than fifty men spent the greater pOr-
ton OF the day searching for the body
o. Mail Agent Burrows. Hopes of
hnding him alive are abandoned.
Every person living between the town
n the Lake has been interviewed,
but none could tell aught of the miss
Ing man. 1t is more than probable
that his remains will not be found IN
I'll the melts in the spring. No
further casualties are reported. Two
passenger trains from st. Paul left to-
day. The first train of any sort from
the east since last Wednesday ar
rived to-day. A train load of thirteen
cars OF sheep was caught at Grand
Harbor, six miles west of here, and the
sheep We're On the track III open double
deck cars during the entire blizzard.
They left Cascade. Mont, on the oath
inst. The train vas brought here last
night. Out of $500, about 500 persisted.
They belong to Mr.. Skinner of Cas-

east Immediately. A. present 40 cas-

Moorhead, Mimi. Dec. Thomas
Anderson, sixteen years of age. has
beer missing since last Thursday and
Is believed to have been lost in the
snow. Anderson was employed in a

this city, and LETT at once on his re-

the father will lose his reason if the
boy or body is not found.
