OUT IN A BLIZZARD.
Henry Eyler 36 Hours on the Prairie
in a Hole Dug i'm the Snow.

Mr.. Henry Eyler, a thrifty German
farmer of Campbell township, was in
Miller today for supplies. He re-
Gently had an experience that few
persons could 90 through successful
ly. He had been to Miller and on his
way home was caught in a blizzard.
1t was useless to try to find his way
in such a storm, so he unhitched his
team, arranged the sled for protec-
lection, took his shovel-which, by
the way, is now CARED in all sleds-
and dug "a hole into the four feet Of
snow, banked up around the sled and
prepared for a siege of SO hours in a
bowling blizzard, with nothing to
eat for himself or team. But they
got through all right, and when the
storm cleared away Mr.. Eyler found
himself a mile and one-half from his
home, which he soon reached, not
much the worse for his Imprisonment
in a snow bank.

w. Il. Graham, who returned re-
Gently from Iowa, reports meeting
several former Hand county people.
At Des Moines he saw Tyler McWhor-
ter and wife. Tyler is Shaking news
paper pictures, while his wife is at
tending an art school, although she
is considered to be a better artist
now than Tyler. At Sioux City he
saw the Dishonesty boys, Charles
being city marshal. Claus Douthett
is working on government work on
the river, while Henry Newmire, wife
and son Bert are running a steam
laundry. Mrs. Thurston and Mrs.
Firestone are also there, both ma
irons of institutions. 1t is difficult
to go anywhere in the west and not
find former Hand county people.
And as for ex-Dakotans-they are
thicker than 'the leaves in the forest
or the sands upon the seashore."
Still the state is gradually increasing
in population. The Western people
are rovers, many of them.never con-
tented long in any one place.
