touched by the storm. In Nil
waukee the snow drifted eight aud

centering there were completely
blockaded. Business was almost
completely suspended in many
towns in Southern Minnesota, Wis

storm passed quickly, the blockade
Is raised and trains are reported
running on time. Superior escaped

more disparsging remarks in re-
