Show Frozen to Death. A frightful rumor was in circulation yesterday to the effect that a man, woman and child had recently been frozen dead in Logan Canyon. The following is the statement of our informant: On December 22nd, Michael Jensen, with his wife and child, started from Bennington, Bear Lake county, Idaho, to go to their home in Hyrum a few miles south of Logan. About ten days after, a gentleman in Bennington writing to a friend at Hyrum, spoke of the departure of the Jensen's and expressed a hope that they had reached home in safety. A man was immediately sent out on horseback in search. He returned with the dreadful intelligence that a short distance above the Temple saw mill, he had found the three persons -father, mother and child, frozen dead. A party of friends left yesterday to obtain the bodies. The information we could obtain was only meager; and further particulars will probably be learned. A hope is entertained that the rumor may be a false one; but there is little foundation for such a thought. |
