IN TEXAS.
DENIsoN, Texas, Feb. 5.-The recent
storm that has prevailed throughout the
southwest has in some respects been the
most severe of the season. Snow fell
throughout north Texas, and il is ex-
pected much damage will result to navi-
cation and stock from the cold wave. The
news from the Indian Territory indicates
that the loss to cattle in the nation will
be very disastrous in consequence of the
storm that has recently swept over the
country.
A special from Red Fork, IL miles
south of Tulsa, the present terminus of
the St. Louis Il San Francisco railway
says: "The heaviest full of snow ever
known in this country is now ON the
ground, at least Is inches on the level.
There is much suffering on the Frisco ex-
tension west of here, and the loss of stock
on the range will he unprecedented if the
snow lies on the ground two days longer,
AZ feed and water are unobtainnble. In
many of the covers in the timber breaks,
where stock usually resort in storm, the
snow drifts are from 10 to 80 feet Deep"
A special from Chauteau, on the line of
the Missouri, Kansas Il Texas railway in
the Indian Territory says; ''Snow has
been falling hard for the last "a hours
with no signs of abatement. II is now
about two feet deep with heavy cold
north wind blowing. The snow is drifted
in places five to eight feet deep, and the
already weak cattle will undoubtedly
perish. It is the worst storm that has pre-
vailed here for years.
The news from the Texas Pan Handle
is meagre, but to the effect that snow has
fallen heavily throughout that entire re-
gion, and that the cold is intense. The
loss to the cattle interest in the present
faniished condition of the stock it is
feared will be unusually large.
