! bowled them, and wrapping the girls in all
the blankets he had, placed each In the body

through the snow and sent a party which
| saved the girls, but the brave old man died
of exhaustion.
But all other horrors Of the plains pale be-
fore the awful record of the Bonner party's
sufferings. They numbered about sixty, and
were in the emigration that went to Califor
mia before the discovery of gold. On the
eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada they were
oveTtal1en by an unusually early winter
Their oxen strayed or died. They hastily
erected rude huts and struggled against cold
and hunger Madness seized many; murder
and cannibalism followed. There is q tradi-
ton in California that dream was the cause
of relief party starting to reach them.
That party also suffered terribly, but reached
the Bonner camp to find frozen corpses pre-
served in the snow and the survivors living
upon the flesh. Thirty-siI had died or been
murdered, and 1t is still the belief Of many in
California that one man and woman were
murdered after relief had reached the party,
and the accused-a German named Kiesburg
was Stunned during life and died an out
cast.
Eight years later some 800 Mormon con-
verts undertook to cross the plains with hand
carts and were overtaken by winter storms,
which came on month earlier than usual.
Nearly 300 of them died and many1f the
survivors were badly MANNED. In the storm
of 1871 in southern Dakota, man and q boy
lived seventy-two hours in a snow drift, and
escaped without serious injury. Many SINH
lar cases, though covering less time, occurred
in the great blizzard OF 1888 1t is curious
illustration of western ''newsn that the first
reports put the total loss at LOCO lives, which
the local press Indignantly denied, saying
that only 100 had frozen to deathr' The
curious fact was noted that, when the blizzard
began, about noon, at least 60 900 children
were in school in the territory, and that very
few Of them were injured, and not more
than a dozen died. A careful inquiry re-
suited in placing the lives lost at $50.
1t may reasonably be concluded that the
worst daysof the blizzard are passed. Artificial
groves Will moderate its fury, and the settle
ment of the country will furnish means Of
safety. But, with ali notifications, storms
like the late one in New Mexico will occa-
sonally for many years work havoc among

AGAINST TIRE STORM

The worst of II is that the finest weather Of
the year comes Just before the worst storms.
Early November is peculiarly exhilarating on
the plains; the buncs grass Is at its best, and
freighters are often tempted TO undertake long
THUS while herders too often delay getting in
their stock. In the early winter of 1865 not less
than 10000 freight oxen died on the three
main routes 10 the mountain posts. little
