having splendid time, but says it is
rather cold in the gopher state.
There is more snow in the valley now
than there has been at this time of the
year for several years. Stock is looking
well, but haystacks and strawpiles are
rapidly disappearing. Horses on the
hills are having rather hard time paw
ing the snow in order to get something
to eat. If thaw don't come pretty
soon they will suffer for want Of feed
as there is heavy crust on the snow.
On Tuesday, Feb. 21st, James Nc
Gowan had the misfortune to break his
left leg just above the ankle.
The accident occurred in the timber on
Willow creek about twelve miles from
his home. Bert Paney was with him
at the time. They had got load of
house logs and started for home, but in
going down hill the team became I'M
manageable. Mr.. MCGOWAN jumped
off the load and in doing so broke his
leg. The sleigh was all broke to prices.
Mr. Paney attached two poles to the
side Of horse, with two cross-sticks,
and placed Mr.. MCGOWAN on them and
dragged him down to the Conn ranch,
where they got sleigh and drove home
through raging blizzard. DR.. Craven
was sent for, but he had started for
Helmville that morning. AS it was too
late to reach Philipsburg by telephone
or telegraph they had to wait until the
following morning, when DR.. Conyng-
ham was called and he reduced the
fracture twenty-six hours after the ac-
cident. Mr.. MCGOWAN is now resting
as comfortably as can be expected.
