Wade to Land in Icy Water Up to
Her Arms.

Yampa, March Z. Especial. Mrs.
John E. Reno, of this place, had a
thrilling experience yesterday which
she will probably remember as long as
she lives. In attempting to go to the
home OF her parents in Abingdon, she
found Cedar Creek very much swollen
from the recent rains and overfowing
its banks. She attempted to ford It.
The horse she was driving stuck in
the mud, and in it's wild struggles TO
free itself broke the buggy, and she
was thrown out in the middle of the
creek. Ice in large cakes was flowing
freely, and she was forced to fight
her way to land as best she could,
with the icy water up to her arms
She finally waded out, and reached
the house of neighbor nearby, but
not until her clothing had been frozen
on her body, and she was nearly dead
from exhaustion. Her friends soon
thawed her out however, and furnish.
ed her with dry clothing, and in a
short time she was able to return
home.
