TWo Aber. Lea Girls
Caught In Blizzard
Young Ladies Have Real From
tier Experience; Had Mar
row Escape

Without doubt when Miss Mabel
Ludtke of the Speltz Grain & Coal
G. and Miss Jesse Waterman OF
KnudsOn 4 SturtZ law ottice read
once more of the frontier life of the
early settlers of Minnesota and the
Great Northwest, they will appreciate
more than ever before the hardships
these study people endured, says The
Albert Lea Daily Tribune.
Saturday evening these two local
girls were caught in the blizzard
which came up suddenly while they
were travelling in a Ford car on their
way TO the home OF Miss Ludtke at
Walters, where they we're going to
spend Sunday. Had it DOT been for
Mr.. Yocum, a farmer, with his team,
the story today in the Tribune might
have been much sadder one.
The girls left Albert Lea over the
&c. N. & ST p in the evening for
Alden. Owing TO the lateness OF the
after dark. Art, brother OF Miss
Ludtke, was there with his Ford to
meet them.
They left Alden shortly after 7
O'clock and before they had gone two
miles the storm broke more fercely
than ever The driving wind forced
the snow into the car until all were
thoroughly chilled. Soon the highway
drifted full and the driver had to get
out time and again TO shovel way
through the deep drifts. When
about a mile from the Yocum farm,
the car ran its nose into hard drift
and there it stuck. The girls cllmEe ed
out and hoping to get warm by siren :
uous exercise ran up and down the
road. Then snow was so deep they
only got colder and soon crept back
into the car worse off than ever.
Realizing the desperate situation
confronting them, Art got out and
getting the girls covered up as best
he could, started on foot for the Yo-
cum farm. After hard struggle thru
the drifts he arrived there and told OF
the plight the girls were in. Mr.. Yo-
cum threw the harness on his best
nags and was soon off to the rescue.
BY the time he got to the half bur
led car the girls were crying pitifully
for their hands and feet were paining
them from the severe chill they had
already received. The car and girls
were landed at the Yocum home in
less than a half hour Gnd Mrs. Yocum
gave the sufferers first aid by rub
bing their feet, hands and faces wiad
snow. .
During the next half hour Mr.. Yo-
cum hauled out two Winnebago cars
stalled in the drifts on the same
highway, All the occupants were
brought to the Yocum home. Later
in the evening when all were thor
oughly warmed, the three loads start
ed out for Walters, all agreeing to
stick together Miss Waterman saws
that they got into Walters late in the
evening, after many delays in the
drifts, cold, tired and very hungry.

Smooth Road Bed
Proven By Candles
Not One Drops In Train Ride
From Mankato To ST. Paul
Over Omaha

W. r. Spornitz of the Omaha station
here claims he has proof that his road
has the smoothest road bed and the
niftiest engine handlers in the north
west. He cites this incident.
Last night when train number four
arrived here from the west and bound
for the twin cities, all lights in the
dining car suddenly went out and
could not be repaired. A hurried call
to a local merchant for candles was
made and the Impoverished lighting sys
tenn installed. Here comes the point
Engineer Andy Leighton on engine
number 3SS pulled that train to St
Paul with so little jarring that nary a
candle was disturbed from its perpen-
dicular between here and st. Paul.
The genial Mankato agent denies
that extraordinary means were taken to
anchor the torches or that they were
of unusual size at the base. He claims
it to be an authentic case and g pre-
cedent in this region.
