When they got to the Elkhorn River they found two large comp a nies on the bank of the river. They had not been able to cross the riv er , because the ferry had been left on the other side, and a heavy rains tor m in the upper country had swollen the stream to the height of twelv e fee t. Canute Peterson and Ira Sabe volunteered to swim across and rea ch th e ferry. When they got about a third of the way across, Ira began t o giv e out. Canute knew he had to reach the ferry so he exerted himsel f to th e utmost to reach the ferry, which he did. He pulled Ira after h e got th ere. They got the ferry boat in operation and before evening ha d quit e a number of the wagons across.
They had a few stampedes on the road, one on the Elk Horn Ri v er, but there were no damages until they arrived at Williow Springs whi c h was east of Sweetwater. Here they encountered a severe snow storm, f re ezing 17 head of cattle and one horse during the night. Snow fell nea rl y to the top of their wagon covers and they had to dig their way out.
