THREE OTHERS CAUGHT,
IN BIG SNOW SLIDE
Valdez, Njv. 5—Robert Martin was
killed and E. S. Bruner, Warren Nel
son and John Connoliy narrowly escap
ed a similar fate when a snow slide
carried them and their tent down a
steep mountain grade on Mineral creek
and the victims were buried beneath
tons of snow.
Bruner was the first to make his
way out uf imprisonment, and proved
himself t he hero of the tragedy. With
t he aid of part of a whiskey flask, which
happened to be within bis reach, he
.patiently dug himself from the weight
of snow and tent wreckage, which pin
ned him down, and gained freedom.
He was beneath the mass for one hour.
In a nude condition, his clothing hav
ing been torn from biiu by the terrific
force of the slide, and bis hands badly
cut by the glass used in effecting bis
escape, Bruner walked a quarter of a
mile to a tunnel, procured a shovel,
and hastened to the relief of his help
less com rubes.

at bis task of mercy and first reached

to release the remaining men. While
one nude man worked at shoveling,
the other sought clothing, and soon
both had enough to shield them from
the cold, which was intense. John
Connolly was next found. He was
alive, surviving an imprisonment of
seven and one-half hours.
The slide occurred while the men
were sleeping in their tent, late Satur
day night. The work of rescue contin
ued without ceasing until late Sunday
afternoon, w hen Mart in, cold in death,
was found. His body was badly crush
ed and the injuries sustained undoubt
edly earned immediate death.
It was found that the slide had car
ried the men to within ten feet of a
one-thousand-foot precipice.
The victims were employed on the
Big Four gold quart / property, at an
elevation of live thousand feet.
