due Immediately to the storm. Deaths
in Minnesota Iowa, Nebraska ana
Montana doubled this total.
The storm seemed to be at its worst
here. Monday morning broke clear and
warm. While there Is no record OF the
temperature, witnesses say that
women hung their washings out to dry
that day without fear of the clothing
freezing.
About noon a cloud was seen In the
southwest. A few minutes later 60
mile wind swept the town, and soon
the wind driven sleet made it i'm
possible to see the length Of city
block.
The drop in temperature in the FIRST
hour is reported as having BEEN from
forty to sixty degrees. Persons who
were only a short distance from their
homes in some cases never reached
safety. Several men were lost between
their barns and their homes, and were
later found frozen within a. few feet OF
their doorways.

heroes or fools. depending on their
missions. Three men, j. Z. Wells tno"

In the country schools there was
considerable loss. In one instance,
teacher dismissed his pupils when he
saw the storm growing. OF the eleven
children who started out. nine never
reached home.
A l3-year- boy was frozen TO
death in his fathers arms near here.
Frank Allen and his son were hauling
hay when the storm overlook them

team refused to face the storm, and
the Aliens dug a hole in the fast pill

the cold crazed horses. After several
hours battle to keep alive, the father
braved the storm, carrying the weak

been able to stand when the start was
made, but was dead when the house
was reached. The horses were frozen.

The State museum has just received
valuable and highly priced gift, al
though it caused the owner much regret
to be enabled to do so. The ostrich that
has for several years been such an at
traction OF the Avenue farm, owned by
George E. Macomber of Augusta, died
during Monday night and the mounted
figure will hereafter be seen at the
museum.
The post mortem disclosed, so far as
could be determined, that the cause of
death was lead poisoning, the ostrich
having recently taken to digging out
and eating the putty from the windows
at his home. Among the other delica-
cies found IN the stomach was about
a quart and half-pint of gravel and a
piece of iron in the shape Of stanchion
fastening that had recently disappeared
from the stable. That is perhaps three
inches long, one inch wide and half an
inch thick 1t had not thoroughly di-
gested.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Ma
comber was the recipient Of the ostrich
several years dSor d si1l mum lis Soh
in-law, Roy II. Bodwell, then touring
the Pacific coast it arriving by Ameri-
can Express and it will also be remem-
bered that Mr.. Macomber was obliged
to draw his check for substantial sum
to settle the express bill, but he did II
with a smile and has grown to care
much for the bird. 1t has been admired
by thousands of people since it's stay
at Avenue farm and will now be ad
mired by other thousands, visitors al
the State museum.
