Terrible Exposure III UtaH-A III an
Buried for Three Days in a. Snow


Drift.


A correspondent of the Deserted Nems,
writing from, Heber City, Wasatch county,
gives the following account of a most ex-
traordiDary case Of exposure:


''On Sunday, the 29th ult., young man
named John Lee, started on foot from this
city TO go to Heller City. On that Tuesday
following he was at William Kimbal's and
started from that place to go over the
mountains. 4 heavy snow storm coming
on, he lost his way in the binding drift,
and travelled in the snow from Tuesday till
Saturday, when exhausted nature could
endure no more, and he sank down. Think.
ing that he was going TO die, be sought a
hole where he might lie and not be so ex-
posed in his last moments as he would be
On the level snow. Here he was covered
by the snow drift, the storm continuing,
until he was completely buried in, how
deep he did not know, but believed there
was about five feet of snow over him. In
state of partial unconscl0usness he lay
until Tuesday morning, as he afterwards
learned, when he thought he saw the sun
rising, and with the thought came hope and
desire to dig his way out. He had on
two hickory shirts and two heavy coats, but
in his efforts to free himself.from the snowy
tomb In which be was buried, his clothes
were worn through, and tue skin and part
of the flesh were worn off his elbows. As
he got his head over the snow, he saw a
man coming down from the mountains, to
whom he made signals and this person, a
young man named Galloway, faom Rhoads'
Valley, came to him and helped him out
Galloway then started for the nearest
house, at Hallstone' ranch, some three
miles off, for assistance. He found some
teams from Heber City, and Lee having
been brought down to the road where a
sleigh could get to him, one of them took
him on; but horse team soon after passing
he was taken by it to the fort at Heber
City During all the time of his exposure
from leaving Kimbali' 5 he had been with
out food. 1t was nearly sun down when he
was got down to the road, and the air was
very cold. When he reached iIeber City
it was found that his arms and legs were
frozen ; and though living when Murdoch
left, his recovery was considered almost
hopeless,

fatal encounter which took place last Friday
at Smyrna, on the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga railroad. A man named Farmer,
possessed Of immense muscular strength,
and regarded in that section Of country as
somewhat Of desperate, went into Cain
grocery and commenced a murderous at
tack on him with huge knife. The latter
would have undoubtedly been cut tc
pieces had he not been protected by the
counter A Farmer was about to cross
this barrier, Cain took down his revolver
and shot him six times, two of the ball:
passing completely through his body. The
attack was followed up with an axe, bu;
although Farmer was struck several times
with this dangerous weapon, he managed
to keep on his feet, and retreated from the
grocery to the road. where he sat down
Some friends soon conveyed him to house,
where he died about 9 o'clock Sunday

On Friday morning, the twelfth instant,
Governor Tod of Ohio arose early, as was
his wont, with the intention of coming to
Cleveland on business. When but partly
dressed he complained of sudden indis-
position, and said he would lie down for
few moments. The disease which had at
tackled him, and which is supposed to have
been apopleXy, seemed to insiuuate itself
into his system with lightning like ra-
pidity, stopping here and there a
pulse, and drying up one after an
other of his arteries until in the course of
half an hour his heart beat only family.
Still the destroyer kept on gathering UP
the chords of the heart until in a short time
after the first symptoms of illness the heart
was still, the eyes closed and the great
man was no more. He seemed to be in but
little pain, but had no word for any one
except his wife, whom he could not bear
out of his sight. She remained near him
administering to bis wants as far as possible
but little dreaming that she was so soon to
be made widow. The change from life to
death was so rapid that none of the house
hold could realize their loss, while the news
OF it seemed to numb the hearts of the peo-
pie, and ioT 0 time no one could believe
that it wassso.

no doubt that this financial despotism

present financial despotism which is By

to rob the people by drawing into their

A MOdel Dcfeucc of Gencrai GrHnt


The New York Times defends General
GRANT, aud concludes review of the
recent correspondence by declaring that
"as to his final action we think there
can be no doubt as TO its propriety"
Here is specimen of the facts with
which the Times studs the reasoning by
which it reaches this sage conclusion:


In appointing General Grant Secreta-
ry ad interim. he the President intend
ed that he should retain the place until
the question had been decided. Gener-
al Grant seems according to the testi-
mony, TO have given the President to
understand that he wOWld either do so, or
else resign IN time for the President TO dp-
point some one Who wOuId. IN POINT OF
FACT, HOWEVER, HE DID NOT Do EITHER.

other, but did neither, and yet we are
told that there can be no doabt as to

occasion for divorce suits there, if many

Chinese Gambling Houses In San FRANCISCO


A San Francisco paper, in reporting
the arrest of the Cinnamon in that city
for gambling, gives the following ac-
count of an unsuccessful attempt pre-
viously made;


The officers have frequently attempted
to get into the gaming houses kept by
individuals of that race, but seldom with
success. The games are usually carried
on in an inner room, to which there is
no entrance save through very narrow
hall, with many sharp angles and posted
sentries to obstruct the passage ofstrang-
ers or police officers. This arrange
ment renders it very difficult to obtain
admission to any of these places. About
three weeks since Officer Pines, who
participated in the present arrest, went
10 one of these Chinese houses with two
other officers He succeeded in pushing
past the first sentry, and entered the
narrow hall, but suddenly slip-n6ose
was dropped from hole in the ceiling
above, which fell over his head, and a
vigorous and sudden jerk upward
frightened the rope about his neck, and
he found himself lifted almost off his
feet. The men above had good will
to raise him to the ceiling and choke
him to death, but the other officers
rushed in, cut the rope, and released
him. His neck was considerably injured
by the moose, and, ss no one could be
seen, the officers did not attempt to go
farther.
