81. PAUL, MINI, : auuGry IA-Ihe storm
vas without exception, and considering the
extent, the worst that has ever been ex-
psriencsd in the northwest. The snow to the
depth Of two feet on the level and from I'VE
to fifteen feet IN cuts, was sufficient to
almost suspend the running Of trains, but
sdled TO this, the high wind which blew in
some parts aud the blizzard which ragged in
others, 1t has suspended railway business
entirely Freight trains were hung up early
yesterday not wheel moving after noon
day. The passenger trains one by one FOL
lowed suit, and by 8 O'Clock last night there
was no attempt at running a train at any
point west Of st Paul. Eastern lines, how
ever worked hard to keep their lines open,
but without success. At 6 O'Clock this morn
ing the reports were very d1scourag1ng.
Branch line trains were all abandoned at
functional points last night, and it Is uncer-
tain when they viii DO opened. 1t Is thought
that some Of them viii be closed SIX weeks.
Tbs wind is blowing hard on almost all the
lines today, and the cats are being hllsd IN
as last IS they are pumped out. Inc storm
of yesterday is now raging IN Iowa. Be
sides that anothsr Storm or a continuation
of the present one Is expected 70 strike MIN
nssota Sunday, in which case there Is no
telling what the result VIII be.
1t Is raging IN Idaho to-day with the ther-
ern Pacific as low as 80 degrees below zero.
Manitoba reports, from the northwest, IN
dictate cold wave with high winds coming
from that direction. In fact things look so
dubious to-day that railway men viii not
venture an opinion when traffic viii again
be resumed. Each line is putting forth
every effort to keep their Chicago line open
but even that is almost an impOssibility. Al
noon to-day not train came IN the Omaha
| limitsd being reported nearer than any 9th
| er one.

Man Jack and Jack Jack.

In the early days Of Dutch Flat, Q
large boned and gigantic Indianiar
was known TO his rough but kindly
associates as Kicking Tom" Among
these pioneers of the wilderness Kick.
ingT ON had grown into universal
popularity. He was generous, brave
and kindly, and, what perhaps en-
deared him to his associates more than
anything else, he was always foremos,
in the rough sports Of the camp.
One day miner brought into camp
a Mexican burro. which soon obtained
wide celebrity as vicious animal
that would attack man or beast with
desperate fury. Several mountain
ponies had been kicked to death by
him, and more than one man had
nearly lost his life by the heels Of the
savage brute. The miners, sitting in
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1888-01-11
their cabins, spun wonderful tales OF
what he had done.
"He is the liveliest kicker going"

their cabins, spun wonderful tales Of
what he had done.
"He is the liveliest kicker going
said one.
"You are right, old man. That
beast would kick the hair off a mans
head without touching the skim" re-
piled one of his companions.
That was touching Tom in tender
place, and after moments reflection
he spoke up with the remark:
HE can't outkick me" The OBJ
servation was received with amazed
silence.
Lord, Tom! Why, he'd make
mince meat of you in minute"
"Would he?" replied the athletic
Indianian. "Then he can have the
chance. I'm ready to kick for 800,
and may the best man win."
"Or the best jack" interposed a
companion.
81 mean what say, old man, so
don't be so spry with your tongue" /"
And Toms brow lowered in gathering
anger. His friends apologized for the
jest, and the crowd dispersed.
The next day the rumor went
through the camp that Tom was will
ing to kick the burro for wager.
Opinion as to the match was about
evenly divided. If anything, Tom
was the favorite. Under these cir
cumstances a mill for 500 a side was
easily arranged between the beast and
the man, and it was decided that the
conflict should come off the next Sun
day afternoon.
Promptly at the appointed hour the
fight began. The beast seemed to
take in the situation at glance, and,
laying back his ears. he watched his
wary opponent with angry eyes. Sud-
denly Tom leaped forward and land
ed terrible kick squarely on the
junction Of the neck and the head.
The brute reeled before the force of
the blow, but, recovering, wheeled
and launched both heels at his antag-
onist. The man leaped aside, and as
quick as lightning responded with an
other fearful kick on the burro's neck
And so the conflict ragged. Sometimes
the jack would get in savage blow
on his opponent, but oftener the man
had the best of it; and at last, put
ing forth all of his wonderful strength,
landed kick with the fury and irre-
sistible force of pile driver on the
jacks neck, which had been his OBJ
jective point from the beginning.
The beast reeled back and with
convulsive quiver fell over. Tom was
terribly bruised, but no bones were
broken, and in few days he was q
spry as ever.
The miners next day gave the jack
a regular funeral. Amid all the
pomp and circumstances Of the camp
he was left to rest underneath the sod
of the valley, and local poet thus
canonized his memory:
Lay his waxen hoofs together,
Fold back his long, spreading ears,
For he has gone to blend his heehaw
With the music of the spheres
