Children Buried Alive in Snow Slide

Last week the Grand Ronde Post mentioned a snow slide in Antelope Valley, in which four children were for a time buried alive. During the day, Monday, three of Mr. Presott's children and one of Mr. Hoard's were 'coasting' on a hill nearly a quarter of a mile from the residence, when a large mass of snow overhanging a high ledge of rocks nearby became loosened, and before the children were aware, all four were overtaken and buried several feet beneath the mass. Fortunately, Mr. Presott's dog, a faithful animal, was with them. On their disappearance, the dog commenced howling and barking, which attracted the attention of Mrs. Presott, her eldest daughter, and a hired man, who instantly surmised what had happened. They were not long in reaching the spot, where they found the faithful canine pawing away the snow. First one and then another of the children were uncovered, until all were exhumed, black in the face and all but lifeless. They were brought to, however, the first expression of one being, 'Ma, what made you wake me up?' and of another, 'Why don't you let us sleep?' Evidently they suffered but little, and were unconscious from the first.
