Several immigrant wagons with
women and children and household
goods slowly wended their way
through Miller to Midland, west of the
Missouri river. With stoves in the
wagons the women and children were
not suffering from the cold. They said
that the Northwestern railway had
agreed to haul coal into the reserva-
tion for them this winter, but would
agree to haul nothing else. The road
is not there yet, and it may be some
time before it can fulfill it's agree
ment. 1t is now admitted that there
will be much suffering in that section
this winter.
