HUNDREDS STARVING.
Awful Tiles ol Suffering from Nebraska-
Help Needed.
Gbeelit ClRTBt, Neb., Jin. 31.
The distress in this part of the state
is appalling No picture of the suf
fering has been overdrawn, and a
great many sad eases hate been sup
pressed. Thus far stock has lived by
pasturing on the dry gass, and there
has been but little cold weather and
no snow.
Hundreds of families have nothing
to eat and no fuel, and children are
so nearly naked that they are kept
from School. At least one-fifth of the
people of this county have become
county charges, which has depleted
the treasury and depreciated county
paper until it is not worth more than
half its face value, and is still going
down. It is impossible for the people
to care for the destitute, and unless a
large amount of outside assistance is
received at onre some of the worthy
farmers and their families will perish
The (people mostly need clothing,
and auything in that line cannot fail
to alleviate the suffering.
Some of the best farmers, whose
lunds are unincumbered, are as des
titute as tenants, because they cannot
realize on any kind or class of secuti
ties. A great many of the floating
population left the state last fall, and
all who are here are actual residents,
most of them owuing their homes.
All the hogs and salaUe cattle bave
been sold and shipped away, and they
have only to depend upon harity,and
f that fails, it is certain death.
A BIG BLIZZARD.
It Will Descend Upon Kansas and Nebraska
Unfortunates.
Denneb, Col,, Jan. 21. Reports
from western Colorado indicate that
a big blizzard is working rapidly east
ward. The wind is high and the tem
perature is rapidly falling. The snow
is very heavy in the mountains, and
great damage, with possible fatalities
from snow slides, are expected.
This storm is general and will work
hardships to the sufferers on the Ne
braska and Kansas farms.
FOR A MAIDEN'S HAND.
The Farmer Boys Battle for Thirty-Two
Rounds.
Hessessy, Okla, January 21 Two
farmer boys Dick Moore and Ike Flood,
were courting Anna Swaeringer. As
she showed no preference for either,
they decided to settle it between
themselves. Seconds were chosen and
a well known sporting gentleman of
Hennessy referred the fight, Queens
bury rules governing. Moore weigh
ing 183 pounds and Flood 175. They
fonght with bare knuckles. It lasted
thirty-two rounds. Knock down af
ter knock down was scored by both
Flood and Moore, and in the thir
teenth round Flood lay on the floor
eight seconds, but got npand severely
punished Moore. As time was called
for the thirty second round, Flood
rushed at Moore, landing heavily on
his heart with his right, following it
up with a terrible swing on the point
of the jaw. Moore fell, striking his
head on the hard floor and was
unconscious for nine minutes. Both
men are sights to behold. Their bod
ies and their faces are masses of brui
ses. It was the bloodiest encounter
that ever occurred in this part of the
country.
