FROZE TO DEATH ON HORSE

Ranchman Bld well Lost His Life While Driving His Herd* to Shelter. Kansas City.—Many details of privations suffered by ranchers became known. Frozen to' death in his saddle, his horse dead under him, and scores of dead cattle about him, T. C. Bidwell, a ranchman, was found half-burled in the snow near Scott City. Kan. Bidwell lost his life trying to drive, his herds to shelter. 1 The railroads are still fighting fora passage'through western Kansas. The Santa Fe has -been open to Dodge City, but west of that point the line is blocked by drifts in some places 30 feet h igh. Although a rise of from 10 to 20 degrees in temperature has alleviated suffering here and in the southwest, normal condition* probably will not prevail inside of a week. Seven degrees below zero was recorded here.
