Storm.

The following is correct list of the
names of the persons who persisted in
Dakota in the great blizzard of the 12th
of January, 1888. The preparation of
this list was authorized by the territOr-
ial board of education and has been
compiled by the secretary of the board
from information obtained from the
county superintendent of the various
counties. He is now engaged in ar
ranging and editing this information
for publication in pamphlet form as a
memorial to the teachers and pupils of
the public schools who yielded their
lives to the fury of the storm. Many
OF the victims of that storm have left
families and other persons who were de-
pendent upon them in helpless and
Strengthened circumstances, One man
leaves an aged and helpless father and
mother in very destitute circum-
stances. Several have left wives
with large families of children
i'll an almost helpless condition.
Some of those who have suffered in the
storm and have lost some of their limbs
wv hilllOuI vi lllciluS lIOIIl
whom they can claim the attention they
need. One family of seven persons
were for many hours in the storm and
of the seven there is not one able to
leave the bed. All but one have suf-
fered the amputatiOn of some of their
members. They are in the house of a
stranger. They are in very destitute
circumstances. Three or four persons
are needed in constant attendance upon
them. The people of that locality are
dealing generously with them, but their
condition demands the sympathy of
broader circle. Such cases would be
much relieved by the contributions of
Of people who are charitably inclined.
Any person or corporation wishing to
relieve distress can find instances
among the sufferers of the blizzard
bestowed and gratefully received. ANY
one can obtain the names of such per
sons by making inquiry.
