BLIZZARD VICTIMS
Two Bodies Found and Many Men
Missing


DENVER, Col. April ga special to
says: The frozen bodies of two ranch
men, who succumbed to the fury of the
recent blizzard, were found in the snow
drifts between this city and Little Horse
creek today. Two other ranchmen, who
were with those whose bodies were
found when the storm commenced, are
missing, and searching parties are rid
ing the country. expecting to find them
frozen to death. The names Of the men
who perished are as yet unknown. They
are believed to be two of the Jackson
brothers, who have been engaged In
raising hogs at Mitchell bottoms. Neb..
Just across the Wyoming line. Yester-
day the mail carrier coming to Cheyenne
from Little Horse creek discovered four
abandoned wagons on the road about 20
miles northeast of this place. The wag-
ons were loaded with live hogs. The
horses were unhitched and were hud-
died about the wagons with their har-
ness on. One of the horses had become
stalled in snowdrift and was dead. A
searching party today found the bodies
of two of the drivers nearly ten miles
from the wagons and five miles from
one Of Senator Warren's sheep camps.
It is believed that when the men aban-
doned their teams they tried to reach
the Windmill Road ranch, three miles
ahead of them, but wandered from the
road In the terrific storm of Monday
night or Tuesday morning. John Luca-

came bewildered in the storm and wan

food and shelter in the flooded district
of this state and the probable sum re-
quired for relieving their distress.
Governor Jones replied that he would
furnish the information as soon as 1t
could be gathered, and added that he
thought $4,000 added by the government
to the funds raised by local subscription
would not be too much to meet the exi-
genciee.
A STEAMER SUNK
NASHVILLE, April 3.-The steamer
r. T. Cole Of this port, engaged in the
upper Cumberland trade, sank last night
at Hunters point, fifty miles above
Nashville. About a hundred raftsmen

cept six. though 1t is not positively as
serted that these have been drowned.

THE PRESIDENTS POWER
WASHINGTON, April 3.-The presi-
dent is showing great interest in the
news Of the floods in the west, and his
sympathy has been aroused at the ac-
counts Of sufferings of the unfortunate
people who have been driven from house
and home by the rapid waters of the
Mississippi.
them, but he intends to appeal to con-
gress to come to the relief Of the suffer-
ers.
1t was first supposed that the passage
by congress last week of the joint reso-
luton making Immediately available
s250, 900 of the total appropriation made
in the sundry civil appropriation bill for
the Improvement of the Lower Mississip-
pi river, under the direction of the Mis-
sissippi river commission, would go far
toward alleviating the distress of the
submerged sections.
It has been discovered that not cent
of this money can be applied legally to
feeding or caring for the people starv-
ing and shivering along the banks of the
rivers. Under the law, the money is ap-
propriated for the Improvement Of the
river and can be expended only for the
repair OF levees and, perhaps. by a
stretch of construction, for the protec-
tion Of property. To meet this exigen-
cy, the president has determined to
bring the unfortunate state of the peo-
pie to the attention of congress, trusting
to that branch of the government to
provide means for relief To this end he
has made inquiries by.telegraph of the
governors of the stateywhere the floods
prevail as to the extent of the floods and
the needs Of their people. Their replies
will serve as basis for an application
to congress.
