SuccOred BIZ his DOGS.

From the Omaha Herald. ..,.
The recent storm upon the plains was,
perhaps,fthe most severe ever known.
On the morning Of the storm two freight
ers, Mr.. James McDermott aud .compan-
ion, started from Camp Robinson for
Sidney with their teams. They. soon
were lost and became separated, and on
last Saturday, Mr.. McDermott was found
under the following circumstances: He
had wandered for twelve days, accomp-
anied by two dogs, without food OF any
kind, exposed to the storm day and night,
sleeping without shelter or covering on
the ground, and had wasted away to a
mere skeleton To add to his sufferings,
one day he saw near him some cow boys,
but was too weak to call loud enough to
attract their attention, and, like a ship
wrecked seaman who sees sail approach,
but before it come within hailing dis
lance bears away again and disappears,
he saw them pass from him.. On last
Saturday these same cow boys heard a
faint barking or yelping like that of dogs,
and, following the sound, they came to
them. The dogs were also reduced to
skeletons, and scarcely had strength to
stand, being in the last stages of starva-
rion. The cow boys threw them some
meat, but instead of eating it themselves
they picked it up in their mouths, got on
their trembling limbs, and tried to carry
it to their master. Aud thus he was
found. The fact that the dogs refused
to eat the meat given, although they
"'cre dying of starvation, but attempted to
carry it to their furnishing master, is ties
titled to by men of unimpeachable We
racitv.
