The men were members of a logging party engaged to out timber for use in the mine. Owing to the depth of the snow they were unable to work on Saturday, but after leaving their bunk house they went to the timber they intended to cut, and it was while returning to the house that the avalanche overtook them and buried the entire party. An inquest was held this morning on the body of Jas. Wilson, one of the killed, and a verdict of accidental death was returned, after the jury had heard evidence of men wiio were in the rescue party. For some time past, the gang of loggers have been working iu the timber above the mine, getting out logs for use in tiie mine, but hist week it snowed so heavily that logging operations had to he suspended.

On Friday the snow had not slopped, and the men went only to the donkey engine house, about a mile from tiie hunk house, to repair the engine. At seven o'clock Saturday morning the men prepared to go to work, but the ramv was five feet deep on the level anil it was nut thought likely that any work would he done. The men decided, however, to go to the engine house ill order to ascertain whether nuy work could be done. After seing the depth of the snow they decided to postpone operations and return to the bunk house, and started back. F.iglit of the men lingered a little behind the other members of the gang, and ivere walking slowly down the hill, when, without warning, a huge avalanche came tearing down the mountain side and buried them beneath tons of snow.

The four men who were rescued alive were at once taken to the hnnkliouse and cared for, and the bodies of the four who perished were taken to Britannia and brought to Vancouver on Saturday evening. Mr.

II. It. Leach, general superintendent of the mines, came down with the bodies, together with some of (lie men who were not buried under the avalanche. Mr. Leach stated that the snow slide took place In on almost incredible manner, and swep' away all the heavy standing timber which it was thought, would protect the engine house, hut the tons of snow which came down the mountain side swept everything before it and crushed the timber into tinder.

WORKMAN KILLED AT M'KINNON BUILDING ALIAN DESPERADO Change of Venue In Steunenberg Trial Refused Takes Place At Boise Boise, Idaho, March 25.

Mannarlno Held Pursuers at Bay For Nearly Twenty rour Hours, Firing 80 Rounds of Ammunition From WinchesterBad Shooting Prevented Casualties Vancouver Boy Killed The inevitable shooting accident as the result of the freedom with which young boys are allowed to make use of tire arms along False Creek, on Saturday afternoon, when Clarence Maddams, aged l'S, sou of Mr. ('. C. Maddauis, of Seventh avenue, met his death.

The top of the unfortunate boy's head was blown completely off and death must have been instantaneous. In company with Itobert Little, the 12 year old son of Mr. Itobert Little of 384 Eighth avenue young Maddams went down to the shores of the creek in the early afternoon. It appears that Maddams was accustomed to the use of a shotgun and carried one with him in the hope of getting a duck. how the accident occurred is not altogether clear as the young boy was very rnuch excited after the accident, but it seems reasonably certain that Maddams had laid the gun down beside a large stump and that both boys took to stone throwing.

Then Maddams decided to take the gun and was drawing it toward him over the stump when the hummers must have struck nnd the gun was discharged, the shot flying past the Little boy, who had the gun at arm's length. Me says he turned nnd saw Maddams falling, and without staying to see how badly he was hurt took to his heels, beside himself with fright. On his way home hi met a friend to whom he reported the accident, and the latter, thinking that Maddams might be still alive ran at once to where the body lay. He found the top of the head completely blown off. In the meantime young Little had notified his father and the police were sent for.

Sergeant Mcintosh arrived shortly after and the body was removed to the undertaking parlors of Armstrong and Edwards. An inquest will be held this afternoon at 4 o'clock.

With that l'aul led the way up the hillside from the wagon road and presently manoeuvred so as to get his uncle in front of him. Hardly had this been accomplished when just as the older man was stooping to peer for the powder, his nephew fired right into his back with a 41 Colt. James Mannarino fell flat upon his face and his nephew stepped up behiud him saying that he would finish him, according to the story of the uncle.

Paul stooped forward, and placing the muzzle of the revolver nguiust his uncle's head, pulled the trigger. Presuming that this had given the quietus to his relative, Taul stepped off down the hill and coming back on the road went up to the ranch, thinking in ail probability, that it would be weeks, or months, before the body was found, if it ever was, in such a deserted and unfrequented spot, off the trails. Hut the second wound was not vital. The blaze of the powder hud scorched off all the hair close to the scalp behind and above the right ear and in the same direction the bullet had sped its way, cutting the scalp and raising a ridge alottf the side of the skull. As soon as he heard his nephew's die away, the uncle rose and crawled down the hillside to the railway, where he was found by some section hands who had been at work up the little used track towards Kuskauook.

These men hoisted their man aboard Jheir truck and brought him to Sirdar. A message was sent immediately to Constable Wilson, at Creston, 8 miles away, who hurried to the ecene, the eider Mannarino, on Wilson's arrival, and b' nself for some time, and as he was well armed, with plenty of ammunition, Constable Wilson, accompanied by three specials lent valuable assistance Charles Hull, Charles Quaiffe, and oKbert Keid went up to the ranch. By this time It was getting late at night but on Wilson's arrival, which was not attended by noise. Paul Mannarino, was still awake and about. Constable Wilson stole up to the window and looking in saw Paul Mannarino, "sitting with his head in his hands.

Instantly Wilson poked his rifle through the window, breaking it in the process, and shouted to Mannarino to hold up bis hands. Mannarino leapt to his feet, and at once flung up his hands. But in a moment he made a further leap into an inner room, seized his rifle and discharged it point blank at the constable, the bullet narrowly missing him. Wilson fired in return, but, missing his man, fell back. Mannarino ran to the window and discharged his repeater several tiraVs without effect.

Wilson and his men tooS cover around the house, shots being exchanged all through the night. If anybody rose to his feet it was the sigual for a bullet and when the morning brought light the specials lay close indeed. A coat hung on a stump was riddled with bullets. Early in the morning P. D.
