SNOWSLiDEs KILL Z;
MASS SO FEET HIGH
Men in Cook House in Path of Mass
of Rocks and Dirt Go to Death
in Ignorance of Fate.

Grand Junction, Col. Jan. 25.-Four
men were killed and more than
score had narrow escape from death
from an avalanche of snow over the
Camp Bird mine at Ouray. The dead:
S. G. Douhitt, a veterinary.
Peter Synot, teamster.
George Knerr, a teamster.
John Wittwer, camp cook.
The four men were talking in the
cook house when almost without warn
ing thousands of tons of snow, rocks
and dirt swept down the mountain
side. The shanty was directly in the
path of the avalanche, and the men
were hurled into the canyon and their
bodies covered with snow. 1t will be
midsummer before the bodies can be
recovered.
Caught in the steep mountain trails
by the blizzard which ragged all day,
are eight siX-horse teams, the Camp
Bird bullion stage carrying $4,000 in
gold and many passengers. 1t is
path Of the slide and great anxiety
is felt Tor their safety.
The avalanche which swept the men
to their death was so feet high and it
came sweeping down the mountain
side with irresistible force. The men
working in the mine fed for their
lives, but the shaft building was not
in the path of the slide. 1t was close
enough, however, to tremble as the
avalanche rushed by.
One of the heroes of the disaster
is a large dog owned by Emil Johnson,
a teamster.
Johnson saw the slide coming and
made desperate effort to drive out
of the way. He was caught and
buried deep beneath the snow. The
dog had seen his master caught in the
avalanche and rushing at the snow
began to dig furiously. He kept at it
until he reached the buried man and
Johnson crawled out, none the worse
for his experience.
Bill Barber, a teamster, saw the
slide coming and unhitching one of
his horses, he escaped on his back.

inches.
