WOMAN O|ES-FROM
COLO AND FATIGUE
MRS. PATTERSON, A PARALYTIC,
CAUGHT IN RECENT SNOW.

The dead body Of Mrs. Wilbur
Patterson has been found on the
prairie about 81 miles southwest of
Ekalaka in the Chalk Butte section,
where she perished from exposure
during the recent snow storm and
cold weather.
The husband of the deceased, WI
liam Patterson, is employed herding
sheep for James Keith and was with
his band at the time that his wife
passed away. 1t is presumed that
Mrs. Patterson started for the sheep
camp to see her husband, but got lost
in the storm and perished from cold
and exhaustion. The buggy in which
she was travelling was overturned and
the horses had been unhitched from
it. Mrs. Patterson's body was found
near the overturned buggy.
Mrs. Patterson was 4 years Of age.
She had suffered two strokes of par
alysis and had almost entirely lost
the use OF her right hand and arm
in consequence. The day before her
death she had complained of not
feeling we'll and her relatives think
it possible she suffered a stroke while
alone with the blizzard prevailing.
Another death due to the blizzard
is reported from Judith Gap. Mrs.
Lman F. Smith had wandered two
miles from her ranch home during
the blizzard. She was found tie next
morning in q garnary two miles away
and although not dead she failed to
rally. Mr.. Smith had been away
from home for a few days and their
daughter was at the home of a
neighbor 1t seems that Mrs. Smith
had gone cut to feed the chickens
and became lost in the snowstorm.
Mr.. Smith came home that night an
thinking that his W'fe and daughter
were with neighbors, did not start a
search until the next morning
