With both feet and one ankle severe
ly frozen, John Dowd appeared at
the Century house early Thursday
morning, walking barefooted through
the snow He was thoroughly be-
numbed with cold, but was able to
explain his condition and ask for as
sistance, which was quickly given.
Dowd had found himself without
lodging Wednesday night, and had
gone into a shed not far from the
hotel to sleep. His shoes and stock
ings were wet and he took them off,
thinking they would dry. The shed
was without heat and rather open to
the weather, and it seems strange
that Dowd did not freeze to death.
He awoke Thursday morning to find
his feet frozen and walked at once to
the hotel. DR.. @. W. jackson was
called and gave Duwd prompt at.
tention. Although his injuries are
severe and very painful, the doctor
anticipates no serious results. Ampu-
tation will not be necessary. Dowd
