PIERRE. OAK, Nov. 23.-One of tbe
worst snowstorms visited this part of the
country yesterday that has been known for
the past five years, the wind blowing a
perfect hurricane from early morning till
late at night, and the thermometer going
down below zero. Trains came in nearly
on time. Several accidents are reported
through the surrounding country. The
storm seemed to come from the Northwest
| and extended east as far as Blunt, where it
turned into steady rain. 1t is clear this
morning. but terribly cold. The snow ON
the level to-day was about four or five
inches deep.
BISMARCK's EXPERIENCE.
BISMARCK, OAK, Nov 23.-At noon
blizzard ever experienced in North Dakota
was brought to an end. The wind is still
strong. but no snow is flying. and the citi-
Zens are out in force shoveling away drifts
and making roads. Scott. the stage driver.
between this city and Fort Yates, has not
been heard from. He was due here at 7
O'Clock last evening. and there is much
alarm among his friends. If he was caught
in the blizzard at any distance from stop
ping place. he must have been lost. But the
hopeful ones believe that he has taken
shelter at some of the ranches on the
road. The weather is bright and
crisp now, and it is believed thar
the worst storm of the winter is passed.
The steamer Tompkins. with her crew and
cargo, which started for Sioux CITY. Iowa.
on Nov. II. is frozen in about 1870 miles
south of here, and will be compelled to re-
main at this point in the unoccupied coun-
try all winter. Her cargo consists of grain.
fuel and hides, and is the property of the
Evans Transportation company. The crew
left overland for the railroad, distance of
100 miles. The purser of the boat left two
days before the remainder of the crew. He
is now here. and thinks the other members
of the crew remained on the boat during
the blizzard.
