-. ,f,er the severest cold weather last
nth Tommy Redsel, the IS year old
.,r of lin Redsel, who lives on the old
,,:,oent ranch 10 miles down the creek
som DeLamar, started to ride on horse
mol from Rockville, on the Succor creek
road to his fathers home. He got
,hrou9h all right to the top of Trout
creek hill when his horse began to give
~, and could not make his way through
The deep snow. The boy tried getting off
and breaking road for him until he got
him past Cottonwood when it began to
GROW dark and he left the horse and
started on the eight or nine miles to his
home, on foot. He ploughed along as
hest he could until he grew too tired and
sleepy to make any further effort, when
he dug hole in the snow under the
shelter Of a rock and laid down for a rest,
first taking off his shoes and wrapping
couple of silk handkerchiefs, which he
had with him, around his feet and putting
on his shoes again. He looked at his
watch and found it was a O'Clock in the
morning. He had lunch with him, but
did not eat any because it had frozen
hard. He got up again at S O'Clock and
pushed on the remaining seven miles
home, arriving there four hours later.
The boys toes were badly frozen and may
have to be amputated. -DeLamar Nugget.
