Narrow Escape of Deputy Surveyor Brown Near Bell Springs
The Carbon Journal reports Deputy United States Surveyor Charles W. Brown had a narrow freezing death escape on Sunday. He started from Bell Springs for Rawlins on horseback, lost his way and his horse gave out leaving him footsore. Mose Doze happened to be riding in Brown's cart on the prairie and found him near exhaustion. Doze gave Brown his horse and they reached Rawlins late in the evening. If Brown had not been found as he was he would have shared Conductor Pock's untimely fate.
