And as soon t as the snowfall ' waa complete. tho mercury In the old therniom- eters went coasting down hill and never stopped until it reach- ed the twenty-fourth norch be- low zero. lit I.lverinoro recalls the time very vividly because that was the coldest November that this section nf the state has ever had s nce tho weather has been a tonic of Interest to Pale faces. Cattle died by tho hundreds and thousands, and the Indians skin- lied the carcasses of the pelt which sold at 25 cents each. One of tho singular things about the freak of the weather man was the fact that the tem- perature rose decidedly toward the end of the month, and tho rest of tho winter was very mild. Sir! Livermore, In talking about tho weather, declared that a more striking contrast In the weather could not be easily Imagined than that existing then and now.
