PAUL, Minn., Dec. 17,—Exhausted, half frozen and | nearly starved, Levi Frank, his wife and nine children are in this city today, after fighting their way for 400 miles down the Mississippi on a raft during the recent storms, which culmin- ated Friday night in a blizzard. During the blizzard their row- boats became stranded on an island, and the family were nearly dead from five days’ exposure when they were rescued. Frank is in a precarious condition from sickness, brought on by his attempts to swim from the island to shore to sum- }mon assistance, and his daughter Leila is in a hodgital, suf- fering from pneumonia and typhoid fever. j Frank lived at the headwaters of the Pine river. When the timber disappeared his means of livelihood was gone, and he determined to return to relatives down the river. Lacking money to transport the family by train, boats were built, and | they undertook the journey in them. | They tell pitiful stories of nights and days in fearful storms on the river. When the blizzard struck them their pro- visions were practically exhausted. A farmer sighted them from the shore and came to their aid.
