On cross-examination. DR.. Greene sug-
gested to some one that il would be good
thing for DR. Moore to have a post mortem

brought on by an attempt to procure an
abortion.

A COLD STOR N
lraverses the Rocky Mountains Doing
Much Damage.

DENVER, Col, Jan g.
storm OF unusual violence prevails in
the mountains. Blockades on the railroad
are the worst known for years The inten-
sely cold weather was accompanied by high
winds, blowing from the north. The zero
laden winds blowing east and striking the
warmer atmosphere caused heavy snow fall
IN Kansas. The worst phase of the storm is
the necessarily disastrous effect it will have
upon cattle interests 1t is thought that the
storm will cause high death rate in South
ern Colorado. Along the Arkansas valley
the herds are drifting to the river and show
ing unmistakable evidences of exposure and
fatigue.
In the mountain valleys. where thousands
of cattle were lately driven from the over
stocked ranges of the plains, the storm will
prove to be excessively severe. The larger
portion of these valleys are out of the reach
photographic of communication. In the valleys
heard from, especially in western aud north
ern Colorado, lying west of the continental
divide, the snow is very deep.
