ono tIme good iruends. , They were In the

came between them and net only broke up

ThOuGHT IT A DREAM AT FIRST.
One of the survivors was Emi Doulet t.
He " toils his experience among failIng bricks 3 :
"I was asleep on the second floor or the
saloon In the corer room. I was awakenell
hy the ceiling falling on me. I tel you I
was seared. At first I thought It was a
dream but I sean found that It was nol. t
when I found I could not move. I lay stl
for what seemed to me n long tme , when I
heard some one crying : 'Oh my God , my
chid ! ' I dil not knoW what had happenet
I could hear talking . but I eoulll not make
myself heard Several times I called out as
loud as I could. While r was lying there I
tried to think what It was that had hal J-
pened. I was dark and I could not sec nn ( - '
thing. I knew that It was thc ceiling that :
hal fallen and that was all. I
"After a while I tried to moyo and found
that by cramping myself Into I small a
space as possible I could breathe casIo
Then I heard Ramo one walkIng over me. I
called out antI hc answered me He provcd
to he a friend of mine named " 'lle Moms
\hn ho heard me ho told mo not to be I
afraid and that he would get me out In fve
minutes. Then lie weat away , hut soon came
back with some friends and they started
digging n hole over me.
"The ) worked fast and It did not tnlle
long to make a large enough hole to pull me
through. I do not remember much mnor 0 ,
for the straIn was so great tlat I was almost
uleolclous when they got mae out at td
anl
limelight mae over to this saloon. I am not
hurt except for .1 few scratches.
"I leow that Mr. Salathe kept some powder !
on hand In hIs store , but I do Dot know ho \v
mueh. I cannot Imagine how the ( powder
came to eXlllod Some people say that It :
was not powder that exploded , but I don i't
know or anything else In the house that
could have caused the ( wreck. I am ( -
lain that I was the only person on the second
floor of the saloon. I don't know how many
persons were sleeping In the second story
of the grocery.

I believe that thiro are a number of persons :

Then Barry demanded to know why the
prerogatIve or Governor Holomb had been
Infrlnell upon In the manner In which this
extraordinary proceeding was being con-
ducted. Senator \'atson. to whom the ques-
ton was addressed said that ho disliked to
post the genteman from Greeley on law
points , especially as there was no fee In
sight. But he would be good latured and
do so. He then descrIbed the process by
which the trustees were to be selected In
' cnfOrmit with what ho'undoratoolLlQ. . b c ,
