Narrow Escape From Freezing OF u Party
of Five at Frederick. O.
A sad case of exposure and freezing &C.
Cured about three miles west of Fred
erick during the great storm of Thursday
and he following night. Mr.. McLaren
left his home with an OK team attached to
a stone boat about 3 o'clock for a school
house situated a quarter of a mile south
ward, for the purpose of bringing home his
two children, Katie, aged z years, and
Willie, aged 8; also a boy named Ely
Hustled, Is years old, and the school
teacher, a young lady named Nettie
Reeves, who also boarded with the MeLaren
family. AS the wind was in the mans
back on his way to the school house, he
arrived there safely, and started with his
load Of human freight for home. The
oxen bore off the course, and for IS
hours FIVE human beings battled against
the storm until about 3 o'clock Friday
morning they reached a npighbor's
slIanty for shelter. The young lady

il is hoped to ave them. Mr.. McLaren's
face and u artn was badly frozen and his
valuable yoke Of oxen frozen SO badly as
to be rendered useless. Miss Reeves pa
rents reside here in town and knew moth
ing of the suffering of their daughter until
last evening when they vent to bring her
home from her school as was their wont
to do every Saturday. Altogether, the
heroic fortitude, and suffering of Miss
Reeves and the almost increditable endur-
ance Of Mr.. McLaren, in their efforts to
save the children and themselves, furnish
es a tale never to be forgotten by them or
their friends.

They c3mplain that the governor tire
himself into the arms Of the politicians
and selected too many Of them for territor
ial officers. II is claimed that Boynton,
whom he made a railroad Commissioners,
has proven ungrateful to his chief; that
Ward is of little account; that Gale al
though he has some money, is a very light
weight, and that the only really substan
tial appointments that Church has made
are those of J g. Lawler and Alex Griggs.
Church has found out gradually how non
influential are the men he has selected.
NJ. II. Day, who was here recently and
who is now in New York, speaks very
kindly of Church, although he thinks that
in both a political and business sense he
has made same mistakes.
