FROZEN TO DEATH.
Tales of Terrible Suffering in the
Enuf


ST. LOUIS, Feb. IA special to the
Republic from Guthrie, o. T., says: A
terrible blizzard struck this territory
early Sunday morning and continues
with terrible severity. The wind
blew perfect gale, and snow
is two feet deep on the ground. Re-
ports of death and suffering come in
today from all parts of the territory.
In the strip recently opened, the
people are in precarious condi-
ton. At Red Rock, James Blount and
family. consisting of a wife and two
children, girls, aged ten and twelve
years, were almost frozen to death.
Mrs. Fannie Spencer. a homesteader
twelve miles from Gross, was found
frozen stiff. All her fuel had burned
out.
Many people are still living in tents.
and, as fuel Is scarce. their condition is
awful. James Mulligan. living four
miles south of Perry, was found this
evening frozen to death. and his part
her, Harvey NewcOmU, died from eX-
posture and cold, fifteen minutes after
being found.
At Ponca. Mrs. Jennie Cramer and
two children, Lizzie aud SallIe, were
discovered frozen stiff in a coyotes
burrow, ten yards from their abode.
Col. Henry Melton. a cowboy. who
was with Buffalo Bill at the worlds
sair. was discovered by party of hunt
erS early this morning dead under his
horse. near Newkirk.
At AladarkO two Indian pupils were
found yesterday evening buried under
a snow bank. Upon being taken to
house one of the children immediately
expired. The other, however, shows
signs OF recovery. Late this evening a
report reached here that family named
Sears, residing on claim near Wood
ward, was found frozen to death, but no
particulars can be obtained
A courier Just III from Alva, another
strip town, reports great suffering
among the homeSteaderS near there.
Over 100 head of horses and cattle were
frozen and volunteer relief committees
are now securing the country, gathering
together the people and caring for them
in the school houses.
Miss Jennie johnson. young Indian
teacher. who came to Alva recently,
from Scranton. Pa, left her school
Saturday night for her boarding house.
She has not been seen since. No
reports have been received from
other weSt-side towns. but it is certain
the suffering is great, as the west-Side
people are living mostly in tents. All
trains are delayed. Word comes
from Cross that Sherman Stone and
family, consisting of a wife and
five children, were found sitting about
stove with their threats cut from ear
to ear. The following note found on a
table near by Stone gives a horrible
story of murder and suicide in connec-
ton with the storm:
Wood all gone; Mollie frozen ia
death, the rest of US freezing. l nave
killed my family and now kill myself to
prevent further suffering. God have
mercy on u.s."
Stone was homesteader and lived in
tent.
1t is thought that after the snow melts
hundreds OF dead settlers will be found
along with remains of thousands OF cat
tie.

IN THE THEATERS.

Primrose and Vests Ministries played
at the Metropolitan opera house again
last night, appearing to large audi
ence, and the show is certainly a pro-
nounced success. as the vast audience
was in constant roar of laughter from
the time the curtain went up to the
finish of the show. Primrose and West
can pride themselves on having the best
minstrel performance this season that
they have ever given to the public.
The first part is a drea m, the singing is
excellent, and the SpecialtieS are a de-
cided novelty. The burlesque that is
given on the fayorite game. football, is
correct imitation of the real thing and
is extremely ludlcrous and laughable.
They will remain at the metropolitan
the remainder Of this week, including
matinees Wednesday and Saturday,
when they play at reduced prices of 25
and 50 cents, which will give all the
ladies and children an opportunity to
see an excellent minstrel performance
for very small amount of money.

Early this morning a cyclone passed
over Try, unrOofing the big school
building and blowing down
church and several houses, 1t then

TURNING THE INSANE LOOSE

The recent decision of the supreme
court seems to have made it possible
for the asylum authorities to turn out
all the patients sent under the new
law to shift for themselves. Attor-
ney Gen eral Childs' opinion Is given
that they are not entitled to transport
alton home. 1t is pretty hard state of
affairs when laws are made SO lax as to
be set aside in this manner. And still
harder for several hundred insane pa
tients to be turned out of house and
home in the middle of winter. to get
home the best way they can.-Buffalo
Gazette.
The board seems to look upon the de-
cision Of the supreme court as personal
atfront to it-as reflection upon its
members, and instead of sensibly and
humanely attempting to relieve those
in distress by showing them a way OUT
of the difficulty. they appear to de-
sire to make the worst instead of the
best of the situation. They know very
we'll that it would be entirely proper
for any officer or any person inter-
ested to make complaint in any case
before the judge of probate in

where there is room for contest, as there
was in the three cases in which the law
has been declared unconstitutional.
Of course 1t is not right to throw the

where the hospitals are located, but the
counties from whence they came can

viduals do not provide for it, the legis-
lature certainly would. If the right
thing is done. the expense will be but
little. If the wrong thing is done the
distress of friends will be increased un-
necessarily, and @the greatest expense
