BAKTLsrT, Feb. 2.-This morning
about z o'clock Mr.. Bollar, II farmer liv.
ing about half mile out Of the limits Of
this town, was startled Ivy the intelligence
conveyed to him by Frank Carlson that
his brother, Conrad Carlson, was almost
frozen to death. Mr.. Boilar accompan.
led him down to the edge of slough
some distance frvm his house and found
two woke Of oxen standing and in one Of
the wagon boxes was lying Conrad
Carlson evidently frozen TO death. Mr..
BoIlar concluded that it was best to take
him to town and taking one pair Of oxen
and Frank tho other they came and
asked from Mr.. Edward Ing Alls permis.

house, which was granted. After having
brought him inside it was found that life
was extinct. Tho surviving brothers

were frozen clear to the top Of the an
kles, also his hands and wrists and hike. {.
his face. One hours more exposure aud
he would have shared the eamo fate ~
his brother. Mr.. Ingalls, went at once
to Lakota and secured tho services Of
DR.. Jackson, who is doing everything
that is necessary for tho recovery of the
survivor
1t seems that the two brothers came
into town yesterday with two loads of
wheat and had been drinking pretty
freely after they had delivered their
loads, and about S o'clock they started
for home, but were incapable Of guiding
their teams, and when tho oxen came to
the slough where they were found, had
turned from, tho trail. and in circular
direction they had travelled all night.
Frank said that when he found himself
getting SO cold he got off and walked and
continued to do 70 all night. This un-
doubtedly saved him from sharing the
fate Of his brother. Itis not considered
that an inquest is necessary in this case
as the facts arc no palpablc.

once, since RI. lotion was established,
old Iron Heart came running into tho
post and directed the attention Of George
Faribault to an immense serpent which
he said was wsllowing about in the shoal
water near the little speck OF an island
which lies just northwest Of the fort. Mr..
Faribault got spy glass and repairing
to high point near the present agency
school, he carefully examined the sur.
face Of tho lake, but could 500 nothing
but tho post herd, which had waded into
tho water and were there fighting the flies
from their backs with their tails. Iron
Heart declared that Faribault's eyesight
was bad. He insisted that he saw ths
serpent. Somo years later the old Indian
got Faribault out again with his spy
glass to see the serpent. Faribault
could SEQ nothing but flock Of looms
swimming on the surface Of the lake.
Iron Heart then came to the conclusion
that the animal was invisible To the eyes
Of the pale faces.

ever since the date beyond which
