year by sending love missives to each
other.

that they are all right. The Nugget

NOME PARTY HAVE NARROW
ESCAPE FROM FREEZING
NEAR NUGGET ROAD HOUSE
Reports from the Nugget roadhouse
his morning say that a patty consist
ing of Lajo Wittenberg. Bob Rice and
native boy had a narrow escape from
eath In a blinding blizzard night be
, ore last and but for the timely ar
Ivnl of a native proceeding to the
i oadhouse would probably be now ly
| ng beneath a snow drift As It was
he little party spent the greater part
I f thirty six hours burled In the snow,
nable to proceed In the furious gale
. hlch tossed the snow' In blinding
heels and made even the dogs fnvlsl
>le to the drivers. Wittenberg Is re
'orted to be uninjured by his exper
^nce but Rice and the native are suf
ring from severe frost bites
Rice is said to be In particularly
ad shape and Is badly frozen on both
. ands and feet. The injuries of the
lative are confined to the wrists of
*>th arms and while painful are In no
iegree serious. Wittenberg Informed
the Nugget today that the party left
the t’. S. roadhouse Friday morning
at seven. There was a slight wind
blowing at the time which gave little
hint of the terrific gale that was to
arise Inter and obliterate everything
from view, compelling the party to
seek shelter In a snow bank to escape
Its withering fury.
Everything went well until shortly
after noon when the Wizard suddenly
boro down upon them in a hurricane
of driving snow and the party were
compelled to seek immediate shelter.
As traveling was out of the question,
the trio burled themselves In the snow.
There they remained all of Friday af
ternoon and night and the major por
tion of the next day.
In the Interval the wind continued
to blow with terrific Intensity and the
driving snow- prevented any attempt
to escape from their burrow-. Cold an
famished with hunger, the party re
mained in their uncomfortable quar
1 ters until Saturday afternoon when a
native came upon the travelers and
guided them to the roadhouse, which
wag only about a mile away. Arriving
there it wag found that Rice was In
bad shape and the native boy of the
' party was also frost bitten.
After trying to relieve the sufferer
with such means as the roadhouse af
forded, it was decided to telephone to
town for a team to bring him In for
medical attention. The marshal’s of
fice was called and Percy Blatchford
was sent out this morning. Wittenberg
says that the native will be all right
j but he is not sure that Rice will be
so fortunate, although he is not aware
| of the full nature of his Injuries. He
says that their esdipe wM providential
in every degree but for the arrival
of the native they would probably be
' in the snow drift yet.
PARLIAMENT BUILDING
OTTAWA, Feb. li.—Diligent lnvestl
gatlon has failed to reveal the cause
I of ths fire which destroyed the Csna
dlan parliament building and the au
thorities are as much a qnandary as
ever. Despite the statements that ex
plosions were heard shortly before the
outbreak of Are, it Is now commencing
to be believed that they could hardly
have had any connection with the Are
The ofAclals are working on many
theories but the riddle beems a long
way from solution unless an Intima
tion given out by a leading Dominion ^
official today may be accepted as fur
nishing evidence that the officials have
discovered more than they are willing
to admit. The official In question hat
hinted that chemicals thrown on paper*
In the reading room of the building may
be ths cause of the Are.
