PASSING OF PIONEER
John G. Christopher, One Of the
Builders Of the Town, Laid
to Rest Last SUNDAY.

John G. Christopher, one of
Holly's oldest citizens. and one
who has long been identified with
many of her commercial interests
died in the La Junta hospital last
Friday morning at 200 O'Clock.
An operation had been performed
three days previous in the hopes
of saving his life, but to no avail.
Deceased had been in poor health
for the past two years, but the al.
nouncement of his death came as
surprise, AS there had been
abundance of reason to believe
that the surgical operation had
been successful and that the suf.
ferer would regain his strength.
Deceased leaves beside the
widow. four children, May, Ruth,
Charles and Velma to mourn the
death OF an indnlgent husband and
father.
The funeral was held Sunday
afternoon, and the remains were
inferred in the Holly cemetery
The Odd Fellows lodge, of which
the deceased was an honored men,
Der, had charge of the funeral ser
vice
The service was held at the late
residence, Rev Gibbs, officiating.
Many floral tributes attested the
high esteem of which the deceased
had been held by the people of
Holly.
'IohE G. Christopher was born
January 81, 1861, at Oxford. Iowa
where he was married to Miss Liz.
zie Tixon in 1887. In 1897 they
moved to Holly where they have
since made their bone.

about the ears of his horses until each
square inch of them seemed to be on fire,
and the FIRE from ths whip was more to
be dreaded than the bitter cutting Of the
fine ice carried in the wind. Sometimes
koinl At full run, sometimes trottink,
and sometimes Hounderinl through snow
drift that made even q walk Impossible,
the biz team came toward the ranch.
Meanwhile the cow-punchers, occa-
sionally looking out of the old mess house,
which was then where it is now, saw
Lyons and his team show up through the
dense snow, and with 4 yell Of welcome,
they rushed iout, expecting to find him
frozen, but the man who had been Q
newsboy in New York City and the head
hostler for Barnum's show when it trav.
eled over the country, and who drove six
horses more easily than the ordinary man
drives one, was badly dis6tured, hut
most thoroughly alive. His face was
blue, his left ear, lett cheek and the LETT
constant exercise which he got from the
use OF his whip, kept him alive. Two of
the horses had their ears frozen, which
will give one some ides Of the intensity
Of the cold.
SIT was shortly after this that the COW.
boys on the ranch divided themselves into
camps as to whether Lyons could turn
six.horse team around in the old hay barn,
which was then little over half the size
Of the present one. Upon this occasion,
betting ran high, but the six horses were
turned around without the waeon or
horses touching = post.

fences had to be cut, and to save their
lives they had to be drifted south to be
permitted to 10 with the storm. A.
many as 50, 600 were trailed over the river.
During this blizzard two men who
had taken up claims to farm by rainfall
were frozen on the prairie. The claims
were located at the corner where Mr..
Cox and Mr.. Marston now live. The
men had evidently left Granada to 70
home. Ben Riley found the first man,
who was the younger of the two, . youn&
man in the prime Of health, in the draw
where W. RI. Smiths house now is.
They evidently started to 10 to their
homes and found it impossible, and turned
south again. The younk man fave out

he could, as his hand showed evidence Of

Fate, that when he was found he was
within one hundred yards of the house,
but the storm was so binding that he
could not see the lights"

face OF Lyons and a. team, as it can
only be driven by wj6p on the prairie,
Lyons began to saA1 Itand that he had

have ever tried to make six-horse team

requires judicious and constant applica-
tion of the whip to keep their heads up
to the direction you wish to 90. You
will also have learned that the six lines
in your fingers impede the flow Of blood
and make the difficulty Of holding six
lines three times rs great as that Of hold
ins two.
''As q blizzard was not expected, our
hero of this occasion had on q pair of
ordinary buckskin gloves. To keep his
team Of highly strung horses up to the
wind required q constant use OF the whip.
The team at every step tried to turn its
tail to the wind and buckle up, and
Lyons knew If he ever kot of the trail he
was lost. The only residence between

"When our team 90, to the Buffalo creek
crossing of the trail, the cattle in the big
pasture had crowded under the bluffs for
shelter and were SO cowed by the terrible
storm that they refused to move and
make q pssssse through which Lyons
could drive. 1t seemed aX though no
amount of yelling and popping Of his
whip could cut him u way through. The
cattle were 80 stiff from the cold that as
the leaders struck them they would fall
over on the ground. and in some cases
Lyons had to drive over them.
''At one timeNin the midst Of this herd
the nerve Of our friend almost gave out
and he began to wonder If he had not
better turn with the storm and die. Our
townspeople know that Lyons is not
made Of the kind Of stuff that gives
up easily, SO that if the idea of permitting
himself to freeze to death entered his
you can imas sine that the conditions were
