Parish, the man who was lost in the snow
storm, returned at o'clock this morning
and reported having had fearfully cold,
hard trip. When they found the sleigh
deserted by the other two men they dis
covered that Parish had taken both horses
and started toward Yellowstone valley.
Following the tracks about five miles
they found one horse where he had been
left by Parish. who had evidently walked
and led the horses.
About noon to-day Parish reached this
city, and, to the surprise of everybody, he
only had his hands, face and toes
frozen, and those not seriously. He stated
he remained under the sleigh all night
tuesday, suffe ring untold agonies from
the cold, but he started with the horses at
daylight, and with the greatest difficulty
reached Colleran's ranch before noon on
Wednesday. Here he thawed out his
frozen hands and feet, and was properly
cared for, and he rested until to-day, when
he came to town on horseback.
Moore, who had his feet SO badly frozen,
will probably lose part of each foot and
will be laid up for a long timo. The
strangest thing is the fact that either of
the mon ever reached the house alive in
the face of the hardest storm seen in these
parts since 1887.
