Perils OF Prairie Storms.

~ ranchman who was in the city yes
terday states that a few days
ago a man was taken down with
smallpox at one of the isolated ranches
northwest of the city and was removed
to a tent set up on the prairie, Bill
Rowland being engaged to care for the
sick man. In the fearful storm which
prevailed on Tuesday and Wednesday
last, Rowland, who was well supplied
with whisky, INDUCED too heavily, was
taken with the tremens, and wandering
out upon the prairie almost naked, per-
ished with cold. His patient started
for the ranch to get some II to carr
for him, and he too, benumbed by cold
and blinded Icy the storm, sank down
and died. At last accounts the bodies
had not been buried, and a party
started out to inter them last night.

Those Terrible 'Tramps.

We thought the tramps whose doings
we have recently recorded along the
Union Pacific were pretty hard GUS
toners, but those who infest the Cen
trail Pacific are rather worse. As
Conductor Case's train pulled out from
Halleck station, Nevada, the other
night, he went between the mail and
express cars to dislodge four tramps
who had taken a position on the plat
forms. The train being in motion, he
attempted to signal the engineer to
stoop, but was prevented by the dead
heads, who pitched him off the plat
form. He landed in a ditch and before
he recovered from the effect Of the fall
the train had passed almost out of
sight. The train men missed him be-
fore reaching the next station, but as
there was no telegraph Office there the
train was run to Wells, from which
point an engine was sent back to search
for the missing conductor, who footed
it in the night to Deeth, where he was
met by the engine and taken to Wells.
He has sworn vengeance against dead
head travellers and will hereafter be
prepared for such gentry.
