From the story told by the two sur
vlvors of the terrible experience 1t
seems almost a miracle that there were
not three lives lost instead Of one. The
fact that John w, Taylor had wife
and four little children in Salt Lake
who were depending on him, is the only
solution why he, too, did not lie down
in the snow and die. AS II was, both
men have their feet and hands frozen,
John Burns being the worse Of the
two as his eXtremities are frozen to
the knees and 1t VIII be two or there

the outcome can be arrived at by the
Doctor in attendance.
Both men came to Salt Lake City
last night on the train from Tooele.
They came unattended, but were helped
into hack and driven to their homes.
John Burns alighted at his home to find
all his relatives uptown. He managed
to crawl to the porch when a nelghbor
came TO his assistance and put him TO
bed, and then proceeded to find the
father. Both men presented pltiable
