VIOLA. Cal. June 1b.-Lance Graham,

yesterday by Mount Lassen and left for
dead by his companions on the slope of

and physicians said he had a chance
for life. He had broken collarbone and
crushed side. consciousness returned
to him today for the first time since he
was struck down in the first of yester-
days two eruptions. The mountain was
quiet this morning.
Graham and two companions, e. e.
Phelps and F. A. Triple. both sawmill
men. were overwhelmed in the. morning
eruption near the crater. Ashes shrouded
them in blackness so thick that they
could not see to flee or seek shelter.
Wrapping themselves in their coats, to
keep as much OF the sulphur fumes from
their lungs as was possible. they made
shift as best they might to endure the
peril.
When the shower of ashes ceased fall
ing and the air began to clear, Philip
and Tlpple could nowhere see Graham

fallen ashes, with a deep wound in one
side and apparently lfeless.

ging the body down hill a quarter OF a
mile. Triple and Philip. believing Graham
dead. left him sheltered behind q rock
and plunged on downward for aid TO

From Manzanita lake word was tele-
phoned to Reddlng for the coroner He
and an undertaken were sixteen miles on
their way before they could be reached
with the news that Graham was alive
and a physician, not an undertaken, was
needed.
In the meantime Philip got help al
Manzanita Lake from Herbert Meyers,
Frank Smith and Frank Schooling. young
men from Anderson.
The five climbed back four miles up the
mountain TO recover what they supposed
was Graham's corpse. They found him
covered an inch deep with ashes. but
when his features had been wiped clean,
they saw signs OF returning animation,
II was then o'clock in the afternoon
about six hours after the first eruption.
The five lifted, pulled, dragged. and In
open spots carried the helpless Graham

could get him medical attention.
Supervisor Rushing IL safe.

ing. United States forest supervisor, was
not injured in the eruptions yesterday OF
Mount Lassen.
He was not on the mountain. in fact, al
the time OF either eruption. and the re-
port that he had been mortally injured
grew out OF confusing him with Lance
Graham in reports over a faint telephone
wire.

Ten years later, Marion returns to
find that Mary has grown into gIo-
