Head, with several cowboys, camped near Sierra Grande with 1,800 beef cattle which they were holding for the purpose of loading in cars.

At four o'clock that morning a blizzard from tho northwest struck the herd, driving the cattle toward Panhandle, the cowboys being unable to hold them. The snow was so blinding that it made it impossible to seo llfty feet ahead. Miller railed his men together and they started to follow the herd and made an attempt to keep them bunched so far as possible. The men became separated. Friday night one of them wandered, into Head's home ranch, half dead with cold and hunger.
