markably good, and the monotony Of
the journey was broken by viewa Of the
carcasses of cattle and hogs which
persisted in the late storm. Many of
these csrcasses lie on the open prairie
and they evidently were completely ex-

10, Robison'e body was brought to
this city last evening from Tyndali,
where it has been for q week, or since
the great storm. The body is still rigid,
and its members are yet in the Same po-
sitions IN which they we're frozen. It
reclines OF nearly full length, with the
knees slightly bent, the right arm hang
ing NOT unnaturally by the side and the
left arm bent at the elbow, which places
the left hand on the breast. The face is
somewhat pulled by frost but wears a
natural expression. The man might
have occupied thie same position when
lying in bed, and there is mot the
slightest evidence of q struggle tt retain
life. Hs is not dressed in garments sufi-
GENTLY heavy to keep ont Dakota cold.
1t is very probable that he died without
PAIN. The remains we're left at Sanborn's
undertaking rooms and we're buried this
afternoon.
Sam Kaucher returned to day from
Major Andrus' ranch on Ohoteau creek,
where he has been engaged for the past
three months in erecting q Touring mill.
Mr.. Kaucher brings reports OF wholesale
loss of live stock and many human lives
during the late blizzard. He vss in q
section 1T country over which the storm
passed with all the fury possible. and it's
results are severely felt by tho people of
that country. Mr.. Kauoher failed to
hear Of any Indisns frozen TO death in
the storm and it is q singular feet that
no deaths among che red men have been
heard Of. The Indians at Yankton agency
were generally away from their quarters
during the storm and some are known
to have made their way safely over three
and four miles OF prairie during the
height OF the storm. MIR. Kaucher knows
Of one hunter and trapper who was
caught in the storm while crossing the
country between Creighton and Mo
brsra and who wrapped himself in his
blankets and allowed Q snow drift to be
built around and above him. He turned
up next day without one frost bite.
That man had seen such storms before.
