Mr.. Rarnage Of Chicago was in TIE
city q few days ago, renewing old ac-
qualntances Of nearly a quarter Of a
century ago. He had the good for
tune to have his foot cut off in the
city before it was sufficiently large
to support physician and being
pressed to tell the story Of the mis-
fortune which led to the result he
did SO substantially as follows:
"a party If US had been over from
Helena hunting on the Yellowstone
and two of US, Joe Kazee and myself,
came to Bohemian, On way back
to the Yellowstone we stopped at ].
/. Jacks and Hughes cabin. That
was the night Of the last Wednesday
Of January, 1867. We started from
there across the Bozeman pass, where
we got showed in. The snow had
commenced to fall before We had
gotten far from the cabin apd soon
it was so thick that we could see but
a few feet from as and we kept get
ting off the road. Seeing a little
gulch up one side CT the mountain
containing brush we made for it and,
reaching it, dug down into the snow,
put a blanket on poles overhead, built
a fire under the center of it and
hitched u horses on n side while
we lay down on the ether.
Showed in Two Days
"There we stayed until Saturday
morning. During the night before tbs
storm had cleared away, leaving il
very cold. We than came down thC
Main gulch to Middle creek, whe.
we saw a man on the opposite side
standing by his wagon. It turned OH
to be Haywood, who said he wa.
starving to death. I suggested t
Kazee that we bring him to on
cabin, but Kazee said, No, let's g
over and build him a fire. If W
bring him over here, we'll all perish
"Kazee went over and made a fir
of the endgate of the wagon by tn
side Of some logs that had bee
taken cut for. a cabin and were clos
to the wagon.
Go Back After Haywood
! Meanwhile / started up the diviC
with the horses. Kazee soon overtoC
{ me and said that Haywood was in
bad fix and that he tried three tim,
= to reach his cabin, two miles ava
where he said he was making shi,
gles, and failed. I replied: THAT fe
J low will freeze to death before we c;
end back help to him. We had be

and followed me. When we reach

He had a coffee pot and some tea in
his wagon, SO we made. him some tea
and got him warmed up. He had
taken off his boob and could not get
them On again, his feet were so stiff
with the cold. I took off my mecca
sins, did his feet up in them and
pulled his boots on my own feet. IN
fortunately the boots were so small
for me that I had to pull them on
without socks, and there was a hole
in the right one, 50 that it leaked in
the heel and let the snow in.
"We started down the divide about
10 o'clock. I should judge, and were
till. after dark travelling e the
two miles to his cabin. My right
foot was frozen solid when we got
in and / was laid up there for four
weeks.
"a. man who was at HaywcOd's
cabin started to Bozeman for some
stuff for our feet and when near
Hughes cabin got stuck fast in the
snow. Another party from a neigh
boring cabin who knew about u be-
ing at Haywood's passed this man
and tried to get him out of the snow
but failed. He then got help from.
the Hughes cabin, where the man was
taken and where he soon died.
News Brought to BOzeman
"This msn, however, pushed on to
Bozeman, where he carried the news
of our condition. When the snow be-
came hard enough, a party from Boze-
man started out and hunted us up.
"In going over the pass to Boze-
man it was necessary to make steps
up a steep place in the divide where
the snow was very deep. One man
led a horse by the. halter and another
pushed the animal from behind.
Z was taken from my horse and taker
: up in a blanket. We were met at the
Hughes cabin with a sleigh owned BY
John Burnett.
t "When we reached Bozeman we pu
up at the City hotel, run by Bozemal
. and Frazier, and the next day
r messenger was sent down the vale.

A Good Day for Fights


Last Saturday seemed to be a
great day for fights on our streets.
About two o'clock in the afternoon
two angry men got into a very inter-
esting fight on Main street. The
spectators had just become thorough
ly interested in the fracas when the
marshal appeared upon the scene and
walked the .~combatants before Judge
Perkins. The judge calmly wiped
his spectaeles and then in a very I'M
pressive tone, as befitted the occasion
said, "Five dollars and costs.".
Half an hour later in front of the
express office occurred another ex-
hibitiOn CT the manly art. Again the
marshal ~interfered and again Squire
Perkins said, Give Dollars and costs"
