The snow which fell two weeks ago still
covers the ground to the depth of four
inches everywhere except on a few steep
hillsides where the sun has melted it off.
On Monday the weather turned warm for q
time md the snow began to melt, settling
down to the present depth. but before night
the wind began blowing cold from the west,
and by Tuesday morning the mercury had
fallen to "a degrees below zero. Since that
time the weather has remained bitter cold,
the mercury seldom rising higher than SO
degrees above zero. The suffering of stock
during the week has been intense and the
loss of cattle and sheep has been great.
During the coolest night, sheep in several
instances that we have heard of, that had
been fed and were in good condition, piled
M SO closely that they smothered. The
loss to the live stock industries of Crook
county will not fall mnch short Of so per
cent, even if the snow should go off now,
as many haye lost nearly everything and all
have lost some. Should the snow remain
two weeks longer, there will scarcely be any
thing left, as nearly everybody is out of
feed and stock is not in condition to stand
any further starving. Many OF the stock
men who have lost heavy will be left bank.

in debt and what they have left will not
more than square them with the world.
This winter is conceded by all to have been
the severest ever known In the county, and
1890 will long be remembered as the ''great
cow killer"

At about o'clock on the night of the ID
the alarm of danger was given at the Gus.
ter mill by the blowing of the steam whistle.
I The people knew too well what was the
matter, and when they started to 70 to the
scene OF disaster they took their shovels
with them. The snowslide had come from
the top of old "Baldy Mountain" crashing
through N. Johnson's and H. Levinson's
houses. Mr.. Smith had moved into the
Levlnson house that day and just barely
escaped with his life when the slide struck
it, breaking the house down and filling it
with snow.
Poor Mr.. johnson deserves the sympathy
OF all. When he heard the snowslide COM
ing he rushed frantically to the house to
save his family. He only got in the house
to see the walls yielding to the terrible
enemy--the snowslide. He found that it
was too late. and could do nothing to save
his family from their untimely and horrible
death, so he threw himself on the bed by
the side of his sick and helpless wife whom
he would not desert, to meet their doom.
Mr.. and Mrs. johnson were taken from the
debris of snow alive, but Mrs. johnson re.
ceived injuries from which abe will soon die.
The children were dead when taken from
the slide. The last two were taken out
about o'clock tho following morning.
The children were laid peacefully and
quietly to rest in the cemetery, just east of
the Custer mill, at the mouth of lonely
and picturesque canon.
The snowslide came down the same can.

BEN BUTLER's EYE.

BesToN, March 2-The operation on
General Ben Buffers famous t,e!iI, Iuen-
toned in these dispatches u couple Of
weeks ago, has proved entirely successful,
and the sight of his left eye has been COM

eye, too, has been developing of late
years dropping lid on a miniature scale.
1t is now velled more than the left eye,
and will probably be made the object of
another operation in the near future.

while there took dose ofstrsc schne, Which
caused his death during the night.
Rumor says he was paying attentions to

not give him sufficient encouragement,
and in fit of deipondency he took the
poison. A gentleman from Cottage
Grove informs US that Dunn was en-
gagged to be married TO Miss Ida Griffin.

called to sec about the preparations Tor

count of not having her wardrobe COM

not be postponed, and then she remarked
in good humor, that she would not have
hlm at all. He said he would kill him
self, at which the girls brother ana some
other young people who were present
laughed, surprising he was joking. He
had a bottle of blackberry brandy in his
pocket, and stepping behind the girl he
took i; out and took drink Of it. They
afterwards discovered that he had poured
nearly all the contents of phial OF strych

asked Tor drink out of the bottle, but
Dunn refused TO give it TO him, saying it
contained poison, which Griffio did not
believe and insisted on tasting IT. just
then Dunn was taken with cramps, a
doctor was immediately called. but it
was too late to do anything, and Dunn

MARY MAGDALEN.


VERSES ATTRIBUTED TO FRANCIS SCOTT KEY,
AUTHOR OF "sTAR-sPANGLED BANNER"
To the hall of the feast came the sinful and fair,
For she heard in the city that Jesus was there;
She marked not the splendor that blazed on the
board,
But silently knet at the feet of her Lord.
The hair from her forehead, so sad and so meek,
Hung dark Ger the blushes that burned on her
cheek;
Add so still and so lowly she knelt in her shame,
Itseem' d like her spirit had flown from its frame.
The frown and the murmur went round thro'
them all
That one so unhalow'd should tread in thathall,
And some said the poor would be objects more
meet
For the wealth of the perfumes she shower'd on
His feet.
She mark'd but her Saviour-she spoke but in
sighs .....
She dared not look up to the heaven of His eyes,
And the hot tears gush'd forth at each heave OF
her breast,
AS her lips to His indals she throbblngy pressed
On the clouds after tempest as shinest the bow,
In the glance of the sunbeam as melteth the snow,
He looked on that lost one-her sins were for
given,
And Mary went forth in the beauty of heaven!

BIG STORMS IN HISTORY.

Some That Throw the Louisville Disaster
Into the Shade.
From the New York Sun.
In 944 a storm in London destroyed 1900
houses. In 1901 storm In the same city de-
stroyed 800 houses In 1896 storm on the
coast of England destroyed 200 coasters with
most Of their crews. One of the greatest storms
ever known was that of November 26 and 81,
1908, which caused in London alone loss of
over 60 100000. 1t is estimated that over 5000
people were lost in the floods Of the Thames
and Severn, and off the coast of Holland. Dur
ing the same storm twelve English men-of-war
with 1900 men on board were lost in sight of
their own shore. The famous Eddystone Light
house was destroyed, and with it its ingenious
contriver, Windstanley. Seven thousand Swedes
perished in snow storm in 17l9. A storm in
India on October II, 1897 is said to have killed
10000 people. At Havana a storm on October
26, 1868, destroyed over 1000 houses and 200
people On April %, 1882, 1000 people were
destroyed by hurricane at Seerat, in the East
Indies. A terrible hurricane swept the west
coast of England and Ireland during January
6 and of 1889. Over 120 people were killed
in and near Liverpool. In Ireland 400 houses
were blown down, and there was great loss
by fire. A big storm drove l43 wrecks on the
British coast May 26, 1861. On June 26, 1873,
$50 persons were killed at Budah-Pest, Hungary.
In September of the same year storm on the
coast OF Texas swept many villages away and
caused an immense loss of life. On December

down, and over 100 persons were killed. De-
structive tornadoes In the western part of this
