On Saturday William Lcilin and his To-
year-old boy came to Florence from their
home, six miles from Florence. to do
some trading. After spending the day
about town, at p. m. they started Tor
home in their wagon. 1t was raining
when they left town, but when out
about five miles the rain turned to a
binding snow storm. The father lost
his way and wandered about among
scrub pine and in the hills all night.
The wagon and team were abandoned
and an effort made to reach home on
fYt' ,., s,,
AS the night wore on the little fellow
became cold and numb and froze to
death in his fathers arms.
The father managed to keep alive by
walking until he could walk no more
from numbness of limb. Daylight broke
and Leilin knew he was not far from
home. but was unable to walk. At
O'Clock his cries were heard by his wife
who went to his rescue. Neighbors were
summoned and the old gentleman was
assisted to his home, but he was 80 neal
dead that he could not give an intelli
gent account of the nights wanderings
but the dead body OF the boy told "a pitt
full story of lack of sufficient clothing
to keep him warm. He wore knee pant
and small coat, but no underwear no
outer coat. His shoes and stockings wer
almost completely worn out.
