Farm Near" Scene" of - :
. Colorado Disaster
MONMOUTH. April 9 Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Robison ot Monmouth
were farming 10 years ago. near
Holly, Colorado, scene ot the re
cent school bos tragedy in which
a blixzard took toll of the lives of
five children and the baa driver.
The Robinsons still own their
farm there, which is Just ' four
miles north of the farm home of
Andrew Relnert. where . the res
cued 'children were taken .from
the bus', and where Mary Louise
Miller, daughter of the bus driver,
died that night.
The Holly Chieftain,1 a .weekly
newspaper, comes to the Robi
son home, and this week's Issue
contains a tall account ot the tra
gedy. Bryan Untiedt, the brave
13 year old lad, who waa respon
sible for saving many -of the lives
of the 17 survivors, is" recovering
in a hospital, and has - received
from - Got. William H. Adams of
Colorado ' a public expression - of
thanks for his -valiant and heroic
deeds. - ' . : ' '-
ryan gave most " of ? his cloth
ing to his fellow students to help
k, taem- warm, and worked and
wrestled with the younger ones
to keep them from surrendering
to the fatal aleep. He has told
how. the driver,. Carl Miller, who
perished in trying to . find help,
drained the truck; and got an Old
cream can which they used for
a stove In the- bus," burning their
books and tablets, the bus seats
and everything else combustible.
Their lunches had been upset
while floundering about, lost, in
Jhe drifts, and being caked with
inow, were unfit to eat.
Eight Holly men, Dr. F. E. Cas
burn, W. A. Klrby, Vaughn Swaf
ford, Millard. Brown, Fred Woods,
Jim Miller and Don Reish braved
the fury of the story in four cars
after 9 o'clock at night when word
came .to Holly, of the children's
danger.' They had to force their
way forward through deep drifts.
In bitter cold to bring relief and
succor. -
The body of Carl Miller, the
driver, was found face up in
wheat field Saturday morning,
only about 3 Vk miles, from ' the
stranded bus. He was found by
Ralph Lucius, who lives on the
Robison farm.
The Robinson family have been
acutely Interested in the tragedy,
because of their long residence
there, and acquaintance with the
geographical situation. The coun
try is a ort of open plain, or
prairie, where winter winds sweep
with unrestricted violence. .

OLD CLAIM IS GRANTED
After Five Years Scia1 Woman Receives $175
MULE GETS THE BLAMiE
8CIO, April,' 9. During the
summer : ot 1 92 5 a government
pack mule stampeded a farm
team belonging to . Mrs. Alice
Burton ot the Bilyeu Den region
near Sclo. -.The team ran- away
with a disc and one of the ani
mals sustained a cut on the leg
and had to be hilled.; .
Five and a half years later
the congress -of the United States
enacted a special law authoris
ing the payment of S17I to Mrs.
Burton to reimburse her tor the
loss . of the mare. Notice of al
lowance ot the .claim . was re
ceived by Riley 6helton of Sclo,
who had been looking after the
matter for Mrs. Burton, through
Congressman Hawley and Sen
ator McNary. The special law
was approved March 3, 1931,
A son of Mrs. Burton waa
working in the field when a fed
eral geological survey party with
a pack outfit passed the place
from Snow Peak, where field
work "had been tn progress. A
gate at the Burton farm was
open and one of the government
pack mules went Inside to take
a rertful roll on the newly
turned soil. This the animal did,
and when It got up it shook its
pack, twisted its tall and saun
tered away near the farm team,
which had been left standing for
a few minutes. The white can
vas which covered the pack be
came soiled with the new black
loam and It looked terrible to
the Burton team. In fact. It
was entirely too much for the
farm team, which snorted like a
buekaroo brone, kicked over the
traces, and forthwith frantically
hurried away from there. In the
wild run from the : discourteous
mule and its spotted pack the
farm team finally came to grief,
proving that a disc is a danger
ous thing to draw when getting
away from a homely pack mule.
The leader in charge of the
geological party terminated the
injured mare's suffering with a
bullet from his revolver. The
growth and the standing water
on the fields caused considerable
damage.
Loss of livestock was light, con
sidering the sudden flood. Hoefer
Bros, lost two ewes and several
lambs. Some of the farmers lost
turkey eggs which the hens had
laid- on low ground.
Many ot the farmers went out
in boats when the water was at
flood stage to kill gophers and
other rodents that were seeeklng
high ground.

Burton claim , ot $175 against
the government dated' from that
summer day In' 1925. Although
the- geological party recommend
ed payment from the inception
of the ' incident, watch-dogs of
the federal treasury at Washing
ton, D. C protested on the
ground that the government was
not - liable for the assigned rea
son that the gate at the Burton
farm was open and the pack
mule was ' not driven onto the
premises and therefore was not
a trespasser. It required five and
a half years ' to ; overcome this
contention but the bill was final
ly authorised and Mrs. Burton
will receive pay for the dead
horse. .. - i !
