Fourteen Victims Of the Recent BIiZ-

News was received on the 5th, which
was believed to be reliable, that the
bodies of fourteen men were found
from point twenty-nine miles west of
Valentine to Gordon City, seventy
miles west in Northwestern Nebraska.
The bodies were found along and near
the new railroad grade. The dead
men are victims of the terrible blizzard
and are supposed to be those Of settlers

that seven bodies had been found.

greatly exaggerated.

The last report is generally believed,
though it is hoped it may prove to be
greatly exaggerated.
True Heroism.
The following story is told in the
Detroit Free Press of Louis Abear,
man who served as private in Mich
igan cavalry compcny:
AT the battle of Trevi]ians Station
he was taken prisoner, and before his
release be was confined in five different
prison-pens and two jails. We have all
read of the horrors prisoners under
went in the military prisons of the
South, but no pen has yet given an ad-
equate idea of the terrible privations
they we're obliged to face. The food and
quarters have been described in fitting
terms, but words cannot portray the
mental torture, the feeling of despond-
ency that soon became utter despair.
That alone carried thousands to their
graves. Imagine, then, the heroism of
the eelf-sacrifcing act of this rough and
uneducated man! Positively I cannot
look upon him without a feeling of awe
coming over me.
II cannot give you the date and
it is of no consequence, for heroic
deeds like this are not remembered by
dates. Anyway, while he was in Millen
prison an exchange of sixty prisoners
was to be made. The officer of the day
told off sixty names at the door of the
pen, but for some reason, probably be-
cause he was too i'll, or perhaps dead,
one man did not come forth. At that
moment Louis, who had been sent out
after fuel, under guard, of course,
came through the gate pushing q wheel
barrow loaded with wood:
Here, Louis, here's q chance for
you. We want sixty men to go North
and are short one. Jump into the ranks
here! exclaimed the officer.
To be exchaDged?' asked Louis,
trembling more than he did when under
fire.
eyes. Be quick
"'Then take Hank. He's sick, and
will die if he remains here and Louis
darted into the hospital ward. Hank
had pair of pantaloons and shoes, but
no coat or hat. Louis pulled off his,
put them upon Hank, and brought him
out, weak and tottering. As Hank fled
out of the gate and once more breathed
the air of freedom, Louis, hatless and
coatless, took hold of the handles of
his wheelbarrow and started for another
load of wood.
"Can mortal mind conceive of such
an act? It cost him seven months of q
living death, and all for q man with
whom he was not even intimately &C.
quainted.
@And now for the other side of the
picture. Even since the close of the
war, until few months ago, when Hank
died, these two men have lived right in
Wayne County, Hank with home and
family, Louis with neither; have met
occasionally, but at no time did Hank
ever refer to the act in Millen prison
that set him free and saved his life
never invited him to his home; neve,
alluded to the past, or addressed hil
savior other than as mere acquaintance
On bis death-bed, however, he told the
story, and asked his relatives, if they
ever had an opportunity, to befriend
Louis, for his sake. It was tardy &C
acknowledgement of one of the noblest acta
the world has ever known"

now offer you the former
style at $1.25 each.
We might possibly work
off the old style at the regu-
lar price, being about IS gar

other plan as bringing better
