The Experience OF a Man who Wandered
Six Days Over tho Prairie Without
Food.
The following letter from L. Hemphill,
wagon master Of Volin's train, who was
lost in one of the recent billiards. between
Pierre and the Hills, and travelled six DAYS
without food. was sent US by our Pierre cor.
respondent for publication:
ION the morning of the 9th we pulled
out from the Cheyenne river and
having gone within about one mile of Bull
creek discovered that we had left one OK.
SO 1 went back after him. When got back
to the river it began to storm 80 hard that 1
got uneasy about the outfit and started back.
When | got somewhere between the lakes
and Bull creek it was getting late, and my
pony being very tired l got off to
walk and was driving him. The storm
was getting severe and my pony turned oil
from the road and l began trying to catch
him. 1t was about 8 or 8 O'Clock when 1
caught him. l started back but could not
go direct against the wind, and 80 travelled
quartering with the wind thinking that I
would strike the road at or about Pinos
hill. But about / or 2 o'clock in the morn.
ing l found that l wa lost. I
travelled all that day and the next night,
and until the morning of the S,h, about 10
o'clock, before I began to have any know
ledge Of the country l was in. The pony
being completely worn out, I was forced to
abandon him. [ then knew the direction
to the road, but being 80 cold, and having
to face the storm, l was afraid to start and /
concluded my best plan was to keep down
the creek, Bad river, where there was plen.
ty of wood and water.
l started down the creek until the day of
the 18th, when l came across u herd Of
work cattle. Thinking that they had come
down from the road and had beaten a good
trail | thought by following that I would
be able to make it to the road. The sun
was about one hour high in the evening
when I took the trail, and at 2 o'clock the
next day l came out at Pratt e. Fox's ranch
at Lance creek holes-having been out
from 8 O'Clock on the morning of the 9th
until 2 o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th
without one mouthful to eat. 1 had plenty
of good warm clothing On and a pair Of
gum boots.
I did not suffer very much with cold, but
the boots would freeze on my feet and l
burnt one Of them pretty we'll up trying TO
get it of. Afterwards the SNOW would get
in and freeze in Jumps which hurt me very
much. Both Of my feet and legs to my
knees we're chafed completely raw. One Of
them is still very bad.
It has been reported by parties going
below that 1 was under the influence Of
liquor when l left Cheyenne river. That
most empha,icaily deny, and l want those
parties to understand that l am not dead
yet. l am 81 years Of age. Have lived a
camp life for 16 years, having travelled over
several different countries, but I never have
experienced such a time before. No one
knows but myself, nor ever will know what
| went through with.
Very truly yours,
IL. HEMPHILL..'

ton. Although purpor,ing to do the jour.

to this method Of travel ~ to prevent his
becoming perfectly familiar with the whole
country he visited aud the people he met.
In fact, TO accomplish this he, If We may
believe his story, (and who ever knew him.
to exaggerate?) risked his life in various
ways-voysgins down rivers on RATS, and
down mountains on famous glaciers; fitting
out extensive caravans for the ascent Of the
highest peak, of the Alps, and enduring
terrible fatigue in conducting them.
Awaiting himself Of the opportunity
offered. he devoted time to the study Of art,
and made mos, astonishing progress-as il
evidenced by the specimens he gives us of
his drawings. His acquisition and use Of
the German language is shown to be Won
derful. His researches in the fields of
bric-a,brac enable him to throw new light
OIL this interesting study /; and his experien-
ces in the musical world cannot fail to give
great value to his criticism.
With his eyes and notebook open, he
tramped along; mingled with other tour
lists, learned how they "do Europe" and
then struck out new paths for his foot
steps. The guide-books pass under his in
spection. and are subjected to his tests, and
put OH the defensive; scores Of marked
errors, heretofore universally accepted az
truths, are fearlessly questioned and expos

mingled in a most fascinating manner, and

since the Sand Lake Dam was Broken
hi Mills OF the Jim are Well Fed.
Maxwell, OAK, Jan Sd, 1ssO-Eds. Pres,
and Dakotaian.-In YOUR issue of Dec. 3lst
you say:
"sincs the breaking of the Sand Lake
dam, the mills on the lower James river
have water enough to run a portion Of the
time" and again, ut is nipand tuck with
them to supply the local demand for -four"
This item is incorrect. The four mills
have an ample supply of water to run both
day and night. In fact it is overlooking the
dams. When We consider what the condi.
tion Of this stream was last October, when
it was almost dry, and the fact that since
then, there has been no rain or melting of
snow, and that only aportlon of the Sand
Lake dam was taken down, are not the re-
Operative powers of the Jim wonderful?
We will not, however, speculate on the
cause. 1t does not matter how or whence it
comes, the water is here and keeps in an
abundant supply, to the entire satisfaction
of the millers of the Jim and their CUSTOM
ters. Yours,

Superintendent Gamble arrived from a
Sully trip Saturday night and reports mat

were a week or two ago when blizzard sue
ceeded blizzard and the atmosphere all but
CONCEALED under tie effects Of cold weather.
The snow has disappeared and the roads are
rather sloppy, though the dry soil is rapidly
absorbing the moisture. Between Pierre
and the Hills MI. Candles men have gone
through with hardships which seem
almost incredible. During the cold and
stormy period the mail carriers missed only
one trip and then it was utterly impossible
for man or beast to travel. AT other times
these faithful men have performed their
duties, though at times it has been like
facing death to go out upon the bleak and
storm swept p%rairies. Two Of the mail
carriers were badly frozen and one is now
at Fort Meade where he has undergone q
surgical operation of an exceeding delicate
nature as the only means of saving his life.
The other will probably save his feet,
though they are severely frosted.
Mr.. Gamble says that one of the freighte1s
on the Pierre line lost f,rty.two yoke Of
oxen In a single storm at the Cheyenne
crossing. His name we did not obtain. He
is a young man and had jus. started 10 bus.
iuess and had purchased his complement Of
cattle with borrowed money.
Mr.. Gamble made the round trip from
Yankton to Sully and return-fvc hundred
and fifty miles-in six days, leaving here
Monday morning and returning Saturday
night. This is the quickest trip he ever
made and is. We think, without parallel in
anybody's experience. Mr.. Gamble is the
hardest worked MAJ in Dakota, but his la
Dor counts-he keeps the stage line in per-
feet running order.
