TWO PERISH
in BLIZZARD
Tom Benedick and Alex Hunjak
Victims of Severe Storm.
HAD GONE TO BUY FOOD
Men Lost Their Way and Perished on
Prairie-Found in Drifts
Five Days Later.

Tom Benedlck, the ten-year-old son
of N. Benedick, an Austro- Russian,
near the Canadian line, and Alex Hun
jak, a brother of Mrs. Benedick,
were found frozen to death on Friday,
February 8, between the Roanwood
store and the Benedick claim.
The Benedicks ran short of pro-
visions during the blizzard, which
ragged for several days during the
first part of the month, and Hunjak
and the boy walked over to the
Roanwood store Sunday afternoon to
get some groceries. They started
back home about four o'clock in the
afternoon, each carrying load Of the
purchases they had made. Mr.. Ros-
holt, the storekeeper, advised them
to remain there until the storm abat-
ed, but they thought they could make
it back without any trouble, as there
were three houses between the store
and the Benedick claim where they
could stop for shelter. However,
they lost their way in the storm and
missed all the houses, and, unable to
find shelter on the open prairie, per-
ished from cold and exposure.
Mrs. Benedick was not worried for
a couple of days, and, as there were
no men in the house, both her hus-
band and two sons being held by the
county authorities at Glasgow, she
was unable to even send word to the
neighbors that the men were miss
ing, until Wednesday.
A search was made and the bodies
were found, the body of Tom Bene-
dick being discovered about mile
and half from the Benedick place
The little fellow had apparently lost
i his direction and was going ava,
from instead of towards home. Wher
finally too exhausted to go an!
further, he dropped in the snow fol
his last sleep. -
Hunjak was found by his sister
about mile nearer home. He still
had the parcels of groceries in hi:
arms when he gave up the terrible
struggle against the blizzard, only {
half-mile from the house.
Alex Hunjak was about 40 year.
old, and had come to Canada from
Russia. A wife and six children ar
left to mourn his loss.
Nick Benedick and his son, Steve
had been released from the count,
Jail and were on their way hom
from Glasgow at the time of the trag
edy. They walked all the way fror
Midway and Mr.. Benedick was quit
overcome when he heard at Roam
wood of the death of his son.

the headquarters of the 500 line, are

feared that he had frozen to DEATH

tried to cut a bullet from the breach OF a
gun. The knife slipped and severed four
arteries in his wrist. He was in danger
of bleeding to death. DR.. Meyers, at
Oak Flat, six miles away, gave inStruc-
tons over the phone. Another life was
saved. Mr.. Mionich is rs years old.

COMING.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman.)
Because the time is ripe, the age Is
ready,
Because the world her woman's help
demands,
Out of her long subsection and Sc
clusion,
Come to her field Of warfare and
confusion
The mothers heart and hands.
Long has she stood aside, endured and
waited,
While man swung forward, toiling
on alone,
Now for the weary man, so long
ill-mated,
Now for the world for which she
was created,
Comes woman to her own.
Not for herself, though sweet the air
of freedom,
Not for herself, though dear the
newborn power,
But for the child, who needs a
noble mother,
For the whole people needing one
another,
Comes woman to her hour.
She walketh yelled and sleeping
For she knoweth not her power,
She obeyeth but the pleading,
Of her heart, and the high leading
OF her soul, unto this hour,
Slow advancing, hating, creeping,
Comes the woman to her hour.
She walketh yelled and sleeping
For she knoweth not her power

mrs. Gait AGAINST
LIQUOR INTERESTS
SAYS VICE AND SALOON 6usi'
NESS WITH THE OPPOSITION
EXTRACTS FROM RECENT
ADDRESS.

"The liquor interests and certain
sort of big business torpedoed woman
suffrage in the Eastern states by SUD-
marine attack" Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Gait declared at the final session OK
the Mississippi Valley woman suffrage
conference in Minneapolis.
"Tons Of literature Of scurrilous
nature, bearing no imprint, but eman-
ating from the saloons, appeared from
the invisible enemy Of woman suffrage
during the. campaign in New YORK.
she continued. "The attack was OF
the submarine variety. Decent peo-
pie, except the few conservatives
don't attack woman suffrage. Decent
business doesn't attack suffrage, but
there is a certain sort of big business
which isn't decent which fights u.s."
I'VE never have taken positive
stand on prohibition, but we might as
well realize that the enemies or pro-
hibition and of suffrage are the same.
Prohibition and suffrage arouse the
same enmity. You doubtless are
aware that some of the wholesale deal
ers who do business with the saloons,
the men who sell glasses and equip
ment, contribute to fund which Is
used against suffrage. A saloon man
may honestly say he did not contrib
ute to fund which is used against
suffrage. A saloon man may honestly
say he did not contribute to the anti
suffrage cause. He didn't directly, but
his money was got through this asso-
citation. If you want to know how
much 1t amounts to multiply three
quarters of 5000 saloons in one city
by $50 and you will get an idea OF
what the fund is for the country"

An old Scotchwoman. about whom

kindly. No sheep was so dark that she
could not discover some white spot to
point out to those who could see only the
bIackness. One day gossiping neigh

grily:
"Wumnan, ven hae a guild word to

Instantly came the reply:
"Well, he's vera indus treeous bodyp'
