Teachers Freeze to Death.

Butte. Feb. 3.-Realizing they
were slowly freezing to death in
their little homestead cabin east
of Havre, two school teachers
wrote letters to their mother back
in Ohio, bidding farewell to the
folks at home and telling Of the
bitter cold that was robbing them
of their spark Of life they were
trying to keep glowing while the
thermometer stood at 60 degrees
below zero. The story was brot
to Butte by Cliff Need, a travel
ing man. who has just returned
from northern Montana. Mr..
Need was in the village OUT of
Havre when the frozen bodies of
the two school teachers were
brought in. Their names were
Misses Moore. The letters. &C.
cording to Mr.. Need, were pa
thetic. The girls recalled their
childhood and told of the piercing
cold. The nearest inhabitant was
nine miles away and a trip thru
the fierce blizzard was hopeless.
The two school teachers took
up a homestead about one year
ago. For six weeks prior to their
deaths they resided with q ranch
er and his wife about nine miles
from their own homestead. Their
funds ran low and the sisters de-
cided to live on their own place
to cut expenses. The rancher
drove them to their little home
and, believing he had left them
comfortably fixed, returned. It
was when the rancher got out Of
sight, according to Mr.. Need,
that the teachers realized they
had no matches. It was on that
night when the mercury dropped
40 degrees in an hour. By morn
ing it was 60 degrees below zero.
1t seems they were unable to
start a fire and in the blizzard it
meant certain death.
The girls had few blankets,
and these were of practically no
use in the severe weather. Rea-
lizing they were freezing todeath,
the sisters each wrote a letter to
their mother. Their frozen bodies
were found Saturday wrapped in
The Ekalaka eagle. [volume] (Ekalaka, Mont.) 1909-1920, 1916-02-11

blankets. The letters, which lay
on the table with ''goodbves''
sprawled by frozen fingers, have
been sent on.
Mr.. Need brought the first
news of the tragedy of the storm
to Butte. He went through some
of the severe weather up north
himself and saw the letters that
were posted home. The bodies
will be shipped back east.
