Great Fails, Mont , Oct 25 ?As a result of the recent blizzard which swept through Teton county, (u the northern part of this State, nine men are known to be dead, and of these, five bodies have been recovered. With one exception, all were sheep herders, and ail wore found lying in such positions as to indicate that they had stayed with their flocks to the last, dying in their attempts to save tbe property of their employers. William Graham, working tor tbe Cascade Land Company, was found in a coulle near Ileuly Butte It is evident that be tried hard through the night to get his sheep into camp, but had not succeeded Consciou? that bis death was impending, he re? turned to bis tent about midnight and there wrote and left a note say* ing he was nearly exhausted, but was about to return to the sheep in the suow, his lantern about 20 feet diatant Of his two dogs, one re? mained to guard the body, while the other followed tbe sheep Norman Bruce worked for Will Floweree. lie remained with bis sheep until he managed to drive them into a sheltered spot, where they would be safe. Blinded by the storm, he mistook the coulle where bis cabin was built und wandered up another. Realizing his mistake too late, be turned back and fell lees than 20u yards from home and safty. The searching party found his dog stretched across tbe derfd body Matt Geogorich was found with his arms crossed upon his breast. His dog bad followed the sheep into camp and returned with the rescue party too late H. Herald, working for C R Scoffin, was lying in the deep snow, his beard eater, off be the eheep, which had also eaten his clothes and part of bis boots It is probable that tbe dead list is hardly begun Flocks of sheep with out herders have been reported from various points in the storm district, and later these will be traced and the dead herders found Now the snow covers up e very? thing on tbe prairie, and the cculles. many of them more than 10C1 feet deep and with steep sides, are filled with it This was tbe moat severe and most fatal October storm ever occuring in Montana ? ????**?*?
