Snow Storms in Galicia.
A -VIenna dispatch says: Severe snow
storms, accompanied by thunder and light
ning, are reported throughout GalIcia. At
Skowina Sunday lightning struck a church
and killed one person. Many people were
injured at Saybusch, where lightning set
fire to a church. Trains are snowed up and
traffic is practically suspended.
could have followed the signs almost as un
erringly as the Indians, for each had had
long years of experience all over the west;
butt, despite the steadily falling snow, the
traces of hoofs and, for a time, of travols
poles could be readily seen and followed In
the dim gray light of the blanketed skies.
Somewhere aloft, above the film of cloud,
the silvery moon was shining, and that was
illumination more than enough for men of
their years on the trail.
For over an hour Blake followed the
windings of .a ravine that grew closer and
steeper as It burrowed Into the hills. Old
game trails are as good as turnpikes in the
eyes of the plainaman. It was when the
ravine began to splt into branches that the
problem might have puzzled them had not
the white fleece lain two inches deep on the
level when "Lo" made his dash to escape.
liow the rough edges of the original Im
pression were merely rounded over by the
new-fallen snow. The hollows and ruts
and depresslin led on from one deep cleft
into another, and by niidnight Blake felt
sure the quarry could he but a few miles
ahead and Bear Cliff barelyfiBye hours'
march away. So, noiselessly, the signal
"Halti" went rearward down the long,
dark, sinuous column of twos, and every
man slipped out of saddle, some of them
stamping, so numb were theIr feet. With
every mile the air had grown keener am!
colder. They were glad when the next
word whispered was, "Lead on!" Instead of
**Mount."
By this time they were far up among the
plne-fringed heights, with the broad valley
of the Big Horn lying outspread to the
west, invisible as the stars above, and
neither by r nging shot nor winge4 arrow
had. the leaers known the faintest check:.
It seemed as though the Indians, in their
desperate effort to carry off the most Im
portant or valued of their charges, were
bending all their energies to expediting the
retreat. Time enough to turn on the wur
suers When once the rocks had closed about
them--When the wounded were safe in the
fastnsses, and the pursuers far from sup
ports. But, at the foot of a steep. ascent,
-th two leading scouts-realsergeats of
rival troops, but devoted friends for nearly
twenty years-were seen by the nezt la
colun, a single corporal following. them
at thirty yards' distance, to halt and begin
poking at some dark object by the wayside.
Then they pushed on again. A dead pony,
