Strange Funeral Cortege
Winds It's Way Out
From Wellington.
FORTY EIGHT
ARE RECOVERED
Town is Threatened With
Another Slide Which
Would Repeat Death.

WELLINGTON, March 5.-A
strange funeral cortege is slipping and
sliding over the dangerous mountain
trail to Scenic today from where the
victims of the avalanche will be sent
to relatives and friends. The process
sion is made up of Alaskan sleds drawn
by men. On each sled, wrapped in
blankets, is one of the bodies dug from
the snow and shattered cars. In places
the trail skirts chasms where a false
step would send living and dead down
a thousand feet. The tracks may not
be open for ten days. The bodies, buried
in temporary ice tombs, had been un-
covered and the little Wellington de-
pot was so crowded with dead this
morning that survivors and rescuers
have often stepped on the hand or a
foot of a corpse in getting in and out
Of the telegraph office.
Seven undertakers are working
be a week before all the bodies are re-
covered The total number brought
out from the ruined trains is now As.
Four unidentified mail clerks were
found last night.
Bailett's hotel where everybody is
now living is pressed from the rear by
a gigantic drift. A new slide would
wipe out the town and everybody
here The danger is great. Thirty thou
sand dollars in registered mail, money
orders and personal effects has been
found The mail is being guarded by
government officers.
A fierce blizzard is raging and the
trail is getting more dangerous every
minute. The bodies of Engineer Jarn-
igan and Firemen Partridge were re-
covered today, making total of AZ.

BACA LAND OPENING
Large Nmbsr OF Laid Seekers II
LApnar All Week Securing

Thirteen il said to be an un-
lucky number but this did not de-
ter q number of enthusiastic Baca
county citizens from sleeping in
the entry way to the Lamar land
office on the night of Monday. De
cember IL. in order to be the first
ones in line to file on lands to be
thrown open Tuesday morning. De-
cember 18th.
In the morning when the doors
we're thrown open the line extend
ed down the stairs and quite a
way down on Main street. In all
there were over two hundred men
and women In line and many more
have been added everyday since.
The land office force. Messrs. Bent.
Whitaker and Cunningham. were
kept busy trying to accommodate the
zig rush which was composed Of
citizens Of Baca county and out
siders from Kansas. Oklahoma and
Texas, and many from the far
east. Quite large number came
from Chicago for the opening. 1t
recalled old times to the men who
were here in 'S7.
The seekers after land were
good natured although determined.
and arranged a system of number
ing by which they were enabled to
attend to other business matters
without losing their places in the
line. There were however. many
cases where two or more were after
the same land and duplicate filings
were made and host OF contests
will result.
This land was partially settled
up once before and withdrawn ow-
ing to faulty survey. 1t has been
resurveyed and many people have
been waiting for some time for
the day II would be again thrown
open. A large part OF 1t is in the
artesian belt,and is considered val
liable.
