FREDONIA, N. D., Jan. 5.-When
the parents of Ada Steie, aged II. re-
turned to their home, 10 miles south
west of this place, from Norton,
D., where they have been attending
the funeral of the young lady's uncle,
they will find a similar sorrowful mis-
sion awaiting them here. Their daugh'

after dinner time today on the prairie
about half a mile east of Fredonia-
She had been frozen to death.
A severe blizzard ragged here yes
terday and during the afternoon it in
creased in its intensity until it as
sumed the proportions of a veritable
gale. Miss Steie, who has been en-
ployed as school teacher two and
one-half miles north OF here, saw the
storm approaching and dismissed her
scholars yesterday afternoon some
what earlier than usual in order that
they might safely reach their own
homes. Inasmuch as she was board
ing at the home of John Haag, only
forty rods south of the school build
ing. she remained at her desk to fln-
ish up her days work. 1t is presumed
that she continued at work until the
storm became so raging that when
she locked the door and started for
Mr.. Haag's house she could see only
a few yards before her, and lost her
way. She wandered several miles,
and finally, worn out by fatigue and
discouraged because her efforts to
find the house were unavailing, she
sank down in the snow and fell into a
deep sleep-that sleep from which
their is no awakening.
Becoming alarmed at the pro-
tracted absence Of their boarder.
