SAD STORY OF Want.
Settlers of Walsh County, Oak, in a
Most Pitiable Condition.
MET DEATH ON THE RAIL.
Eight Un~fortanates are Instantly Killed
or slowly Roasted to Death in a
Wreck ON the New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio.

ST. PAUL, Jan. 4.-The stories of
want that have comefr western Walsh
county. Oak, are absolutely true, There
are nearly one hundred families on the
verge of starvation. The houses are sit
uated at least a mile apart, and in most
instances a mile and a half to two miles.
The only thing that has prevented the
greatest suffering has been the mild
weather. With the few supplies now
on hand and a rigorous winter, people
would be in positive danger of starving,
as the difficulty of going from home to
secure food, while as thinly clad as at
present and as poorly fortified to com
bat with a heavy storm from insufficient
food, would be great. If heavy storm,
accompanied by extreme cold, should
make a sudden advent. it is entirely pro-
bable that great suffering, if not death,
would follow. As a rule the families are
large; the men are unable to do II
work in the winter, as there is nothing
to do, The section of Walsh county,
seriously affected by the frost, seems to
be in a belt about ten miles wide and
twelve miles long. 1t was felt ell ever;
the extreme northern counties in both
Dakota and Minnesota. 1t has been of
such rare occurrence that the people do
not anticipate another visitation soon.
The restitution is such that the farmers
must have Immediate assistance, or they
will be compelled to use their seed wheat
for food. The citizens of Park River
have taken action in the matter and the
county commissioners will make a
prompt investigation. Your correspond
emit visited the home of the Baptist min
lister. The house was a sod shanty Of
three rooms. The husband was away
trying to earn money to keep the wolf
from the door. AT the supper hour
nothing but mush was served, there
being neither bread no. butter.
room that had been built for
grain storage was used for sleeping
purposes. There were three beds in the
room which furnished nightly accom-
modations for ten people. One of the
two beds was released to the visitor and
the nine occupied the other two beds.
The room was very damp and utterly
unfit for occupancy by a human being.
In another place l met an old man at the
door of a sod house. He led the way
inside. IN a room that measured 12x14
feet was a very remarkable sight. There,
huddled together were a man and wife
and eleven children. 1t was a forced
family reunion. Five little children were
shoeless and stockingless. These are
merely instances. Everywhere the cry
was the same; no wheat, little -four, few
potatoes, no coffee, no sugar, little salt,
little milk and no money.
