LOST IN THE MOUNTAINS

Pocatello Men Out in Snow Storm for 36 Hours in Seven Devils District.  

Council Advance:  W. B. Daty and L. B. Bradley of Pocatello, Idaho, while 
inspecting the timber near the Kramer state station on the Council-Seven Devils 
stage line Wednesday of last week, became confused in the snow storm that was 
then raging and became lost in the mountains.  Upon their non-appearance at the 
stage station, Mr. Kramer sent out a searching party, who, after many hours of 
diligent search, found the lost men almost famished for the want of food and so 
badly chilled that it was with much difficulty that they were able to get them 
to the station where it was found they were not materially injured.  When it is 
taken into consideration that the parties had been wandering for 36 hours in the
mountains in snow from 18 inches to three feet deep, their escape seems almost
miraculous.
