AVALANCHE DEATH
TOLL GROWING
Eighty-Four Great Northern
Passengers and Trainmen
Among the Victims
.RESCU|NG PARTY IN DANGER
Warm Winds Accompanied by
Frequent Showers Work
ing Havoc.

Everett, Wash, March st is now
almost certain that the death toll
in the avalanche that carried away
two Great Northern trains and seven
steam and electric locomotives near
Wellington, will total "a. Few believe,
that any of the 81 listed as missing
will be found alive, for now more
than forty-eight hours have passed
since they were buried beneath tons
of snow and ice and twisted wreckage.
The rescuers themselves are in a
perilous position for the danger from
snow slides is still great. Warm
winds, accompanied by frequent show
ers, are working havoc with snow and
frequently avalanches are seen shoot
ing down the steep slopes OF noun
tains. Rumors were current last night
that one of these avalanches had over
whelmed relief parties, but these can
not be confirmed, as wires are all
down
Scenes of Indescrbable Horror.
ic bring back remarkable tales of hero
ism displayed by survivors H. P. Pur-
cell and Ira Clary, two conductors,
who eXtricated themselves unlnjured
from mass of snow and wreckage.
They worked several hours endeavor-
ing to release less fortunate victims.
When the two men crawled out OF the
snow they were barefooted but found
Purcells shoes and socks. Clarey put
on the socks and Purcell the shoes and
together they dug in the snow for the
injured w. R. Ballet, who keeps a
hotel at Wellington, was besieged by
a score of half naked, bleeding men,
who asked for clothes to wear so they
might go back in the cold and join
the rescue work. The first intimation
that the passengers had of danger was
Tyhen the snow swept down upon then
Land lifted the cars bodily into the all
and then dropped them over a preci
pice. Ray Forseythe says that five
women and seven children were in his
car Three women and two children
escaped. 1t is believed that others
perished. A storm was raging and
the lightning flashed necessarily at
the time of the catastrophe. The
rescue work was done by the glare
of lightning. The exact number OF
dead will not be known until the
snow, which is more than forty feet
deep in the canon, has melted. The
rescuers are digging in the snow and
wreckage and report finding the dis
imembered bodies severed of hands
and arms. Frequently the first init

THIEF STEALS
STRYCHN|NE
Also Valuable Collection of
Photographs From S. S.
McKibbin
OvERLOOKS PRECIOUS POTTERY
Of Cliff Dwellers But Takes
Modern Dishes of Little
Value.

S. S. McKibbin, an old timer who
has been on the Santa Clara Indian
reservation and who has been sick
with stomach trouble at the hospital
here, stated today that while he was
i'll some one broke into his room on
buTo alley and ransacked one of his
trunks. These are the things that are
missing:
A good sized bottle containing
enough strychnine to wipe out a regi-
ment
Photographs of the Puye cliffs.
Valuable pictures of noted Indians.
! Knives, forks, dishes and quantity
of fire wood.
The thief evidently was of a prac-
tical turn of mind and was not curio
connoisseur for he overlooked two
pieces of pottery of the cliff dweller
period which Mr.. McKibbin considers
so valuable that he has declined to
| sell them. Near the pottery was a
spoon made, it is believed by archae-
oIogists, by the cliff dwelIers and it is
considered one of the most interest
! ing of relics of the period when men
! had to use crude utensils in their
kitchens and dining rooms The
spoon, the handle of which is slightly
broken is large one and evidently
constructed in sections, which did not
| fit very evenly.
The thief also overlooked a SIPS
shot gun which was concealed be-
! lily or two will not be wiped out by
taking this strychnine which, of course
looks like quinine," said Mr.. McKib-
! bin today. The bottle was labeled
| lstrychnine, however, and anyone who
can read will doubtless recognize its
potential possibilities"
| Mr.. McKibbin says that the thief
evidently used skeleton key to get
into the room which he had securely
locked before he went to the hospital.
He has decided to leave his va1uables
in the house of some friends and the
pottery and unique spoon he will like
| ly ask the archaeological society here
| to keep for him. He has already Civ
en- the society some valuable pieces of
pottery he has found while living in
| the cliffs.
Native of New York.
Mr.. McKibbin is a tall, spare man
with a long white beard and is a ma
tive of New York. He formerly lived
within few miles of Hornell, Steuben
county and came out to the middle
west forty years ago. He has been in
and near Santa Fe for nearly quar-
ter of a century and took up 240 acres
for ranching. For four years he has
lived out in the Puye cliffs and be-
came greatly interested in the relics
jfound. He has been working on the
Santa Clara Indian reservation and
will probably go back there as soon
as he becomes better.
Mr.. McKibbin today called on a
number of curio collectors and dealers
asking them if any one had tried to
sell to them a series of photographs
which he had spent years in collect.

Senate committee on territories for
tomorrow, to consider in executive

fight the bill or to use it as a buffer
to prevent other legislation demand

make political capital are disposed to
do all in their power to defeat state
