for long time. When found the body

MANY Deaths During the Late Cold Spell
tion.
WICHITA, Kan, March 1.-The mer-
curry continues to hover about ten de-
gress below zero, which is two degrees
colder than it was at any time last year.
1t is now certain that the fruit crop in
this State this year is almost totally de-
stroyed, and the winter wheat is badly
damaged.
The news from the Southwest indi-
Gates great suffering of cattle in the
Cherokee strip and in the western part
of the State. Cold weather so late in
the season was not expected and feed
has been consumed. Many hundred
head of cattle have already died, and
should the blizzard continue few days
cattlemen say the loss will be as great
as that sustained eight years ago.
The situation in Morton, Stevens and
Hodgeman counties is pitiable. The
authorities here have a message
{ from the county commissioners of
Stevens stating that their greatest and
most pressing need is for fuel. The
fuel has all been consumed, and the in
tense cold has caught many people
who have scanty supply of provisions
without fuel Most of the supplies
sent to the distressed districts have
consisted of corn and flour, and now
that it has been received there is no
fuel to cook it with. The section most
in need of aid is from fifty to 100 miles
from railroads. The distributing COM
mittee in Stevens has had out many
wagons and agents looking after the
poor, but the cold is so intense that it is
impossible to make long drives.
The committee having the matter in
charge are very reluctant about giving
out information as to deaths. They will
plead for assistance, but insist that it
will do the country or dead no good to
have the facts given to the world. 1t is
understood that deaths have occurred.
In the northwestern part of Stevens
County Sam Woodsdale, his wife and
three children were found dead
Thursday. Two men - Ira Can
field and Henry Wedd - who
lived in the western part of the county
were also found victims of the blizzard.
1t is believed S. C. Campbell was caught
in the storm Wednesday night and per-
ished while trying to reach Woodsdale.
He has many friends and relatives near
GAINESVILLE, o. In Morton County two
deaths have been reported. Efforts are
made to supply relief as in Stevens
County.

MILWAUKEE, March 1.-The snow

have fallen in this city. In the vicin-

reported, and at Plymouth it is two
feet deep on the level.
New ORLEANS, March 1. - A cold
norther prevailed in the vicinity of

wind is blowing in Mississippi and the
temperature has fallen to the freezing
point The fruit and vegetable crops
will probably suffer.
