From Tuesday's l.-aj; y
Iast evening at play at her home
in the north part of the city. Kathryn
Shellenbarger. daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. E. G. Shellenbarger, was the
victim of an accident that resulted In
the fracture of both bones of the right
wrist. She had climbed into a small
tree In her play and losing her bal
ance In the tree fell to the ground
several feet below and alighted on
the right arm in such a manner as
to cause the fracture. The injured
member was dressed and set by Dr.
R. P. Westover and the victim of the
accident made as comfortable as pos
sible. The many friends of the little
lady are trusting that she may soon
be on the highway to recovery from
her injury and able to resume her
usiiil activities.
From Tuesday s nany
Today is the fifty-eighth anniver
sary of the big Easter storm, which
many old time Nebraska ns remem
oer. It began on Easter Sunday,
April 11. 1873 and lasted for three
days. Altho many people can recall
the blizzard few of them still live
on the spot where they experienced
the big storm. Mrs. Aaron P. Ander
son of Seward, who is spending a
few days In Lincoln, still lives on the
farm where she and her husband saw
the Easter storm develop from a mild
spring mist into a snow storm of
gigantic proportions. The next morn
ing they found snow drifted high
on the windows, making the house
dark, and the storm still raging.
At the end of three days, the bliz
zard having subsided. Mr. Anderson
made his way to the barn and found
it filled with snow which had blown
in thru the log roof. The horses
were snowed in solid, even their
heads being entirely covered. Pat
iently beside ti:eir mothers two little
calves had stood for three days, pack
ed in the snow. Above the head of
each animal was a small hole thru
which it bad been breathing, the
warmth of its breath keeping a pas
sageway for air. None seenien nur:
by the experience altho weak from
standing BO long without food.
Illustrating the violence of the
storm Mrs. Anderson tells of a neigh
bor who went outside on the first
night of the storm to see how the
chickens were faring. The wind
! caught him and he was not able to
stop until he was blown nga:nst some
rough surface which resisted the
force of the wind. Feeling his way
araund over this surface he discov
ered that it was a sod house. In a
few moments he had felt his way to
the door, was admitted and found
that he was at a neighbor's half a
mile away.
Mrs. Anderson, who is one of the
i early settlers in, Seward county will
; hare lived on the same farm four
miles from Seward, sixty years next
November. The house which her
husband built In 1S6S still stands
by a beautiful modern residence.
