I Judge. Friday showed ominous signs
of a blizzard, which set in, accompanied
by snow how much the dweller on the
prairie cannot tell, for it went some

intense, and Sunday morning saw the
thermometer twenty-five to twenty-six
degrees below zero, Monday morning
twenty-four to twenty-eight degrees

low at noon, with gale of wind
varying from thirty to forty, or posi-

ed.
Peter Soens is hauling quite num-
Der of railroad ties to the station.
