BERpENA, oRLAND AND HERBERT SWEET.
and snow struck them square in the
face. The sun went out like an extin-
guished lamp. The wind howled and
came from all directions; the cold be-
came intense and the snow blew with
binding, pitiless ferceness into their
eyes and faces and crept beneath every
crevice of the covering that protected
them. They had just passed school
house, and finding it impossible for the
horses to face the storm, Mr.. Sweet
tried to turn around and go back to the
school, and soon found it impossible, as
he could not tell from which way the
wind was coming, as it seemed to come
from every point of the compass, from
the heavens and from the earth. In that
terrible storm it was certain death to
stop and possible death to GO ahead.
The track had long since been lost, and
the horses were going through the
fenceless country, no one knew where,
but they kept on travelling until about
midnight. The snow was so deep and
the crust so hard that the horses found
it almost impossible to move. Finally
they stopped and could be urged no
farther, and with a cry that was almost
human, one of them dropped dead in
his traces. A fewmomentslat later the other
one lay down beside his mate, and too
frozen and exhausted even for his death
struggle died quietly under the drifting
snow.
Until dawn Mr.. Sweet walked around
the sleigh to keep the robes over his
perishing family. At daylight he
started for help, but when he reached
the nearest house and attempted to
thaw the ice from his face that he might
be able to speak his eyes swelled shut
and he was blind for days. The family
was rescued by school teacher, who
took the members in his sleigh to his
home. Doctors were soon in attend
ance, and on February Miss Sweets
hands were amputated and the next
day Orlo and Herbert had their legs
taken off below their knees. Three
days after Wesley's fingers on the right
hand were removed and the nephew lost
all his fingers. Mr.. Sweet lost his
fingers and all the toes on both feet;
also his left heel. twas six months be-
fore he was able to use crutch. Mrs.
Sweet was frozen internally, but did not
lose any limbs.
It is not known how cold it was that
night of the blizzard, but the next day
the Thermometer registered As degrees
below. zero. The intense cold. coupled

MONSTER COFFEE POT.
coffee pot as big as a mouse!

A coffee pot as big as mouse!
This is what Buffalo Bill is having
made for his Indian braves and cow
boys, and it is one of the largest and
most remarkable things of its kind in
existence Six Indian warriors can
dance battle step inside the shining
metal walls of the giant coffee pot. The
mammoth liquid warmer is being man
ufactured by New York firm of metal
workers, especially for the use of the
famous scouts western followers. They
will not have to go thirsty so long as this
king of coffee boilers is kept filed with
the refreshing brown beverage.
For many moons past Buffalo Bills
camp has boosted among its possessions
a coffee pot that will hold 60 gallons,
but even this big utensil was insufficient
TO hold enough coffee for the long, dry
throats of the red men and cattle punch
ers. There is no doubt now but that the
wonderful new coffee pot will fill the

bill in every particular, because it will
hold over 100 gallons, and it is the inten-
ton of Buffalo Bill never to allow the
big boiler to get empty.
Quite lot of machinery is necessary
for operating the colossal pot, and how
this machinery is built you can see for
yourself by close examination of the
picture that is printed with this.

next October, on the links of the Nor
ristown Golf club.
The cup is of Etruscan design, about
"a inches in height and six inches in
diameter across the broadcast part of
the vase, the vase being about ten
inches in diameter. The central idea
in the design Of the cup has been to
take away as far as possible from any
suggestion Of massiveness, delicacy and
art in treatment being the prominent
features. The vase is treated in enamel
in the cloring of some of the deep-toned
green and purple Scotch plaids, relieved
on the face by a reproduction Of the
seal of St. Andrew in the form Of an
antique silver coin. Around the vase
in simple and unobtrusive text is the
inscription showing the origin of the
trophy. An elongated, bell-shaped cap
surrounds the vase, in which is intro
duced n panel showing the figure Of a
woman golf player in the act of driving,
clad in a costume in harmony with the
color treatment, and on the reverse a
small sketch of St. Andrew in sim
liar panel. The treatment of the SUBJ
ject is quite in the line of association
of the game and its origin.

4 special to the Tucson Star from Benson, dated October :, saos: Part O the town was washed away and six per sons drowned in flood from 8 cloud burst III the Whetstone mountains twelve miles southwest of town. The dead whose bodies have b'en recovered are: William Zeek, A. Barb. r, wife and two children; Oscar Ashburn, a cattle. man.
 Four more persons are missing. Itis expected great loss of life and destruc. ton of property will be reported from along the line of the San Pedro river until it emptIes into the Gila. Details of the disaster st Benson and an accu. rate description of the exten: of the cloud burst have not been received, but the precipitation must have occurred along the whole length of the Whet- stone mountains. as the food from the western end of the same range tore out three miles of the Southern Pacific track twelve miles wesr of Benson. A wall of water at least twelve miles long was poured into the San Pedro river, hence there is apprehension felt for the safety of the people Tn the valley.

JAMES SCOTT.
Resigns the Office of Sheriff of
 Apache County,


 On last Tuesday, James Scott, Esq, rendered his resignation of the office of sheriff of this county to the Board of Supervisors. This action was done af- ter all his reports had been acted upon and all his accounts audited. Immedi. atelv after accepting the resignation of Mir Scott. the board ordered & resOlu. ton (tFIe fnIl text of which will be found Tn the proceedings published in this paper) spread upon ihe minutes, commenting Sheriff Scott in no uncer- tain terms. The fact that the assess ment roll of this county shows an in- crease of taxable property this year is entirely due to the energy and industry of NIT. Scott. and the work he performed will not affect this year alone. but as the property once being on the assess. ment roll, will render the work of sub- seQuent years much easier. Mir. Scott is the nominee of the Republicans of Navajo county for treas Ter, and ihe citizens of that county will be fOrtu- nate in securing the services of such a wide awake, alert gentleman to serve them in any capacity.
 A petition bearing sufficient number of names was then presented 10 the board, asking for the appointment of ". w. Berry. of St. Johns. to fill the vacancy. He WAS so appointed, and immediately qualified by filing a good and sufficient bond with the recorder, and st ono entered upon the discharge of his official duties.

On the stage and back of the speakers stand were seated about sixty Of Apache's prom inent and representative Democrats. Prof. J. W. Brown acted as president, and introduced the speakers ill q few well.chosen words. The speech of the evening was the effort of Mir.

The subject was ably hanufed by the eminent gentle man, and proved highly satisfactory tu the large autiieneey as was frequently evInced by ihe lon; bursts of applause that greeted his telling blows for Dem ocracy's cause.
