cred himself, and ran off at great speed
i To preserve his head from injury, he
clapped both hands about his right thigh
y thus in part sustaining his body, whilst
his left leg swung Immediately behind

dragged three miles. The horse, in
the mean time, by repeated kicks, had
, fractured both bones of his leg, about
four inches above the ankle, and bruised
the leg from the knee down, into per-
4 feet Jelly. at the end of three miles,
; the horse becoming latigued, abated his
speed, and by severe efforts, the young
man succeeded in extricating his foot
from the boot, the latter remaining in
the stirrnp. He was dropped upon the
open prairie, three miles from any house
| 4 mile and half from a road, and in
such a fractured, bruised, and sprained
state, that ne was entirely unable either
. to walk or crawl.

back, he remained from Tuesday after
noon, Dec II, till Saturday afternoon,

zen, and the weather the coolest we
have had this winter, with snow upon
; the ground, which was increased to five
or six inches in depth by the storm on
, Wednesday, Dec ls. He took off his
overcoat and wrapped it round his broken
, leg to prevent Its freezing, but with lit
tie success, his left leg being frozen
above the knee when he was found, as
also his right foot, hands and ears.

neither ate nor drank anything. else
except snow, nor closed his eyes in
sleep. The small prairie wolves how
cred around him at night, but without
molesting him, though they approached
within few yards. During the day he
{ could see teams and men passing on the
public road, a mile and half distant
He exerted himself to the utmost Of hi:
, strength, to make himself heard by the
? teamsters, but without bringing any O
, them to his assistance. 1t was ia this
way that he was heard on Saturday, by
those who were hunting for him, 1t the
$ distance Of two miles, and by this meaa:
I he was found His efforts at halooins
1 had set his lungs to bleeding, and when
found, he had crims oncd the snow fol
several feet around him with blood
He was brought back to Quasduetor
and two weeks after the accident, blu
not until moriific alton had taken place,
his friends succeeded, after several un
: successful efforts, in getting surgeon
i to amputate the limb. He was still liv
ing, at the last accounts, but with little
hope of recovery.-Miner's Dubuque.
