Idaho World December 29, 1870
 Jimmy Hicks, aged seventeen, accompanied by a younger brother, started from 
Rocky Bar a short time ago on snow-shoes to carry the mail to Atlanta City. 
When about eight miles out from the former place they were overwhelmed by a 
snow slide, which carried them several hundred yards down the mountain, 
killing Jimmy Hicks. The younger brother escaped uninjured, but had his feet 
badly frozen in making his way home through the snow. A party immediately went 
out and recovered the body of the other boy, and took it to Rocky Bar, where 
the good Templars took charge of the remains and buried them.
