During the winter of 1889-1890 a number of people would have frozen to death if “Wild Goose” Bill Condon had not come to the rescue by selling the settlers his rail fences at five dollars per load. In December, 1889, during the big snow storm, we were living in a cabin in Wilbur. On the morning following the heaviest snow, we found our cabin completely covered by a snow drift. It was necessary to tunnel our way out and shovel snow form the window. This was a tough winter for all of the settlers, as about 90 per cent of the livestock was lost by freezing or starvation.
