OUT IN A BLIZZARD.
MAN WALKED ALL NIGHT TO
SAVE HIS LIFE.
LOOKED OFTEN At HOT STOVE
Waitingroom Door at Railway Station
Was Barred Against Him-Tale
Told by Montanan.

While reading of the billiards that
have worried the people in some parts
of the East recently" remarked an old
time MOntanan at the Finlen this MORN
ing, Il am reminded of an experience
had in storm few years ago.
Il was doing some mining over in
Madison county and received word one
day that would have to come to Butte
Immediately. 1 started out to walk the
80 miles that lay between me and the
small station where I was to catch the
train.
During the day a driving snowstorm
came up, and it grew very cold. l hus-
tied along and towards night I found
myself within few miles of the sta
ton.
Famished and Chilled.
II tried to get something to eat along
the road. bn. was not successful, and
about s o'clock in the evening rolled into
the little town almost famished and
chilled through.
1.-The train on which I was to come
to Butte was not due until the following
morning, and l thought it would be a
pretty dreary night to spend the time in
the station waiting room. However. as
it turned out, 1 did not even get into the
waiting room.
''When l tried the door of the station
it was locked, and the agent pOked his
head out of the window and gruftly in
formed me that the waiting room would
not be open until 30 minutes before the
train was due.
Not Company's Policy.
II was certain that the agent was not
carrying out the policy of the company
in barring me from the waiting room,
but that knowledge under the circum-
stances did me little good.
Il was simply up against it, as the
saying goes, and the only thing that was
| left for me to do was to hustle around
and keep from freezing to death.
II chased up and down the track like
| a man who was running foot race, the
| snow driving into my face and the cold
| shooting through me all the time.
"Once in a while 1 took a peer through
| the station windows at the hot stove and
| then drove out again into the storm to
| insure the continuance of my circula-
ton.
1T was long night, but morning fin
ally came, and then l had a little better
show The paths + had been making in
the snow during the night could be seen
more plainly, and it was less trouble
some to keep my footing.
about half an hOur before the lfaln
came the door to the station waiting room
swung open and got few minutes in
which to toast myself before the big
stove.
MY ears and fingers had frozen dur
ing the night and before reached Butte
I was swollen and blistered from the
effects of my exposure and hungry
enough to eat fried saddle skirt.
But lived through it all, and l don't
think I am ever likely to forget about
what a blizzard is in this country.

DAVIS ESTATE REPORT.
Improbable Real Property of tn
Estate.

j. H. Leyson, as receiver in the suit OF
Ellen S. Cornue against Henry A. Roote
and others has filed report in the dis
trict court concerning the condition of
the real property of the Davis estate.
He reports that the only money now in
the estate is $346.04..
The report contains an account of the
condition of several mining claims and
two or three ranches in the Davis es-
tate.
The Davis ranch at Manhattan, con-
tanning 24O acres, is rented to man
for taxes and repairs, and the Owsley
ranch is leased from month to month.
"A man named John McCrimmon is re-
ported to have made an attempt to jump
strip of ground six feet wide. alleged
to belong to the estate, at Arizona and
Broadway streets.
The Mount Moriah lode claim is being
worked without returns, and other claims
are yielding no income. while dumps are
being stolen and mining works reduced
to ruin by the elements.

TO COME TO TRIAL.

There Is every indication that the law
abiding people OF Lancaster will make
another effort to wipe out the disgrace,
that she has been lsboring under from
the Illicit dealing In liquor. For one
reason or another our county officials
and juries have seen fit TO let these law
breakers escape, until mention OF the
name OF the county in many quarters
produces only scofHng Recently there
were charges preferred against a speak.
easy dealer OF the county aud the case
was taken from the Justice and carried
to-goodness only knows where. At
any rate no results have been made
known. AT present there are indict-
ments against several parties for running
speak-easies. They are, we believe, to
come before the county court. Trial is
refused in magistrates court. This may
be ali right, aud we hope il is, but 1t is a
recent change In procedure. One of the
parties not long ago confessed judgment
to similar infraction of law In neigh
boring county aud compromise fine was
placed upon him with the understanding
that he leave the county. This led to
his stepping over here into Lancaster,
where he is now under Indictment for
doing what he had TO leave another
county Tor. II rests with the county
officials to put him again on the move
IL they do not the county suffers
deeper grievance by becoming the pro-
tector of lswless scum from other
counties.
Only forty-eight hours ago did
the action recently taken in re-
spect to prosecuting those under indict-
ment become generally known. Good
citizens are righteously indignant over
the status Of liquor affairs. They un-
doubleday have as strong cases as are
necessary to convict, and they mean to
give the officials another chance to live
up to their sworn duty. We hardly ex.
pect such results as the welfare of the
county deserves, for the old complaint of
selecting jury stands just where IL did
before. But the people mean 10 PIT the
court officers on record-to draw the
line as to whether some men (among
them aliens) who are miserable citizens
and practically non-taxpayers shall out
weigh the wishes of Lancaster's best and
staunchest citizen, the bone and sinew of
the county and the ones who make her
material, social aud moral wealth. l..
