Sylvester Gregg, of St. Joseph, Nearly
Frozen In Alaska.

Frozen in Alaska.
st. Joseph, No, Feb. IA lette,
was received by Mrs. Grogg from
her husband, Sylvester Gregg, a ST.
Joseph printer, who was one of the
party caught 10 a blizzard on Valdez
glacier, Alaska. He is now at Port
VALDEZ and will recover without the
loss of n limb. Other members Of
the party were less fortunate
Grogg's description of the three
frightful days spent wandering over
the ice is a graphic pen picture of
the trials and suffering of the argo.
nauts in the frozen north
Nine men started with packs and
sledges from Twelve Mile house TO
Port Valdez, a distances of twenty
nine miles across the glacier A
terrific blizzard came up when they
were on top of the glacier; and they
lost the trail. After many narrow
escapes from falling into apparently
bottomless crevices, they all lay
down to pass the night in cavern
scooped out in the snow It drifted
over them and caked, almost suffo
eating them, and they were forced
to stay awake and keep moving
The first day they had thrown
away their packs. Three were with
out snow shoes and were assisted by
the others. Three Of the party
turned back and were frozen to
death. The others pushed on in the
blizzard, going for thirty-six hours
without food or water, ard lodged
the second night in an untenanted
shelter house erected on the glacier
by The Christian Endeayorers. There
they found morsel of food. The
third day they succeeded in reaching
Port Valdez, Grogg ana two others
so badly frozen that one died. The /
trip was early in November, and
Grogg's letter was dated January
is. He has been confined to his bed +
IN the interim. Only one vessel put
into Port VALDEZ IN three months.
Groggs party has ssaked claims on
tributaries OF Copper river, ana
rash is expected there in the spring. /
as good prospects were found.

Are Your Horses Feet All Right

Does he stand on a dry floor? are
his hoofs cracked and sore has he
contracted feet, corns, quarter cracks
or thrush :? Have you felt that you
ought to be to the expense of getting
a veterinary to prescribe for him ?
Before doing so try Morrison's English
Liniment, a single bottle kept at hand
will save you all this worry and ex-
pence, and it will also cure sore back
and shoulders, sprains, contracted
cords, swellings and lameness. For
fresh cuts, corlls, wounds, etc, an APP
plication will at once stop its bleeding
and give relief. 1t is one of the best
remedies ever used upon horse. Be
