One of the Schultz boys of Bowbells denies the reports circulated at his old home at Paynesville, Minn., that he had frozen to death. There are about nine thousand more North Dakota people who find it necessary to deny similar reports.

It was reported at Paynesville, Minn., that when seven teams hauling wheat to Bowbells arrived, it was found that the drivers were frozen stiff. This had lead the drivers to send in strenuous objections to such reports.
