A Nebraska paper of recent date contains the following:
"About thirty warriors of the Pawnee tribe started out from their country a week before the storm to find some buffalo, and, if in luck, get a few scalps from their old enemies the Sioux. When out the party divided, some going south, where they found some buffalo, and returned well loaded with meat. The others, equally fortunate, fell in with a party of Sioux, killed several of them, and started back with about forty captured ponies. On their return, and when about eight miles from Lone Tree Station, they were overtaken by the terrible storm of Sunday, and all perished within a day's march of their homes. The bodies of these Indians, with their own and their captured ponies, were all found lying dead together, partly covered with snow and ice, by the runners who were sent out to discover their whereabouts."
