HEAVY TOLL OF
LIFE. PROPERTY
IN SN0WSLIDES
AT Least Four Are Killed by
80 AVaIanChes in
Colorado.

BIZ United Press
LAKE CITY, Colo, March IS. -
Snowslides on the western slope of
the Rocky Mountains in Colorado
have taken a toll of at least four
lives, marooned several villages, and
inflicted extensive damage to mining
properties and communication sys-
TENS.
Although the region is Sparsely
populated, fears were expressed to-
day that when all of the affected
area has been heard from, the toll
Of life and property may be even
greater
Except for few railroad tele-
graph wires, one of which was Lake
City's only contact with the outside
world, all the telephone and tele-
graph wires in the western and
southwestern part of the state were
tom down by the slides.
Thaw Causes Slides
Starting fro ma thaw that fol-
lowed an unusually heavy snowfall
over the weekend, upward of thirty
avalanches have crashed down the
mountains, gathering in their de-
scent rock and timber, and the win
ter's accumulation of snow on the
lofty peaks.
One of the slides struck the camp

camps two cooks. Despite the
danger from recurring slides they
liberated several men.
Then the men and women start
ed digging together at huge piles of
snow and rescued alive Gerald
Strayer and Erik Andersen of Lake
City. The men were unconscious
and almost frozen, but they will
recover.
Towns Are Isolated
The survivors next recovered the
bodies of four men who had been
killed by the slide. They are: w. S.
Wickersham, Montrose; A. S. Coler,
Denver; A. T. Johnson, Denver, and
A. G. Cutting, Glenwood Springs.
Zero weather impeded the work

MILDRED was glad to escape
1Y1 from the curious throng that
had followed them. But she did not
like the way the fur snatcher, who
sat beside the officer, facing them,
hicked his evil eyes over her figure,
She turned her glance from his ugly
face and sat over little closer to
the man next her.
"Why, there's a dreadful scratch
on your cheek" she exclaimed, and
her eyes flew back accusingly to the
other. His mouth twisted in evil
dence of some inward satisfaction.

Sorry, miss" the officer said;
you'll have to come along with lis
to the station and claim your prop

you'll come too," the officer said,
turning to a young man beside him.
Mildred had not, until then, looked
at anyone except the officer and his
prisoner. She recognized the young
man now.
did you catch him?" she asked
breathlessly.
"Of course" he answered to both
of them.
But how did you do it?" she
pressed as he helped her to make a
way through the crowd to the
street. Weren't you on the train?"
Couldn't have been if I caught
him, could I? Don't you believe
me?"
ooh yes, of course" The crowd
thrust them closer together. Mil

a tiny trace of usefulness. It would
have been nice to have inspired
heroism, she thought.

lied beautifully. He was asking
himself how the deuce he'd missed

peach of a girl he'd crashed into.
They had reached the street now,
in the wake of the officer with the
fur thief squirming in his grasp.

COUNTY'S FIRST
PRISON TRAIN
ON WAY NORTH
Eleven Men, Two Facing
Life Terms, Start for
Michigan City.
BY C. E. CARLL

I'm ROUTE ON MARION
- COUNTY PRISON TRAIN,
March 26.-With sentences of one
year to life facing them, eleven
prisoners we're on their way to In
diana state prison today on Marion
county's first prison train.
They joked chatted and laughed
during the last five hours of free
DOM" before they went through
the cell doors Of the big house" on
Lake Michigan.
The prisoners were loaded into
truck at the rear entrance of the
county jail this morning and taken
to the Union station, each man
nanacled to a deputy sheriff. The
decision to transport them to prison
by train came after a conference
between Criminal Judge James A.
Collins and Sheriff George L.
Winkler, who decided auto convey
ance would be "too risky"
Leave on MOnOn Train
The prisoners are riding on the
Monon train in a special coach that
departed from indianapolis at 7:45
a. m. At Hammond this afternoon
they left the train and boarded
a special car on the Lake Shore
electric lines that was taking them
to Michigan City.
Sheriff Winkler took precautions
to prevent Chicago gangsters from
making any attempt to raid the
party at Hammond.
Lawrence Oarry Ghere, a. Chi
cago, who pleaded guilty to the
charge of numbering Wilkinson
Haag, local druggist, at the Green
Mill barbecue May II, 1926, held
the spotlight. After pleading guilty,
he walked into Prosecutor Judson
L. Stark's Office and told his story
of gangsters and labeled himself a
diamond racketeer."
He even admitted that he has
been "sorry about the shooting ever
since it happened
With him was his pal, Rupert
Mcdonald, 81, also from Chicago,
found guilty last week by a Grim
inal court jury on a similar charge
for the shooting.
Pair Hold Conference
Mcdonald denied he was at the
Green Mill when Haag was shot
and Ghere, on the witness stand
and in Stark's Office, made the same
assertion.
For weeks Mcdonald and Ghere
have whispered to each other at
every opportunity and today they
had the chance to confer for sew
eral minutes.
Among the prisoners are James
H. Brown, James E. Burke and
Thomas Hindman, who drew long
terms for the $4,000 Pettis Dry
Goods store robbery Dec. 28, 1923
Brown faces two to fourteen years
on conspiracy, as does Hindman,
who also has a view to tWenty-one
years sentence for auto banditry
and conspiracy. Burke will serve
five to tWenty-one on a similar
charge.
Others in Car
Other passengers" on the journey
are: Thomas j. Bristow, vehicle
taking, one to ten years; Earl
Sparks and August Cummings, each
five to tWenty-one years on auto
banditry and burglary; James B.
Allen, one to ten years, grand lar
Ceny; Charles r. Pelham, forgery,
one to ten years, and Frank Rice,
one year. Secreting property.

JUST TROUBLED BABE"
Your problem is not unusual.
: Babe. 1t often happens that the
most interesting sweetheart is the
one a bit hard to win, the one of
whom you are not sure. The
reason goes deep down into
human nature. The unknown,
the unexplored always attracts.
This rule of human nature
sometimes suggests to girl that
the admirer she is not quite sure
of is more fascinating and in
teresting than love of which she
is certain.
Are you sure, Babe, that you
care for Jack? Or are you inter.
ested and fascinated because you
can't quite win him. According to
your letter, you and he differ in
temperament and continually ar.
gue-a poor basis for serious level
Are you quite sure he would not
bore you if you were sure of him?
In my opinion, my dear, the inn
pnrtant question for you is not,
Does Jack care?" but rather, DO
I really care for Jack?"
If you are positive he is the
sweetheart you wish, why not
take into account the rule of hu-
man nature I have mentioned,
that uncertainty is interesting.
Continue to he sweet and at
tractive to Jack. but do not let
him even guess that you love him
until he has earned your love.
To add to the uncertainty, go
about with other young men, not
as sweetheart, but as companion
and friend.
Does Jack love you? Frankly,
no; not yet! His jealousy proves
nothing. If he loved you, he
could not rest until he told you
so and secured your promise to
wait for him until YOU are old
enough to become engaged. He
could not conceal his feeling if he
really loved you.
Undoubtedly. Jack likes you as
a friend. Whether he will ever
care for you seriously, time will
reveal. Much depends on your
self.
Under these circumstances, can
you not continue to he attractive
and lOvable in his eyes and still
keep him guessing as to how
deeply you care?
