Special to the Globe.
WATERFOWL, Dak., Jan. 16.-Thomas
Murphy, driver of the stage between
WatertOwn and Webster, left this city
Thursday forenoon before the blizzard
set in, and has not been heard of siLce.
There is bare possibility that he may
have reached the half way house and
found shelter from the storm. The
bodies of four persons, Sarah DOlan,
Edward TetZlOfy, and the two Driver
boys, have been found within radius
OF forty miles of Watertown since the
storm subsidized, and it is feared the list
will be considerably augmented when
the correct reports are all in. Rev. Mr..
Springer, Methodist minister living a
FEW miles from this city, is reported as
having persisted in the storm. The re-
port could not be verified or denied at a
late hour. A great many cattle have
been lost and died during the storm.
The local to BrOokingS pulled through
to-day, but there is no mail
from the East, West or st. Paul for
five days. A party of travelling men
blOckaded at Clark for several days be-
came first-clasS pedestrians yesterday
and set out for this point. Three of
them came in on time. One of them,
however, H. c. Miller, of st. Peter, was
badly used up, and has been incapaci-
tated for duty since. The remaining
six men fell out along the line OF march
as they became fatigued, and found ref
uge in the farm houses and have ar
indicated the coolest weather known
here for years. During the past few
days As deg. below zero has been very
common. Mrs. l. nj. Westfall, who
died last Friday morning, was buried
this afternoon, it being impossible to
reach the cemetery or prepare the grave
sooner.
HOW THEY DIED.
Special to the Globe.
SIOUX FALLS, Dak., Jan. 16.-Reports
now show nine victims of the blizzard
of Thursday. Mrs. James Kennedy and
son, of Wayne township, went out to
look for Mr.. Kennedy and became lost
from each other. Mrs. Kennedy was
found in corn field, but the boy has
not yet been found. Kennedy escaped
by getting under hay-stack. Eric
Erickson, a well-known farmer of
Mapleton township, was overtaken by
the storm and persisted. His remains
cannot be found. III. Bliss, of McCoOk
county, sixty-five years of age, lost
his way in trying to go only
from the barn to his house, distance
huge snowdrift not fifty feet from his
house. The body of G. Gramstorm, of
this county, was found last night. He
was almost on his own doorstep, but
was too exhausted to get into the house.
He was completely buried in the snow,
and his body was undiscovered for
thirty hours. A hired man of Louis
Leebert, south of this place four miles,
is another victim. Two others are re-
ported from Brandon township as miss
ing, but names and particulars are I'M
known. The loss of stock in this county
is much larger than at first supposed.
The blockade will be broken on all the
roads by tomorrow noon.

and all persisted. In Hutchinson county
w. 3. Headley and two boys of John
TibeliuS were frozen dead. Cases of
men, women and children being out in

dozens have been badly frozen. P. H.

his wife and five children, started to at
tend the wedding of son, and was
driven by the storm into wire fence,
killing one horse and compelling all to
remain out in the storm for nearly
