday
that she was permitted to view the
bodies of her husband and child. She
tainted and had to be carried back to
her home. She will recover.
No one has been able to get to the
scene of the Mammoth slide because
of another slide a quarter of a mile
this side, which prevents anyone pass.

walked fifteen miles on snowshoes to
secure material to make repairs.
Train service is demoralized, and
the train at Ophir loop is still snow
bound. Telephone connection was re-
sumed Monday night and telegraph
wires have been repaired.
At Ouray a searching party has been
working at the Sneffels slide, which
killed four people, searching for the bo-
dies. That of Peter Synett is the only
one recovered. F. NJ Austin, the stage
driver, who was injured, was brought
down today and will recover. The
stagecoach, which went down in the
slide, was reached today and the $6,-
900 in bullion recovered. The bodies
of DR.. S. J. Douthitt, George Knerr
and John Wittwer, killed in the Camp
Bird slide, probably will not be dug
out of the snow until spring.
At Durango it is reported that train
service is practically out of business
in the San Juan. Two engines are
stuck ON Cumbres pass, cut off by
snowslides on either side.
Roy Ely and c. p. Foreman, tele-
phone linemen, who left here for Sill
verton Tuesday, to clear toll lines,
were lost in binding snowstorm and
had to spend night under bridge.
They suffered considerably and on
Monday reported from lockwood that
they were alive, but exhausted.
