arose to look after it. Fearing it would
go out, he threw in some kerosene or,
possibly, as some of the neighborS
think, gasoline. An explosion followed,
enVeloping the man in flames. He was
terribly burned, mis- thin attire being
consumed instantly. His screams
brought his young wife from her bed.
With a skirt which she had grabbed
as she al she fought the flames and
managed to drag her husband from
their midst. The whole room was
ablaZe n she realized the uslessness
of trying to extinguish the fast grow
ing fire. Although much smaller than
her sturdy husband, she practically
carried him, herself barefoot, through
the snow to the barn. She laid his
auivering form in a pile of hay and
returned to the house for clothing.
The whole building was in flames.
She could neither enter to get wear
ing apparel nor to telephone to neigh
bors. She knew she must, herself,
go for aid.
Returning to the barn the brave
young bride took the scorched skirt
with which she a fought the flames
and wrapping it about her now semi
concious husband, prepared for the
terrible ordeal of riding through snow
and bitter colo wind, almost nude. A
bride was hastily put on their fleet
est horse but no saddle, the wife
realizing that the warm body Of the
animal must be relied upon to supply

flesh from freezing. And so she be-
gan the notable ride which will be re-
lated for years to come to the children
of this community and state.
Through the dark, moonless night she
urged her horse, her stiffening fingers
and limbs from the biting old being
forgotten in the mental anxiety for her
suffering husband. The thin night
gown offered but meager protection
from the neal zero weather, and the
snow flung from the hoofs of the rum
ming horse struck her continually.
But she conquered, where failure
would nave been more logical. Three
miles We're traversed and a wall from
the freezing wife brought quick re-
Spouse from neighbors. When helped
from her horse she seemed on the verge
of collapse, but rallied quickly and in
sisted upon going back to her husband
at once. She would wait for nothing

Lead City, S. D., March 1S-There are

affairs, protesting against the theft Of
the mule by thirty-five N~icaraguan
