Desert Rescue Ends in Amputations for Langerman
John Langerman and W. Minto endured 20 below zero while trekking from the Cedars to find work on a canal project. Langerman, badly frozen, faces possible midway foot amputation and hospital care, while Minto recovered enough to reach Shoshone and arrange aid. Local donors and Druggists assisted the Bazar that funded St Teresa's Academy, with proceeds aiding education and a new girls' building at St. Teresa's under Bishop Glorieux.
