Show Big Cottonwood Snowsliae. Whei. mail carrier Sol. KimbIl left Big Cottonwood canon, yesterday morning, none of the bodies of the victims of the recent heavy Bnow-alido Bnow-alido had been recovered, though much Bnow had been shoveled by the men from the Prince of Wales, Wellington, Well-ington, Stellar and other mines in that vicinity. A party of twenty men, under the direction of Robert Ogdcn, have gone to the scene of the catastrophe, prepared to search till the bodies are found. Mr. Ogden lost four horscB, and two of hia employes em-ployes were killed by the alide. Mr. Kimball visited the place on Friday evening, and represents the extent of the avalanche as even greater than it was at first said to be. The slide, . he say3, ran for a mile and a half, and was but little short of half a mile wide. Ho found Mr. McConnell recovering very fast. Thero is now no danger of his dying. Charles Drabble, one of the victims, leaves a wifo and seven children. W. C. Bitter leaves a wife and seven children. Tho Herald was correct in ita first statement of the names of the killed. It wm afterwards asserted that FerguBon, not Breeze, was one of those who were buried, but it ie now known that Joseph Breeze is the man's name. Since tho big snowslide, soveral smaller ones have occurred in the canon. In one of these Messrs. Har-man Har-man and Sessions narrowly escaped being killed, and it was reported that they had been lost, but they have smco put in an appeh ranee all right. The excitement in tho canon over ihe recent sad catastrophe has not died out, and a feeling of insecurity is everywhere manifest. |
