TERRIBLE SUFFERING.
An Entire Family Frozen In the Biz
zard and Rendered Helpless.

PARKsT0N, ID. T.. March 10.-One OF
the most pitiable cases Of suffering from
the blizzard Of Jan. ~ has just been
told to the outside world, and comes from
near Oliyet. in this Hutchinson county.
1t appears that the local paper there has
said little about the case, and as the suf'
ferers live in the country, the facts were
not known until application was made to
the county commissioners for aid. The
name of the afflicted family is Sweet. and
about noon of the day OF the storm the
father, mother. daughter, aged 20, and
four sons started to the hNme Of neigh.
Dor several miles distant, whose daughter
the eldest sou was TO marry that night.
Before they reached their destination the
storm came up and they were soon lost
on the prairie. All night long they wan
dered about remaining in the sleigh the
greater part Of the time. allowing the
horses to founder through the drifts rs
best they could Early In the morning
they found shelter, but were all badly
frozen. After days of suffering medical
aid was summoned and the father had
one foot taken off below the instep. the
daughter lost both Of her hands at the
wrists, two Of the sons lost both feet,
another lost all the fingers on his right
hand, while the fourth lost three fingers
The mother escaped badly frozen, but
not severe enough TO require amputation.
They are very poor, and being incapacita
ted for work of any kind were forced as
last resort to ask aid of the county, and
IL was thus that the full extent Of their
injuries became known. No doubt there
are many other cases equally rs sad,
about which the public as yet know moth
ing.
