In Hydo Purl; I today thcro Is great sorrow and I mourning n account o two of our flno young mon having been sudden-I sudden-I ly and without warning taken from our midst and called home to meet their Maker. Thero aro somo lnac-I, lnac-I, curacies concerning tho mattor as ' published in tho Desoret News. Tho I young man Marvin Dalnes aged 21, I son of Joseph B. Dalnes, and Appy I Woolf, aged 29, son of Isaac Woolf, had been working about thrco miles I east of Hydo Park In a mlno. About H a week ago they ceased work as tho H snow becamo vory deep and was al-H al-H - so dangerous. They had been camp-I camp-I lng In a tent at tho mouth of Bogus I Knock's canyon, and in a placo where I it was thought thero was no danger H at all. On Thursday January 27, tho I two young men with Dolmar Dalnes, I started up to tho tent with a team to bring down their bedding nnd oth-I oth-I cr things. Tho snow was so deep I tliat thoy could not roach tho tent I with tho team. Mervin and Appy told H Delmar ho could go back homo and H they would go on up nnd probably H stay all night and como down in the H morning bringing what things thoy BJ could. Thero being a stovo, food, H and coal thero, they thought, of Hj courso they would bo all right HJ Tho night was a fearful ono, ns J also was tho next forenoon. An the Hj boys had not returned by noon, Mr. HJ Joseph B. Dalnes became alarmed, H and with his son Dolmar, mounted m horses and went up tho canyon. As ' ,M they neared tho tent thoy were hor- jjf rifled 'to1 find rinow slide had come down the hillside1 and had" partly H burled the tent. Tho south end tent H pole and south part of tho tent was H (till standing. Tho north sldo or tho H tent was down and tho bed hetnc H east and west was covered with H about four feet of hard packed snow. H Mr. Dalnes and his eon hurriedly H shoveled enough snow away to find H tho bodies, and to assure themselves H that tho boys were dead. They thou H' hastened homo with tho sad "rtiws. H In probably less than an hour aft- H er tholr return, thlrty-nlno men and H boys horseback arid with four span HJ of horses on two sleighs, wero on H their way to tho hills. After some H hard digging thoy found tho bodlos H lvlng each on tholr left Bldo, cold in H death. Tho tent was nrossed hcav- H Uy upon tholr faces by tho weight H of tho snow and thoy doubtless died H from suffocation. About 9:30 o'clock H nt night tho bodies wero brought in H to town. Thero was not a hono bro. ken and tho bodies wero only light-II light-II ly discolored, H There will bo a double funeral hold tomorrow at 1 p. m. Tho sympathy H of tho wholo community goes out to tho bereaved parents, and tho young wlfo of Mr. Woolf, who la loft with H a young son, ono year old. Mr. Joseph Dalnes has surely seen H much sorrow tho last few years. He H has burled two wives and suffered months from lung trouble, contract- oil whilo on a mission In England. |
