MANY PERSONS TVEEE INJUEED The Accident Occurred Between The Scales and Btonehouse List of Known Dead. . Port Townsend, April 11. A letter just received from Skagway, Alaska dated April 8, says: At about noon to day on the Chilkoot trail, between The Scales and Storehouse, at least 81 men met death and a large number of others were injured more or less seriously in a snowslide. The dead were crushed under an avalanche of snow and ice which came down from the mountain side upon the left side of the Jirail about midway between The Scales and Stonehouse. : A list of the killed and wounded, as complete as possible at the hour of writing, is as follows: Gus E. Zebarth, Seattle. Frank Sprague, Seattle. Steve Stevenson, Seattle. C. H. Harrison, Seattle. , VV. L. Riley, Seattle. E. D. Atwood, New York. O. Beok, Sanford, Fla. . L. Wei delein, Kansas City. : Mrs. Ryan, Baltimore, p John Morgan, Emporia, Kan. F. M. Grimes, Sacramento. ' Mrs. Anna Moxon, Jefferson county, Pa. .. Ras Hepgard, Baker City, Or. -.Atkins Idaho. . ; Tom Geffert, Seattle. ; " " E. F. Miller, Vancouver, Wash. Tom Collins, Portland, Or. ' T. Lamer. The. seriously injured so far recovered are: i Walter 'Chappey, New York. John C. Murphy, Dixon, N. D. F. M. Holbrooke, Portland, Or. . Dahlstrom, residence unknown. . Fully 50 people were overtaken by the Blide, and are either buried in the snow or scattered along the borders of the avalanche in a more or less injuied condition. . The point at whioh the acoident oc curred is Bome five miles above Sheep Camp. , The nearest telephone station is four miles distant. The Scales is some' five miles above Sheep Camp. The telephone wires at that point were carried away by the slide. This fact makes it difficult to obtain further par ticulars at this time. . A blinding snow storm was raging nil day upon the Bummit, and as a con sequence many of those In the vionity were making no attempt to travel Zebarth, Sprague and Stevenson, of Seattle, were traveling together as partners, and were found side by side in bed. Thousands of people were enoamped in the vioinity at the time, and were soon on the scene rendering such assist ance as was possilbe. Upon receipt of the news, points ielow Dvea telephoned up to know if assistance was required, and received answer to the effect that 5(000 people were at work on the debris, and were only in each other's way. All day Saturday and Sunday a southerly storm, with chinook wind, rain and snow, prevailed in this vicin ity, and it is believed the softening of the snow on the mountain side by those agenoies was the cause of the avalanche. The quantity of snow and ice that came down in the slide is estimated at thousands of tons. It swept directly across the trail, which, notwithstand ing the fact that the weather was un suitable for travel, (was thronged with wayfarers..: Tho last vestigo of the trail in the vicnity was wiped outf of ex istence,; and where it led is now a mountain of snow and ice. Later reports bring the information that 81 bodies have been recovered. 1 There was a preliminary slide at 2 o'clock in the morning. People were digging out their goods when the sec ond slide occurred about noon. 1,1st of Injured Increased. A later dispatch via Viotoria says: The horror of the Dyea trail is growing in magnitude hourly, As the work of rescue proceeds, it becomes more ap parent that many more lives were lost than at' first thought possible. It is now believed that between 50 and 100 men and women were killed by the avalanche. Many bodies will not be recovered until the summer sun melts tons of snow and ice that now bury them' from sight. Two or three thousand men are working in relays of as many as can stand side by side shoveling away the snow in search of the dead and dying. Twenty-two dead bodies have been re covered and identified, and 25 persons have been taken out alive. Seventeen .. employes of the Chilkoot Railway & Tram Company, who went to the summit on the morning of the slide to work, aie missing, and it is feared they are among the lost. It is estimated that 10,000 tons of outfits are buried under the snow and ice. There were smaller slides before the death-dealing avalanche was started. About 2 A. M. a small slide oocuried, whioh buried several cabins. The alarm was spread, and many people were endeavoring to work back to Sheep Camp when the big disaster occurred.

Later de tails received here today from Alaska increase the horror of the avalanche on Chilkoot pass, instead of lessening it. Sixty-nine dead bodies have been thus far reoovered, and the names of 150 missing persons have been reported as nnacoounted for. It is barely possible that some of these succeeded in cros sing the pass before the avalanche oc curred. A - conservative estimate is that between 75 and 100 persons were killed. The following is a list of those whose bodies have been iound: Andrew Anderson, San Franoisco; E. D. Atwood, New York; Albert Aug land, Taooma; A. D. Bissell, Seattle; C.

Many 9 poor leiiow lies Duriea wnere no iYnman aid can reach him, and where his remains must rest until the surjr mei sun melts the tons of snow and ice under which he lies buried. Upon the crowded trail no record was kept of the living, toiling mass, brav ing hardships and facing death itself in the mad rush for gold. In the pro cession that daily passed were people from all parts of. the world, unknown to one another. The work of rescue has continued night and day ever since last Sunday, being gradually systematized and con sequently meeting, with better results. Thus far the work. has been confined to the outskirts of the slide in the hope of rescaing those who are injured, but not yet dead. The main portion of the avalanche, which is estimated to be 50 feet deep and 150 yards long, has not yet been touched. If there are any bodies underneath they cannot be res cued in time to save life. . v Four men were taken out alive after they had been buried for 19 hours. In many instances the Bodies of the dead are not bruised in the leabt, and Appear as natural as in life, indicating that they were suffocated in the soft snow. " As Boon as recovered, the bodies are varried to Sheep Camp, where an im provised morgue has been constructed. Some have been removed for interment or for shipment to relatives in the States. , . The work of rescue has been orderly and systematic. A publio meeting was held and committees were appointed to search for the dead and care for the wounded. All that oan possibly be done to relieve the horror of the situa tion has been done. ' The aocident was one that could not have been foreseen, and it is one that is likely to happen at any time when like conditions exist,' although it is stated that some warning of the im pending disaster was given by the In dian packers, who are said to have de serted the trail when the heavy snow of Saturday and Sunday night set in. They refused to work for fear of slides. The work of searching for the dead is to bg oontlnued as long as there is any hope of recovering any one, though it is feared that it must be discontinued before the whole truth is known. Walter Chappey, of. New Yoark, and John C. Murphy, of Dixon, N. D., were alive when taken out, but died shortly afterward. : Mrs. Moxon was in one of the small slides whioh preceded the large one, and was on her way to camp when overtaken by death. Her husband was rescued. The federal troops at Dyea took an active part in digging out the dead. Many dead that were unclaimed have been buried near the scene of the dis aster. Thirteen bodies reached this oity today on the steamers City of Se attle and Australia. They were those of R. L. Easterbrook, S. Stevenson, J. R. Morgan, O. A. Uler, S. McNeil, A. F. King, Stanley Grimes, C. P. Harri son, G. F. Smith, L. Weidlin, Harry Holt, Gus Zebarth and F. Sprague. Advioes from' Skagway state that there are many wild rumors there about additional slides, attended by loss of life, but none of them can be confirmed, and they are not credited. Travel has again been resumed over the scene of the catastrophe.

It was a. combi nation camp stool, cane and umbrella. The cane was the usual form of the in vention. At a big parade nothing eould be more convenient, and for an ordinary, unexpected rainstorm, what could be better? A man is sure to have his walking stiok with him. It was not so long after the invention had been perfeoted that the man was out walking with his wife, and a sud den shower came up. There were no cars aocessible, and the only thing to 'do was to run, and the nnluoky pair did this with a vengeance, reaching the house hot, uncomfortable and pretty wet. ; - Well, we' are here at last," said the man, drawing a long breath of relief. 'Yes," said the wife, disconsolately, but I think I have ruined my new bonnet. And, John Smith," she added, suddenly, with a little scream, what do you think you have done? You had that old invention of yours cane-camp-stool-umbrella : affair in your hand all the time ready for an emergency, and forgot to use it." The man tells the story and thinks it is a great joke.
