A young German, who has a claim over on Cat Creek, got lost during the cold wave of last Saturday (Jan, 1888), when on his way from A.B. Moore's place to the home of G.A. Mellhop's, two mile distant in a north-east direction. He was seen by C.E. Howard on the prairie four miles north of Moore's. Howard saw that the German was lost, and tried to get him to come on to town with him , but he would not come. His ears and face were pretty badly frozen. A scarf had been put over his ears when he first started out, but it had dropped back on his shoulders, and he said his hands were so cold he could not put it up again. Howard then told him the way home, and he started in the direction given in a brisk walk. Howard reported the circumstances when he got to town, and it was feared by some that the German might again get lost and freeze to death. Accordingly C.M. Fennell and Mr. Howard bundled up and started in pursuit on horseback, immediately after dinner. In the rounds they called at Mr. Mellhop's and there found the young German enjoying a game of 'seven up' with his ears standing out like a couple of oyster cans.
