Dogs in the Great Storm.
Omaha Herald. |.

The recent storm upon the plains as,per-
haps, the most severe ever known. On the
morning of the storm two freighters, Mr..
James McDermott and companions, started
from camp Robinson for Sidney with their
teams. They soon were lost and became
separated, and last Saturday Mr.. McDermott
was found under the following circumstances:
He had wandered for twelve days, accom-
panied by two dogs, without food of any
kind, exposed to the storm day and night,
sleeping without shelter, or covering on the
cold ground, and had wasted away to 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 at
tention, and like shipwrecked seaman who
sees sail approach, but before it comes
within haiing distance 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 starvation. The COW BOYS
threw them some meat, but instead of eating
itthem selves, they picked it up in their
mouths, got on their trembling limbs, and
tried to carry it to their master. And thus
he was found. The fact that the dogs re-
fused to eat the meat given them, although
they we're dying of starvation, but attempted
to carry it too their furnishing master, is
testified to by men of unimpeachable vera
city. ss sre ss..s sss. rs.-s,zs,-.~
Mr.. McDermott was carried to Sidney,
where he is under care of the post surgeon,
with fair prospects Of recovering, although
badly frozen, while thesdogs have been cared
for af carnn mar. xuhoro %hox1 x,,oro found
McDermott, in his weak state, talks COM
stantlt Of his dogs, and begs for them to be
brought to his bedside, which wish will be
gratifed soon. Many things connected with
the great storm will doubtless long be re-
membered, and the stories told around many
campfire; but we predict that the one long
est remembered and oftenest repeated will
be the story of the two dogs who, when dying
with hunger, and the food in their mouths,
refused to eat, but tried to carry it to their
starving master.

Mondays business was fairly active, but al
though sufficiently strong tone has prevail
ed, the number of sales made since has been
decidedly limited. Some exception may be
made in favor of Calcutta wheat, which was in
better demand than the other varieties, owing
to the scarcity of good qualities on the spot,
and the impossibility Of stocks being replen-

has been afforded the trade by the continental
