The Survivor Tells of His Frightful
Descent of I’lke’s Peak.
From the Colorado Springs Gazette.
Joe Bradley, a miner and prospector of
Cripple Creek, was brought into the city
from Cascade yesterday in a half-frozen
condition, after undergoing a series of
hardships and accidents on Pike's Peak
In which he nearly lost his life. He was
caught in a snowslide, or avalanche, to
gether with a companion whose name he
docs not know, and was carried down the
mountain side at the rate of fifty miles an
hour uniil he was hurled against a large
stump. Crippled,severely bruised,and near
ly frozen, he remained unconscious tor sev
eral hours, nnd was finally rescued by a
prospector who lives in a cabin on tho
mountain side. Bradley's companion could
not be found after the fearful plunge, and
it is thought that he has perished.
Lying In his lied with hands and feet
bandaged. Bradley told the story of his
awful experiences while endeavoring to
reach this city from Cripple Creek by way
of Pike's Peak.
“I started out from Cripple Creek for
Colorado Springs last Friday noon," said
Bradley, "and as I had some business at
the Strickler tunnel I thought I would
climb over Pike’s Peak and then walk
down the c g road into Manitou. At Gil
lott I met a man whose name I do not
know, nnd as he said he wanted to secure
work at Lake Moraine, I invited him
accompany me on my Journey. The day
was a beautiful one and I did not antici
pate any trouble.
"We climbed the Peak from Gillett, and
experienced no diflicutly in ranching the
western end of the Strickler tunnoll. We
then climbed on nearly to the summit,
but as we did not know the trail and the
snow was so deep we wandered away from
it. We climbed to the top of an eminence
and were discussing the best way to pro
ceed, when suddenly it seemed as if the
entire side of the mountain was falling.
We realized that a snowslide had occur
red, and we were caught by it. but we
could do nothing. I lost sight of my part
ner in the b.inding snow, and though it
must have been a very short time before
I struck the big slump, yet it seemed an
aee.
'“The avalanche shot down the mountain
side at a terrific rate of speed, and when
I struck I lost consciousness. When I
regained my senses, which must have been
several hours later, I saw a small cabin
a short distance away, and started toward
it. I found that I could not walk, but
managed to crawl to it and summon as
sistance.
"I was taken in the cabin, bruised,
bleeding and half frozen. I must have
lost a gallon of blood by a hemorrhage,
and was too weak to walk. I remained in
the cabin all day Saturday and was kind
ly treated and eared for by the prospect
or, who searched faithfully for my com
panion, but his body must have been
buried under the mass of snow, as no trace
of him could be found.
“The prospector went to Gillett for as-,
slstnnoe, and returned with Mr. Fred
Harding, the marshal of that place. They
started with me Sunday morning for Cas
cade, and there I found Dr. White, who
brought me to this city.
"I suffered terribly from the biting cold,
and thought that I could never reach the
prospector’s cabin after I regained con
sciousness. At one time I prayed that I
might die.”
Bradley talked at random, and seemed
like one whose mind was affected by the
sufferings which he had evidently under
gone. His hands were swollen and his
ears nnd toes were entirely devoid of feel
ing. Dr. White ssys lie will recover, but
he may lose some of his members.
lIOYfS BRAIN EXPOSED.
Hemnrknhtr Survival of n I.nil Who
Has Lost Half Ills Forehead.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Canal Dover, Pa„ Dec. 25.—Charles Sny
der, the 17-year-oid son of George Snyder,
who was kicked by a horse last Wednes
day, is still living, despite the declaration
of three physicians that he would live
only a few hours after the accident. The
case is attracting the attention of the
medical men of Ihe county.
The horse’s hoof crushed In n portion
of the skull above the left eye, over two
Inches square, and with the kick the boy
became unconscious. When the pressure
on the brain was relieved by the removal
of the bone, which was taken out in
pieces, the lad regained consciousness, and
now his mental faculties seem to be as
alert as ever.
The brain over the expanse of at least
half the forehead Is bare and exposed to
view. It Is now thought that the boy will
recover, and if he does the physicians
will put a metal plate over the opening
to protect the brain.

With Bullets of Gold—Then It Blew

From the New York Sun.
"No,” said the man, sluing listlessly on
j the pier, as h? puffed away languidly
enough at a pipe of peculiar shape. "No.
I ain’t got no heart to splice myself to
hope and go to the Klondike country. Nor
no other country, for that matter, except
I git a job that takes me there and pays
me for it by the month regular. Course,
I understand how a man might full down
a well and come up with a bucketful of
gold, but I ain't the man. That kind of
luck Is meant for somebody else. Once,
though, there wasn’t any kind of a snap
that I wouldn't undertake; but since the
setback we got in the Pacific ten years
ago next March I ain’t had no wind in
! my sails to speak of and I don’t so much
| as keep a lookout now to see which way
we’re goin’. If there’s land ahead, all
right; and if there ain’t, ail right just the
same.”
The man sitting on a bag of peanuts ad
joining the speaker asked a question.
"Didn’t you ever hear of that?” said the
man in response. “I thought everybody
knowed what a blow I got out there. Of
course, I’ll tell you if you'd like to hear
It happened down in the Pacific somewhere
—about 150 degrees west. 2U degrees south,
where the sea’s as full of islands as a
yeller oog is of fleas, and. as I said, Just
ten years ago comes next March. I wasn't
in the sailor business exactly, being •*
trader on the seas instid of a navigator,
and, havin’ a friend in Auckland, New
| Zealand, who liked my style, he fixed me
I up with a sailing vessel and a crow of
ten men and a skipper, and we went sail
ing around among the islands of the archi
pelago looking for bargains, as it were.
“I guess we’d been splashin’ around in
the water for five or six weeks or such a
matter, and doin' like Riley did with the
hotel when one night the weather thick
ened on us, and by midnight there was a
wind a-blowin’ that would take Ihe hair off
of the head of a barrel, and we were skin
nin' before it like a scared dog. By morn
ing there wasn’t any land in sight, some
thing that don't happen often among ail
them islands scattered everywhere, and
cur boat was makin’ about forty miles a
minute, and tearin' up the water worse
than a bull in a ohiny shop.
“Along in the afternoon the wind laid
down a bit, and when we sighted an isl
and off our weather how we kind of beat
up to it, or whatever them sailor fellers
called ii, and we got in under the lee of
it and found a little harbor that looked like
it might afford us enough protection to
make some repairs after the wind had got
done having fun with us. There was a
Chance, too, that we might find a bargain
in something layin’ around waiting for our
arrival.
"It was dark by the time we got In and
we couldn't tell much what kind of a place
it was. except that it was rocky and
mountainous with a smell like a dead vol
cano, and it seemed to be big enough to
accommodate a good many inhabitants.
We anchored about 300 yards from shore,
and though there was still more wind than
we cared to have it was not so had but
that we could keep the schooner where we
wanted her.
"There wasn’t any signs of life on the
island that we could see, but there was
plenty of good water and nice fruit, and
the boat that we sent off as soon as we
got settled brought back not only fruit
nnd water, but an animal that looked as
near like one of our rabbis as anything
* quid look, ai:d that tasted the same way.
We had about got ready to turn in, say
at 9 o'clock that night, when we heard
voices of people on shore yelling in some
queer language, that none of us under
stood. The people didn’t seem to like us
bein’ there, though, that was plain enough,
nnd we began to send word to them that
we were al! right, and if they didn't want
u- we would get out as soon as the weath
er would permit. It didn’t sound that
way to them, likely, for at midnight they
had filled the shore and had fires burning
all along. We could see they were black
and that they didn't wear any more
clothes than was needed, and that they
were armed with bows and arrows and
spears and a few old muskets like most
of them native have. The sea was too
rough for them to try to get at us it.
boats in the dark, so they took it out in
s'ingin’ stump speeches at us from the
shore.
"That’s what they slung at first, but
when we began to yell back at the howlin'
devils they changed their tactics, and along
about 3 o’clock in the morning they let off
one or two of their old muskets with a roar
that sounded like war times. We give
them the laugh on this, but pretty soon
they got the range, and the first thing we
got .scriqps about was a shot that went
through our first mate and buried itself
In the foremast. They were ounce balls
that were cornin’ our may qver the waves,
and every time one of them hit the ship
it sounded with a dull thud that meant
business clean down to the bottom of the
sea. After the first fifteen or twenty
shots, I don't think they ever missed our
boat again, hitting either in the hull or
the rigging, nnd six of our men got a bul
let through them somewhere. We got
out on deck with our gur.s and banged
away ten shots to their one, but they had
the whole island to hide In, while our boat
was the only thing they could hit except
wind and water, so they counted more than
we did.
“All the time the shooting was going
on our skipper was trying to got the ship
headed around so we could escape as soon
as light came, for we would soon be in the
soup, we knew, if them natives ever got
their boats out and surrounded us. Our
crew was crippled, and it was a hard job
dodging bullets and working ship, but we
managed somehow, and just as soon as
there was a bit of light to show us how
to keep off the rocks we caught the wind
that was stiil blowing a gale and let her
go right out to the open. We wont like
lighting, too, and the gale got to boa
hurricane, and we lost three
men trying to do something
with the satis, and then we lost the

thing to be done but for us to get out our
lifeboat then and pull over to the vessel
that was there to save us, and we done
so as soon as we could. But it was an un
lucky day for the skipper, for as he got
into the boat he lost his balance and went
headforemost into the water. I tried to
make the Chinyman go in after him, but
the heathen tvouldn’t, and as I couldn’t
swim, I dasen't, so the poor skipper was
lost. Thet left the Chinyman and me.
and we got safe aboard the other ship,
where we had good care.
"We didn’t loose our ship, though, for
the stranger was out of repair herself, ow
ing to the b'ow, and, as the wind settled
that night, she lay to to fixenp a bit. The
next day, seein’ our old schooner bealln’
around In a mighty lonesome way, I asked
the captain if I couldn't have a boat
and a crew to go over to her and get out
my valuables. He let me have it, of course,
ar.d when we got on the schooner's deck
and begun to look around we found on
something that I haven't recovered from
yet. I noticed first in a broken timber a
piece of yellowish-lookin' metal that seem
ed kind of natural, and, goin’ closer to
examine it, I found it wasn’t nothing more
or less than pure gold. At first I couldn’t
understand how it ever got there, but a
little further study showed me that it was
a bullet, and that it had been shot there
by them dern natives back at that island.
“That put an idea into my noddle, and,
not sayin’ a word to anybody, I slipped
around and found another bullet hole in
the stump of the mast that was left. I
dug into it with a hatchet and found an
other gold bullet. Then I chased for an
other and found it lower down in the
mast, and soon dug out my third ounce.
By this time the men with me got onto
what I was doing, and made me tell them
what I had found. You ought to have
seen them after that. It was worse than
a rush to the Klondike, for, in a minute,
every man had out his knife chasing bul
let holes all over that deck. They dug out
all they could find and then went over the
side of the ship that had been next to the
shore. I was doing my share at it, and as
I had the hatchet I could do faster work
and got out something like thirty-five bul
lets, the rest of them getting from twelve
to twenty apiece. In all, about 150 ounces
was dug out of the wood, for the bul.ets
run some heavier than an ounce apiece.
The worth of the lot was $3,C00 when we
finally got to San Francisco where we
turned it into the mint.
“We got back to the other ship as fast
as we could, and I told the captain about
our find and what it meant to us all if
we could get to the island and open up
negotiations with the natives. It was a
plain case that they had gold as most
other people had iron, and they used it
for bullets, and that night they must have
shot away $5,C00 worth, counting what
went into our timbers and the men that
wo lost. Nobody could tell how much
they had fired at game and other natives
all their lives, and there wasn’t nny rea
son for believing that the island wasn't
full of it and the fool natives didn’t know
any more what it was than to trade it off
to us by the boat load for any trinkets we
might take along with us. It was a bo
nanza and no mistake, and the captain got
as enthusiastic as I was, while the men
were plumb crazy.
“But what’s the use talking? I wasn't
born with a gold island in my mouth, and
when it comes to getting back to that
one, I couldn’t pilot a ship there worth a
cent. We sailed around looking for the
dern thing for a month, when the captain
couldn’t stay no longer and then we went
on to San Francisco and got a ship and
come back on the quiet looking for it
again. No good; no good. We Just
couldn’t find it. I made another try for
it two years later, and then I went off
on a three years’ trading trip through Chi
na, and I just got into New York four
days ago. I ain’t got no heart any more,
but I ain't old enough yet to quit, and if I
live till next year Frit going to make an
other try. It's got to be the same thing
though. No Klondike or any other strange
gods. That Island is for me or I’ll die
lookin’ for it.”
Reflections ot a Bachelor.
From Ihe New Y'ork Press.
At 30 marriage is the wine of life; at 40
it’s the morning after,
iA man is quiet when he's dead; a wo
man is dead when she's quiet.
Every woman is a mirror of her bosom
friend to her husband and a mirror of her
husband to her bosom friend.
The first sign that a woman is beginning
to feel her age is when she hunts up all
the baby pictures of her children.
Half a woman’s pleasure in buying a
pretty pair of stockings cheap is spoiled
because she can never tie perfectly sure
they won’t crock.
When you see a girl's eyes look as if
she had been crying she has generally met
with some great grief, or else she has
just had her bath nnd couldn’t find her
silk starching bag.
Fitzsimmons Huy* n Lion.
From the New Y’ork Times.
Chicago, Dec. 25.—"80b” Fitzsimmons
has bought a Christmas present for him
self. It is a ten-months-oid lion, which he
purchased at a lake front zoological show
for $1,900. After buying the queer pet the
champion tripped over to a hardware store
and procured a chain. He also ordered
five quarts of the best brand of bay rum
with which to lubricate the beast’s tawny
hair, and a chiropodist was engaged to
pars Us claws to less dangerous propor
tions.
Fitzsimmons has been sighing for a lion
ever since the one he used to own met
with sudden death in Cleveland a year
ago, while playing with a ljve electric
wire.
