Other things greatly to be dreaded are the blinding snow-storm known as a " blizzard," coming suddenly when the sheep are on the opL'n range ; a cold rain that reaches the skin, and sometimes, when freezing follows, encases the sheep in a coat of icy mail ; and deep snow covering the ground for several days. In November, 1879, when Indian summ3r weather and good pasturage were giving promise of safety to flocks that were yet at a distance from home, suddenh' , svith- out any recognized warning,... a furious snow-storm broke upon the plains in the night ; in the morning the thermometer had fallen nearly to zero, the wind was blowing a gale, and nothing could be seen a horse's length. The hastily aroused shepherds and their brave dogs could not control the sheep, although one of the latter killed fourteen sheep in his vigorous eiforts to check their course. The storm lasted three days and nights. Sheep drifted forty and fifty miles from their ranges. Some w^ere buried in snow-drifts ; some died from exposure and want of feed.
