Putnam were 10 miles west of Coulee

across an unsettled part of the country,
a distance Of 80 miles, where there are
no houses.
Immediately after they left the house
of Mr.. Holt, at st. Andrews, it began
to storm. Mr.. johnson was a man

a robust man formerly, but his indoor

they risked their lives by taking most
perilous Journey, and with no suitable
preparation. Saturday the searching
party came upon the body of Johnson.
His feet were in badger hole, and his
left hand indicated that in desperation
he had cut or gnawed it and sucked his
own blood. Putnam was found seven
