TIE late snow storm delayed railroad
trains 10 Iowa somewhat, but they are all
right now. The Davenport Democrat Of
last evening says:
A huge snow pow was brought from Chi
cauo. and Mr.. Kimball started west with il
yesterday morning. Between Brooklyn
and Grinnell it left the track, and two honrs
we're spent in getting il in place again. The
delayed trains from Desmoines, that left
that city yesterday morning, succeeded in
getting through at one o'clock this morning,
and the passengers we're thus able to take
the train this morning, for the east, reoc

learn that the drifts in many places were
higher than the coaches.
