A Terrible Storm in the States.
(Per Mail Steamer.) A special to the St. Louis Republican, of February 12th, from Guthrie, Okluhama Territory, gives the following particulars of a storm in that region : — Snow is two feet deep, and reports of suffering and death come from all parts of the territory. Mrs Fannie Spencer, of Homesteader, near Dross, was found frozen still". Many are living in tents and their condition is awful. Mr J. Mulligan, War Ferry, was found frozen to death, and his partner, Harvey Newcotnbe, died from exposure. At Ponca, Mr Cremer and two children were found frozen stiff in coyote burrows, ten yards from their abode. Colonel Henry Milton, the cowboy who was with Buffalo Bill at the World's Fair, was discovered by a party of hunters, early on the 12th inst., dead under his horse at Onderdick. Two Indian pupils were found on the 4th instant, buried under the snow banks. Upon being taken co a house oue of the children died. A family named Searso, near Woodword, was found frozen to death. It is thought that after the snow melts hundreds of dead settlers will be found, along with the remains of thousands of cattle. The storm extended generally over the Eastern and Western States, while Liowues and Texas were ravaged by a cyclone.
