LOST IN THE BAD LANDS.
A Montana Woolgrower Nine Day
Without Food.


HELENA, Mont, Sept 14.-George
jackson, prominent woolgrower of
Ubet, Fergus county, has had an exper-
fence in the bad lands of northern
Montana which he will never forget.
About two weeks ago, in company with
his wife, he left Billings for his home at
Ubet, a distance of IT'S miles The Sec
ond day out they came to where the
roads forked, and Jackson, despite his
wife's protests, concluded to take new
course, saying that, while it ran through
the bad lands and was rough country.
yet it was much the shorter course. At
night a small lake. the only water
within thirty miles, was reached. Here
a camp was made. About dark Jackson
went to the lake for water Not retnrn-
ing, in little while his wife went to
hunt him, but could discover no trace of
her husband. This was Thursday.
week ago. The following day, Friday,
and Saturday and Sunday Mrs. jackson
wandered about in the bad lands. with
but scant supply of food, looking for
her husband, but her search was una
valling. Monday some people aided her
to hitch the team up and put her on the
road to the nearest ranch. Then a posse
was organized to look for jackson, and
after five days search they gave it up,
concluding that he had been drowned in
the lake. Today news was received
from Ubet that the missing man had
been found by a party of home hunters
in what is known as DEVILS Basin. He
had been without food or shelter for
nine days and was pitiable object. He
was so weak he could not rise, and was
entirely unconscious of his surroundings.
The first thing he said was 'sGive me
more bread and me0t." The place
where he was found was not more than
two miles from the spot where he and
his wife camped, and the presumption is
that when he left the lake he wandered
around in circle. The doctors believe
that with careful nursing he will
recover.

ID the sos that Thompson, with t"o
companions, started on an intensely
cold winter day to walk oVar the divide

days previous there had been a heavy
fall of snow, which lay in soriic places
to the depth Of four or five feet, and
this rendered travelling extremely dif-
ficult. The journey up the eastern
slope of the mountains was haf3 enc.

Thompson was very stbTtt and exertion

self together as he did SO. and when
he struck the surface instead OF rink

sr and faster down the mountain he
went, the snow accommodating like d
huge ball about him. The people OF
Downieville were alarmed when they
saw the huge snow-ball flying down
upon them. but when it struck q

Thomps IN stepped out unhurt.
