Frank Schimmelpfennig, employed
by the j. f. Dackins Implement COM
pany, narrowly escaped being frozen
to death during the fierce storm on
Saturday evening while driving to
the home of his daughter east of
Mankato, on the Mapleton road.
Schimmelpfennig stopped the horses
to buckle strap which had come
unfastened and when he again took
his seat in the sleigh his hands were
so numb that he could not hold the
reins. The horses, excited by the
storm, started to run, and Mr..
Schimmelpfennig, unable to pull on
the lines, was jerked from the sleigh
and left lying in the snow while
the frightened animals ran on. After
some time had elapsed, parties home
ward bound in the country, drove
along the road. They discovered Mr..
Schimmelpfenning and reused him
from the stupor into which he had
ficulty that he was able to inform
his rescuers that he resided at 426
North Third street.
After wrapping blankets about
Mr.. Schimmelpfennig, his rescuers
placed him in their vehicle and con-
veyed him to his home, where he
was placed in bed and physician
summoned. Mr.. Schimmelpfennig's
feet were partly frozen and his fin
gers were blue to the knuckles. His
cheeks were also frozen. . He suffer.
ed excruciating pain while the
frozen members were being thawed
out and was unable to speak for
some time. He was SO cold when
brought home that he does not re-
member who saved him from possi-
BILE freezing to death, and as his
wife was away at the time she did
not learn the names. Charles Smith,
who lives in the same house, helped
put Mr. Schimmelpfennig to bed and
to thaw him out, but he did not
know who the men were who saved
Mr.. Schimmelpfennig's life.
Mr. Schimmelpfennig is feeling
considerably better today and is
able to walk around, but had it not
been for the timely arrival of the
man in the cutter he would have
frozen stiff in short time. Mrs.
Schimmelpfennig returned home yes
terday and now her husband is un-
der expert care.
The runaway team was stopped on
Glenwood avenue and Mr.. Dackins
was called. He drove the team
home.
