CHEYENNE, March g. A snow
storm, exceeding in violence and du-

set in 1t IL p. m. ON the 9Th inst. and
continued without abatement until
noon to-day, the wind ranging in We
locity from SO to "a miles per hour,
carrying snow with it and drifting in
banks from 10 to Is feet high in the
city. So far only one roof has given
way. 1t extended from Butter Creek
on the west to Julesburg on the east.
A great number Of the cuts are
level full of snow, and all the trains
on the Union Pacific, Denver Pacific,
and Colorado Central are either side
tracked or showed in on the plains.
The trains stationed here have been
shoveled out, and tomorrow morn
ing, If the storm, which has not Who'll

be vigorously manipulated. Passen-
