because they had been told by Gen

FROzE TO DEATH

Mr.. Enos Esquire who is down
from the Bruneau country informs
us that a man by the name o.
Kelley was found frozen to death
near the Idaho line a day or two
before New Years. Kelley passed
MIR. Esquire's place on horseback
early in the morning on his way
from Mr.. Nelson's ranch to the
Black Rock ranch, also owned by
Mr.. Nelson. The next day his
body was found by MIR. Esquire
lying by the side Of the road, and
frozen stiff,
The indications were that Kelley
had gotten off his horse and
attempted to start a fire and was
overcome by the cold before he
could do so. He was thinly clad
and was probably nearly frozen
when he got off his hores. Mr..
Equirc took the body to John b.
Scott's place at Rowland, where
1t was prepared for burial and laid
away.
Mr.. Esquire says there were
four or five inches of snow on the
ground where thu body was found
and that it was intensely cold for
several days before New Years.
The next day or so after Kelley's
body vas found George Harvey.
who lives in that section, came
very nearly losing his life from
the cold. He was warmly clad
and to that fact his escape
from being frozen TO death is
attributed.
