A bevy Of mischievous young ladies called
at a prominet insurance office yesterday
afternoon during the absence OF its
occupants. They espied a lot OF in.
surapce literature lying on a desk and
evidently took it for copies OF
the latest society novels. When they
discoyered their mistake disgust took the
place of happy anticipation. for they took
the pile and scattered it all over the moor;
took furniture and turned it upside down,
and in others ways left tokens OF their
visit. When the gentlemen occupying
the Office returned the mischief-makers

CLAYTON, N. M, Nov. 9.-The storm has
abated and for the first time in nine days
the sun is shining. While no authentic re-
ports have been received concerning the
loss OF life, reports come in that several
Mexican herders have been frozen on the
Leona, a small creek 20 miles south OF
town. No communication has been had
directly and the mails from the Seven diff.

Some appreher sion is felt concerning the
Tramperas mail driver. who should have
reached Clayton last evening, but has not
as yet appeared.
A telegram from Grande tonight gives
another case Of fire., zir G, in that of Joe
Martin. a cowboy, who WAS employed with
others in holding a herd OF cattle near that
point. His horse gave out, leaving him on
the prairie eight miles from the nearest
house. This he endeavored to reach, but
was overpowered and frozen after walking
only q short distance. He belonged in

The depth OF snow cannot be correctly
estimated. a snow piOW pushed DY TOUR

north of town to-day, and only after eight
hours Of shovelling was released. The
trainmen report that much difficulty was

some places, are completely filled with
dead cattle and sheep. The loss to both

TRINIDAD, Colo, Nov. 9.-The bodies OF
John Martin and Henry Miller, the COW
boys who we're frozen to death near Sierrs
Grande last week during the blizzard. were
brought to Folsom for burial. Their two
companions, Charlie Wier and Henry Jolly
were taken to Ration for medical treatment.
Jolly will lose all his fingers, but otherwise

and the other foot is horribly frozen.
-Four other men belonging to the same
party are missing and is feared, dead.
Their names are Charles Rand, Manuel
Jaeger, Mexican Joe, and ANGLICAN, whose
name is unknown. It is reported by
parties who know that at least twenty
men are missing from this range and it is
feared that many of them will be found
dead.
Jolly and Weir tell a h~eartrending story
OF their suffering. They say the blizzard
struck them Wednesday night Of last week.
They were holding q herd of $500 cattle.
The wind became a hurricane before morn
ing and when Martin and Jolly went on
the last guard. about 3 g.. M, the storm
was so binding that they could not hold
the herd. Jolly started to camp for help.
In the meantime Miller and Wier had left
the camp to assist in holding the cattle.
Jolly could not find the camp and Miller
and Wier could not find the herd. All
three were drawn together by shouting, and
wandered around until daylight, when they
found Martin. The cold vas SO bitter
that the men entered an arroyo and after
fastening the horses took the saddles and
blanketsi and buried themselves in
a . snow drift. This was about
8 in the afternoon, and it was only by the
greatest effort that Wier and Jolly sue
ceeded in keeping awake. They were slightly
apart from Martin and Miller, and had
great difficulty in talking to each other.
The nj piled upon them with such i'm
mense weight that they were compelled to
seek another drift. About 8 o'clock on
Friday morning Miller called Jolly and
Wier and told them they had all better 60.
and when they crowded out they made q
search in the drift for Miller and Martin.
The latter was only found and he was
dead. They took the horses and started,
and on leading them a few rods when they
found Miller or his knees with his bleeding
face against the blast, swaying to and fro,
his horse standingi in front of him as though
to protect him from the cold. He
was asked to get up AID 60 with them. He
was unable to rise and was assisted, but
could not walk. Jolly started to get as

DIDN'T LIKE THE MULE.
The Terse Manner In Which an Old-rimer
Expressed His Opinion.

AA
The late "Doc" Gleason, who lost his
life from the results Of injuries received at
the fire OF Sept. 80, was one OF those orig
inal and unique characters found only in
the mining camps OF the West. He was en-
dowed with an acute comprehension OF the
ridiculous and gifted with a natural flow
OF humor and wit. which was continually
bubbling to the surface and apparently in
tile most unconscious manner. About
three years ago he started on a prospect
ing tour, for which he was 'staked" by a
number OF his friends of this city. Among
those who were to share in whatever he
might find was DR.. Sarchet. A part OF
"Doc.'s" outfit consisted of a mule OF very
uncertain age and dignifed appearance.
Before starting out "Doc." promised to
write to his partners from Bannack, giving
them a description OF his trip. In due
time DR.. Sarchet received the promised let.
ter. 1t was characteristic Of the man who
wrote it, and was as follows:
Dear Doctor-Arrived here o. K. Had
considerable trouble with the mule. c.
a mule, anyway. Yours respectfully,
F. e. GLEASON.

A Little Boy Seriously Injured by q Neigh
boris Dog.
A little boy, aged s years, the son OF Mr..
and Mrs. d. d. Jacobs, residing near the
Girton house on Quartz street, was severely
bitten by a dog, yesterday. The dog is
own.d by a man named Van Dusen who
lives in the house adjoining the n occu-
pied y the parents OF the injured child.
The little fellow, unconscious OF danger,
approached the dog in childish confidence
and essayed to pat him on the head. In
stead OF yielding to kindly motives, the
vicious brute made a spring for the
boy and fastening it's teeth in his facs bore
him to the ground and continued to bite
him. The child's cheeks were horribly
lacerated before assistance arrived. DR..
Sarchet was summoned and dressed the
wounds OF the little toddler and it is
thought that no serious results will follow,
although it was feared that the boy would
lose an eye, as a severe cash extended
above one OF them.
Mr.. Jacobs will bring suit against the
owner OF the dog and seek to have the
brute killed.

He Congrataiatss England on the Splendid
Expansion Of Trade.
LONDON, Nov. 9.-At q meeting at the
guild hall to-day Lord Salisbury delivered
an address in which he congratulated
the country upon the splendid expansion
OF trade. The disputes between labor and
capital, he said, were regretful and he
warned the labor agitators they undertook
a grave responsibility. He was glad to be
able to affirm that Ireland was pro-
crossing. Prosperity was increasing in
that country, disorder was vanishing and
there was every prospect Of q permanent
settlement OF the leading questions between
the two countries. No member OF the
government INDUCED In the wild theories
of home rule, but were ready with q practi-
cal policy, which would satisfy the country.
Referring to Egypt Lord Salisbury. said

changed. The difficulties in Europe he de-
clared appears to be tending toward peace
full solution.
