A BLIZZARD'S VICTIMS.
Many Deaths From Cold and
Hunger in the West.
Poor Settlers Suffering Intensely
for Want of Fuel.
A number of lives have been lost in the terri
ble blizzard prevailing in the western part of
Nebraska, and hundreds of cattle and horses
have been frozen to death- In the newly or
ganized county of Perkin3 the death of a
man and a boy is reported. They were
attempting to make their ranch, twen
ty miles from Ogallala, when the storm
overpowered them. Both were frozen to
death. Another man, named John Grant,
who had been on railroad construction work
on the Black Hills extension of the Burling
ton and Missouri River road, was found
dead a mile from camp.
Reports from Kansas state that deaths from
cold and hunger are constantly coming in
from the more thinly populated districts, and
that many isolated portions have not yet
been beard from.
L. C. Clark, living near Golden, Grant
County, left his family at home to go to
Hartland, the nearest railroad point, for the
purpose of getting coal, his family being with
out fuel. He left Hartland at night and
the next morning was found six miles
from home, lying by the side of his horses,
frozen stiff. Clark's wife and three children
had, in the meantime nearly perished, and
had only saved themselves by leaving their
house and taking refuge from the blizzard in
a cave. Two deaths are reported from
Greely County, on the Colorado line.
A brother and sister named Robert and
Rarah Holzapf el, who lived on a claim in an
unsettled part of Grant County, found them
selves without fuel Sunday evening. They
tore down a small shed to burn the lumber,
and that night all but the small amount
which they had themselves burned was
stolen from them. Early in the morning the
young man went to the town of Horace,
about seven miles distant, and succeeded in
getting 200 pounds of coal late in the after
noon. Being obliged to travel against the
furious wind then blowing, he did not reach
home until nearly midnight. His limbs were
then numb, and he was so exhausted that it
was with great diffiulty that he gained ad
miss'oa to the house. He found his sister
in bed, insensible and almost stiff. She had
been without tire all day, and the poorly built
house afforded her little protection. Although
the young man was almost frozen, he tried to
revive his sister, but without avaiL
A farmer named Johnson was found dead
near his' house in Greely County, Kansas.
He was out looking for fuel and perished.
A widow named Mrs. Riley and her two
little children perished in the storm near
Dighton, in Lane County, Kansas.
They were without fuel and the
storm came so suddenly upon them
that they were unable to get
it. The woman's eldest son started
out in the storm to get coal. He was over
come by the intense cold, but fortunately
wandered to the house of a neighbor. He
was unable to speak, and his arms, ears and
feet were frozen. His life was saved, although
he will probably lose his feet. m
There are also reports of great suffering in
Clark County, Kansas, on the Indian Terri
torv line. A family of four were traveling
overland, and, being but ten miles from home
and several miles from any other house, de
termined to reach home that night in spite of
the terrible storm. The horses were over
come, and the family were obliged to aban
don the horses and walk to the nearest house.
rM fhild froze to death in its
father's arms before shelter was reached, and
others were also badly frozen. The condi
dition of the people in Western and South
western Kansas is very bad.
This part of the State has only been re
cently settled, and some of the counties are
still unorganized. Nearly all the people set
tled on Government claims and were without
money, depending entirely on the crop to be
raised this f all. The crop, however, was a
total failure because of drought, leaving the
people destitute. The majority of the people
Jive in rudely built houses, which afford very
little protection.
