"1 58 Marooned Elk Hunters Rescued; Incredible Story Of Hardship Told POMEROY, Wash., Nov. 20 E, An incredible story of rdshlp and stubborn Ingenuity as told today a 68 elk hunters, marooned for ten days In the inowbound wilderness of the Blue mountains, arrived here safely after being rescued by a party using three rotary snow plows from the Walla Walla krmy air base. Casualties from the exper ience totalled one woman who suffered a heart attack, a man who contracted pneumonia, one man with a broken leg, one man with a ruptured kidney, and five pack mules which fell over cliff and were killed. Mrs. Minnie Boganne of Anatone, Wash., had a heart at tack, and was left at the Clear water ranger station. She will be brought out to Pomeroy later today. Names of the injured men were not immediately avail able. Raging Blixiard When a raging blizzard closed Jn on the mountain top where several groups of the hunters were camping, the groups band ed together and formed a pool of their supplies. Lester Riley, Snake river cat tle ranch owner, started out on horseback for Pomeroy to bring help. Fighting his way through snowdrifts sometimes forty feet deep, he finally reached Pome roy with his mount almost dead from exhaustion. There he ar ranged to hire for $600 a bull dozer to attempt to clear. the roadway back to where the rest of the hunters waited. It took three days for the machine to buck a path through the huge drifts back to the mountain top where 25 of the hunters' cars were snow-buried. All day Saturday the people Worked with shovels, digging out the cars, while food was . running dangerously low and had to be rationed. They final ly assembled the cars in a car avan and on Sunday morning started back towards Pomeroy with the bulldozer clearing a paUi ahead. Slept In Snow Sy Sunday night the party had made three miles. They slept that night in the snow, and huddled in the cars for warmth. Meanwhile, Governor Wallgren and Virgil Bennington, state game commissioner, had ar ranged with the Walla Walla air case lor inree army rotary snow- Plows which had started from omeroy, attempting to clear the road to reach the party. Late Monday, the caravan had travelled three more miles and met the snowplows and the army rescue party. During the last few miles of travel on Monday, - screaming sales of 70 miles an hour veloc ity blew swirls of freezing snow so thick the party could see only a few feet ahead. Frequently they had to leave the cars to get out and dig with shovels as the Cuuaozer labored up ahead. MulM Killed A string of pack mules carry ing precious provisions got off the road, and five of them plunged over a cliff and were killed. Two more mules were lost and when found later, one oi them was liat on its nacK weighted down by the heavy pack, kicking its legs out of a deep snowdrift. Both were saved. Members of the party praised Lester Riley for risking his life - on the trip for help, and like wise praised a negro muleskln ner, Otis Banks, who several times rescued people who had become bogged down in deep snow. J. C. Coleman, of Kelso, Wash., said "I wouldn't take a million dollars for this exper ience, but I wouldn't give two cents to do it again." "It was the most terrible thing I've ever been through," he added.
