FOUR FREEZE TO DEATH IN BLIZZARD
Gillette, Wyo. — Blizzard-swept Wyoming plains last week yielded bodies of four persons, trapped in a raging, sub-zero storm on the previous Sunday night.
Searching parties found the frozen bodies of Miss Barbara Wagstaff, 38, and Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Royal.
The body of Tom Wagstaff, 40, rancher and former British newspapermen, was found earlier. He, his sister, and the Royals were tapped in the sudden storm Sunday as they drove toward their ranch homes after a visit in Gillette.
Bodies of the Wagstaff party were found two miles from the place where the storm stalled their automobiles. they had fought against a strong wind, in a temperature 12 degrees or more below zero.
