PLUNGED TO HIS DEATH IN
SNOW SLIDE AT GUNNISON.

| Howard Marshall of Gunnison who is
a brother of Frank Marshall of Orch
ard Mesa, near this city, met his
death in a terrific snow slide on Italian
mountain near Gunnison last Wednes-
! day and the brother in Delta was noti-
| fled of the accident that might. He
departed for the scene on Thursday
and was in attendance upon the fun
eral services and burial last Sunday
afternoon.
II is uncommon for snow slides to
occur at this season of the year, ac-
cording to pioneers of the Western
Slope who have prospected and lived
in mountain districts for many years
and this fatal slide they say must
have resulted from some step which
Marshall had taken sufficient to loosen
and start huge boulder to rolling.
Details of the affair are best given
by last issue of the Gunnison News
Champion which are as follows:
Howard Marshall, an old resident
of Gunnison county, and a prominent
mining man here, was killed last We'd
nesday afternoon in a small snow slide
on Italian mountain. His body was
found at three O'Clock on Wednesday
morning by Alec Malemgreen who was
working with him at his mine, and
mine-z at the Star mine. His body
was brought to Gunnison Wednesday
night
On Tuesday noon Marshall started
out from his cabin near the Star mine
to stake a claim for SAINT Robinson of
Crested Butte. When he did not re-
turn at night. Alec Malemgreen re-
ported the fact to the men working on
the Star mine and a searching party
was formed. They followed his tracks
to the sldie. and going round on the
other side. found that he had not gone
further. They then, started the search
in the snow slide and at three in the
morning found his body under five
feet Of snow It is said that the slide
had run four or five hundred feet The
body was only slightly scratched.
The body was brought to Glasier
by a Star mine team and was met
there by Theodore Davis, his brother
in-law, who brought it to Gunnison.
Mr.. Marshall is a brother of Mrs.
Annie Downey, treasurer of Gunnison
county, and is survived by his two
daughters, Veta and Ruth, his father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. John Mar
shall of this city, another sister, Mrs.
Theodore Davis of this city. Jesst
Marshall of Des Moines. Iowa, AMI
Frank Marshall of Delta, Colorado.
His wife died nearly fourteen years
ago and his little son, Carl, has been
dead about a year.
Mr.. Marshall was born at Cairo. la f.,
December 10, 1858. He came to Gun
nison in 1881 and has resided here
ever since At different times he has
engaged in ranching, and has always
been active in mining. He has always
been a prominent figure in the mining
development of the county. Few men
have spent the time and money in this
industry He always had great faith
in the future of the county, and never
tired in his efforts TO let the people
know about the wonderful possibilities
here. He was we'll and favorably
known by all OF the old residents of
Gunnison county
