Thursday night Henry Miller, the range foreman for Colonel E. G. Head, with several cowboys, camped near Sierra Grand with 1,800 beel oattle, which they were loading or purposed loading on cars at Folsom. At 4 o'olock that morning a blizzard from the northwest struck the herd, driving tha cattle toward Panhandle, Tex., the cowboys being unable to hold them. The snow was so blinding it was impossible to see fifty feet ahead. Miller called his men together, and they started to follow the herd, and attempted to keep them bunched so iar as possible. The men becamo separated. Friday nijjht one of them wandered into Head's ranch half doad, cold and hunr y. He told his story, and a recruitinri party was immediately sent out, and at noon the frozen bodies of Henry Miller, Joe Martin and Charlea Jolly were found lying in the opea plains not far from Folsom.
