livery from the prison. Her friends searched
for her, but they finally gave up. On Sun
day a farmer drove to tho hay stack to get
some hay. He noticed the hay had been dis
turbed, and reaching into tie hole,
caught hold Of the lady's overshoe. He
quickly liberated her from her living grave.

were frozen and both feet had to be ampu-
tated IL was at first thought she would sur
vivc. but death relieved her sufferings carly
in the present month, and the poor girls re
mains were laid at rest at Seward, Neb.
The heroism and the sufferings Of these
brave and noble girls have called out the
deepest sympathy and heartiest recognition
from the good people Of Nebraska. The
Omaha Daily Bee, on learning of the devo-
ton of these teachers to their pupils, imme-
diately started a testimonial fund. When
the amputation of Miss Shattuck's feet be-
came necessary, and it was found she would
have no way IN which 10 earn a livelihood,
the Heroine fund rapidly increased,
and vi the date OF the noble girls
death SS,752.0l had been paid for
her benefit. Miss Shattuck's father is II
veteran of the late war, and by reason OF
wounds received in the service he is incapac-
itated for labor. The family was dependent
upon the earnings of their brave daughter
and the above named amount, together with
about 1000 more from The Bees special
fund, is to be paid to the parents Of the I'M
fortunate girl. A prominent jewcler OF San
Francisco sent handsome god watch to
Miss Freeman. The chain is wrought in
semblance Of a rope, Is reminder Of the
means by which she led precious lives from
peril to safety. Already the fund for Miss
Royce has reached 5000, and it is hoped the
amount may be increased to such figure
that the interest viii provide for her during
the rest OF her life.
