AN AWFUL NIGHT IN A STORM Sufferirgs of a Son end Auxiety of a Mother. CAUGHT OUT IN THE ELEMENTS. Experience of the Fifteen-Year-Old Son of a Baptist Missionary in a Terrible Dakdta Blizzard, The Sad Narrative, W. H. Swartz, who until recently has in the employ of the Baptist Missionary society of New York, as 4 missionary in the neighborhood of Parkston, Dak., about five iniles from which place his family reside, is in the of a brother-in-law, Mr. A L. of 1214 South Thirty-fourth street. s reporter called upon the rev- erend gentleman last evening to obtain from him the particulars of a son's experience and the anxiety of Mrs, Swartz during the terri- ble blizard which swept over the west on the memorable January 12 last. Mr. Swartz was away from home at the time, but he per- mitted the reporter to copy the appended lot- ters from his wife and son narrating the c cumstances, THE MOTHER'S LETTE! My Dear Husbund: You have doubtless learned ere this all about Arthur's sad ex- perience in the terrible blizzard. But the facts have not all been told. After lying eighteen hours in his little sled he was so ncarly frozen that ho had to make a desper- ate effort to get out of the sled and onto his feet and when he reached the house, which fortunately was near where he lay, he fainted. The fun fl - suppe 1 he was dying, but they gave him some stimulants which revived him and then kindly prepared him something warm to cat and drink, and during the day he seemed to recover, but after toil- ing hard all day trying to save his team and then losing them, as they were so badly frozen, he was thrown into a fever and delirium, He raved piteously about his poor horses, did not know how we could do_with- out team, but fortunately we were able to secure a doctor who gave him an opiate and he went to sleep. He seems quite well now, though weak. How grateful we are over his recovery. Oh, how near death’s door he was. shall I deseribe my own suffering. cems 1 have suffered more than_our poor boy. I am almost prostrate. When the storm came up we knew he must be lost and all afternoon and night as the wind howled and the storm and cold inteusitied. The next_day your brother started in search of him but the cold was so intense and the dis- tance he had to travel prevented his return that Oh! what weary hours. The next day while watching out for him we saw him coming through the fields alone without Arthur, without the team, and we knew something was wrong, Could it be that our boy was buried in the snow, cold in death! Oh, the suspense the anxitey of those moments. I thought I could not live till he reached the house. And I could not speak, I feared to open my lips or to hear him utter a word, but the children, you know how eager they would be and impatient, They gathered t the door pale and agitated and as soon as uncle” was near enough, to be heard cried out, “Did you find him?" *Yes.” “Is he alive Yes.” Oh, the burden that rolled from my poor heart, and as we learned that he had escaped with scarcely any injury at all you cannot imagine our joy. Surely we have reasons for congratulation and thanksgiving to God. 1 felt so sorry to lose my poor **Dolli but what is the loss of a horse when our dear boy is preserved to us! Your loving wife, May R. arkston, Dal TIE SON'S LETTER, My Dear Father: You wishto know where T was lost in the stormand what my thoughts were when 4 found myself los As you have heard 1 started for Parkston about 11 o'clock for some coal, and when about five fully. Another man had his mnkle sprained and was taken to St ~Joseph's bospital, whence he afterward left o go to Dr. € braith, the ompany's surgeon. Mr. Hol- brook, it i8 claimed, was strugk on the head with a chunk of coal and Wruised, Holbrook's gang was sueceaded at about 10 o'clock by asmaller forceof men under For man Carcy, of the Blufts,awhe put the finish- ing touches to the rough ‘work of the morn- ing. This over, Conductor Uassidy settled a string of cars over the line and the work was over. A Ber reporter called upen the superin: tendent at the gas works and learned from him that the employes at #he works had acted on their own authority, yet avhat they had aone was heartily in accord with the feelings of the company. He consdered the act an illegal one, and if he had been there he would, perhaps, have acted even ' more determinedly than the men did yet. The Union Pacific had no right in the alley and and their laying of track was wrong and should have been prevented by force. Mr. Pritchett, the attorney of the company, he - said, had been notified of the affairand had said that the road in question had no right of Way through the alley, and would m the morning take the steps necessa Mr. Batton said the company was opp the track there because it closed the alley up to them. Th could not unload there or drive team in or out without danger. Be- sides, it would interfere with their getting at their pipes as readily as_required, and would shut off connection with them and their receiver when cars stood on the track. Again, there were places around their works near which they never used a light, and they had instructed their men never to go near them with a candle, lamp or match, These engines which would run up and down there, would be a danger to such places with their sparks, and might cuuse great loss of life and property. Mr. Button, in conclusion, said that the company had no knowledge that the march was to be stolen by the Union Pacific until after the work had been commenced. He said, how- ever, that a steal had not been entirely over- looked, because injunction papers had been made out some time and all that remained to be inserted before making application to the court was the time and place of the laying of the track. i it SBOUTH OMAHA NEWS, The K. of L.

Now the owner of the building rented by the council dont want to have the cellar used a8 a lock up, and won't sign o lease, but as the city has possession it's probable they will stay there. There were no arrests reported Saturday and Sunday, and the prespects are that Judge Reuther will observe Monday as a holiday.

The regular monthly meeting of this or- ganization was held in St. Philomena's hall last evening. Mr. T. Fallon occupied the chair. Owing to the indisposition of the regular president of the league the cntertain ment characteristic of these meetings was neglected, neverthless those present enjoyed themselves in djscussing the present aspect of matters pertaining to the league. From the zeal and earnestness displayed by those present there is every reason to believe that there will soon be a very flourishing branch of the organization in this city. The next meeting will be held in the same place on the miles out I was overtaken by the storm and in a few minutes the air grew so dark with the driving snow I could not see the horses heads, and I was unable to see the road, so I dropped the lines and let them drift with the storm. In a little while they began flounder- in the snow and stopped. I sup- posed I had got into a ravine but on examination I found I was in a corn field in five to six feet of snow. 1 got back into the sled again and tried to urge them through it, but in their plunging one of them threw his front leg over the pole and neck yoke. Then 1 knew it was all up with me, so [ unhitched them and let them go. I then got into the sled, wrapped the robe around my feet and legs, put the quiltover my head and shoulders and laid down in the box and thought “Well, by God's help I have got this far, and by God's help I will get through,” and in_ten This was about 1o'clock in the afternoon. About dark I awoke. Iraised up and looked out and the blizzard was just getting there, and I said **Well, this is all right, for it may be I wiil get through it all right, and may be I won't, 8o good bye to all, and oh, Lord, help me,” and I laid down again. 1 did not feel afraid. Twas not alarmed at all, and soon [ was asleep again. _About daylight I woke up, Iwas all right. I thought the sunow had drifted over e and I did not feel cold, though I found presently that I was badly chilled and stiff, AsI got out of the sled and attempted to walk I fell over. I got up and tried again, but no go. My legs were stiff and so numb I could not move them. I began to pound them and rub them, and by and by 1 got on my feet, and as 1 started T cought sight of the top of a house only about twenty-five rods away. I made for it, you bet, and after stumbling over four or five times I got to the door and woke up the fam- ily, and they helped me in. But as soon as they made a fire and it began to grow warm I was seized with a terrible pain and things pw dark and 1 fell over on a chair, When me to, the man gave me some stimulunt, and it revived me, and when I got something to eat and drink I was all right, only a little weak. I guess I am the stuff they need out ther I ran into the mower once, you know, but the doctor managed to save my feet. Last summer I was in the barn when the cyclone blew it down, and now I have been eighteen hours in the worst blizzard that ever howled over Dakota or any other country. 1am going to school now, and I expect somebody will hear of me some time, Your loving son, ARTHUR SWARTZ, “AT SUNRISE IN THE MORNING.” The Union Pacific Steals Its Way Up the Gas-Works Alley. Yesterday morning at 6:30 o'clock the Union Pacific massea about s at the intersection of the alley between Jackson and Leavenworth streets with Eleventh street. The force was under the direction of Roadmaster Holbrook and immediately stretehed ties and rails aleng the -alley w from the east side of Eleventh street. Up to the latter point the track had ulready been laid and used for a couple of years by the Richardson Drug company and other heay shippers on that thoroughfare. A short dis- tance west of Eleventh street the workmen encounteted opposition: They were ordered by some of the gas company's employes to lay no tracks in front of the property of the corporation which lies on both sides of the alley, on one side being the generating works and one large receiver and on the other the big receiver. The track layers, however, vaid no attention to the orders and continued at work putting down ties, extending rails and spiking them with rapidit; The gas men then resorted to their hose and directed a heavy stream of water upon the railroad men, but that also was without effect. As soon as one gang got thoroughly saturated with water and then frozen with & coating of ice, another gang took its place, In this manner the track was extended past the works aud out of the reach of the hose, after the men had been subjected to the latter for nearly forty minutes. About $:30 o'clock the rails were lmd in a very rough manner up to the east side of Thirtecnth, and a line of platform cars for mearly the entire distance extended over them. Road- master Holbrook was like an ice man when he got through with his ducking, so much so that 1t was with dificulty that he took off his coat, and when he did it stood up as rigid and gloss, if it had been made of glass. He then dismissed his men to save them from colds. Besides the water, it is claimed that the gus employes threw several pieces of canl at the trackmen, striking on the back a man named Gorman, who resides on Thirteenth street, near the scene, and injuring him pain- second Sunday of March at the usual hour. ral prominent speaicers will be present to uddress the meeting.

A Washington correspondent relates the following: The story of the little boy who picked up a pin‘in front of the 1thy merchant and was rewarded for his industry by a $1.200 clerkship, isnow rather eclipsed by a recent incident in Postmaster General Dickinson’s career, It happened after he had been appointed by the president and before he had been confirmed by the senate, during which period his status at the postoffice de- partment was rather doubtful. One af- ternoon, late, he was about to step into the side entrance when the zealous door- keeper interposed: Too late “But, b ness inside. Are you a member of congress?”’ “No. “Have you an ovder from a member: “No.” “Can’t get get in, then; too late.” “Well, when can 1 get in?” | “Dunno.” “Who can tell—" “Dunno, move on now.” It was then that Mr. Dickinson re- tired and entered by another door. The doorkeeper in the meantime pursued the even tenor of his ways, satisfied thaj he had done the right the right thing and vindicated the authority of the authority of the pestmaster general’ Not long aftérward he was astonished, however, to receive an order to call on the new postmaster gemeral, who had in the meantime been confirmed by the senate. His astonishment:may be bet- ter imagined than deseribed when he confronted in Mr. Dickinson the stran- whom he had treated so ungraci- y. His new chief, though, proved magnanimous.
