NEARLY FROZEN TO DEATH.
Young Woman Near Mitchell Has a
Narrow cap

In ace of being ser ously injured
or perhaps killed, Miss hannah tluter
walked a mile and a half through q
snow covered corn field to a neighbor's
home for protection, freezing both
hands and both feet. Miss Fluter
made her home with her sister. Mrs.
VIM. Kruse, six miles south of Mitch
ell. When Mr.. Kruse came home from
town, it is alleged, he was in an intox-
icated condition, and that he threat
ened to kill everybody in the house.
Miss Fluter, who was on the point OF
retiring for the night, feared that
Kruse would attack her, and with only
"a slight protection of clothing for her
body and her bare feet thrust into I'M
laced shoes, she stole out of the house
and attempted to run to a neiShbor's
residence, one and a half miles away.
Both hands and feet of the girl were
frozen, although it is possible that
both feet and one of her hands can be
saved from amputation. The young
woman was brought to the hospital in
Mitchell.

for about fifteen minutes, all the time
at a height that most observers set at

against the light snowfall which was
covering the city a. h time. The
dark mass of the ship could be dimly
seen behind the light.
After a time 1t disappeared in the
