Cautght In The Blizzard.

Cheyenne. Wyo., April 7.-Wil-
liam c. Irvine, who reached here to-
day from his ranch in Johnson cou-
nty, reports finding Edward Smith
a converse ranchman, in a dying
condition on the road. Smith had
been overtaken by the blizzard of
last week while taking a load of hay
to stage camp. He built a barri-
cade of the baled hay, but the prot
ection was sufficient and he became
SO weak with cold and exposure
that he was unable to travel after
the storm subsidized. Irvine took
him to Fort Fetterman, but he died
a short time after reaching there.

Wyoming Stock Losses Small.


RIM. Friend, of the we'll known
firm of Reel 4 Friend of Evanstone,
Wyo., was at the yards on his to the
range conntry says the South Omaha
Stockman. The firm has been in
business on the Wyoming ranges for
upwards of seventeen years and are
one of the few firms that have wet
hered the blasts of adversity and
fell now 0their efforts have been
we'll applied. Mr. Friend wishes to
refute the charges made that the re-
cent storms were very disastrous to
sheep and attle.owners on the range
and he says that while there will
probably be some loss among shee p
men, there will be practically no loss
to cattle owners on the Wyoming
ranges The ranges, business is not
conducted as it was in former years,
as range owners since about 1890,
when their losses were heavy, have
taken the precaution to provide feed
AoL ol1Cll CuuUlC LII CCtSCS VI tIllCIScllCy
and during the past few years range
owners have usually been prepared
to furnish hay to their cattle during
severe weather and along in the
spring. MIR. Friend thinks the sum-
mer and fall of this year will GER
tainly find less cattle from the range
on the market than usual, as close
times and low prices until recently
have tended to force range owners
out of the business, consequently
the herds have been trimmed down
to the lowest point. Besides this
a great deal of spaying was done on
the ranges along the nineties. con
sequently this had a disastrous
effect on keeping up the supply Of
feeding cattle. Mr.. Friend belives
the outlook most favorable for decent
mathis prices the next few years and
fells that cattlelnan will certainly
be in the 'puch' for some time to
come.
