A GENUINE BLIZZARD.

One of the worst storms that ever
swept the Minnesota Valley struck Man
kato last evening at about nine O'Clock.
Until that time the weather had been
very moderate with heavy fall of snow
throughout yesterday. AT the hour
named terrible wind spraDg up from
the north and in less time than it takes
to tell it the air was filed with the loose
snow, which was hurled with almost
binding velocity and gathered into drifts
that extended from fence to fence. The
temperature lowered rapidly and this
morning the mercury stood at from %
to 50 degrees below zero, with the min
imum not vet reached. The wind in
| creased in bitterness through the night,
and when daylight came discouraging
expanse Of snOwdrlfts presented itself
to the view of the anxious pedestrian.
With the mercury crowded into the
bulb, and bowling wind, the streets
offered prospect ANYTHING but inviting.
The street car track was effectually bur.
|
ering the sidewalks there was nothing
TO do but wade knee-deep through the
snow.
The railroads were terribly drifted,
every cut being filed with hard packed
snow and the wind every moment max
ing the blockade more effectual. Trains
on all of the roads were suspended las
evening and not q wheel moved to-day
The prospect is that unless the storm
abates the siege will not he completely
raised for week.
The roads in the country and on the
prairie are nigh impossible and not {
farmers team was seen on the streets
to-day. No one in the city can imagine
the severity of the storm on the prairie
and the suffering must be great.
1t was a reckless person who ventureC
on the street to-day unless his business
called him there. Hardly a team wa
visible the entire day. Man and beas
alike sought the friendly roof. No bust
ness was done at any of the stores ant
any Of them would have made more b,
shutting up and saving the fuel. Oh
citizens sometimes came together 3,
compare notes on former experience
and the oldest inhabitants raked GU
from their slumbering memories the ex
periences of years long gone by. 1t wa
the general conclusion that no sucl
storm has been experienced in recen
years, not even during the winter o
lSS0-S1.

q. Roller, aged years.
AS stated in Mondays paper, little
Arthur had been III for about four weeks
during which time everything that low
ing hearts could devise was done to save
his young life, but the disease MAS too
powerful, and death came TO the boys
relief at three O'Clock this morning.
The sympathy of the entire commune
" will 90 out to Mr.. and Mrs. Roller in
tins terrible bereayement-the loss of
their oldest son, in whom they took such
great delight and whose life they had
watched with jealous care. The little
fellow was unusually bright and pre-
eocious for his wears, and gave much
promise for the future, But Providence
seems to have willed differently from the
hopes Of his parents, and the little fell
lows life has been cut short.
The funeral services will be conducted
tomorrow ut $50 p, m, from the resi-
dence, corner of Jackson and Third
streets.
The funeral Of little Arthur Roller oc-
Cured at 2:SO O'Clock Wednesday after

BUSINESS MEN We. THE RAIL
ROADS.

The State Business Mems Association
has fled with the state railroad commits
sioners complaint charging the G., M
q st. p, C. q N. W and G., st. p, NJ. A
O roads with discrimination in freight
rates in favor Of Southern Minnesots
and Dakota over Central Minnesota
The complaint charges that 3Ss pen
cent more is charged on the Hastings
& Dakota division than ON lines in
Southern Minnesota.
The complaint was made at fhe in
stance Of st. Paul and Minneapolis and
will benefit those cities principally. The
Mankato business men support the CON-
plant, however, as it Is desirable to es-
tablish the principle of mileage freight
rates. AT present shipments are made
from Winona and Eau Claire to points
in Southern. Minnesota at less rate
than from st. Paul to the same places.
In order to make the ratesthe same the
complaint has been put in. The inn
mediate benefit to Mankato of the equal
ization of these rates will be small if
any.
The ASSOCIATION has also entered com
plant with the Interstate Commerce
Commission against the &. 4 N. w. road
TO have the low rates which Mankato
now enjoys extended to towns west Of
here, such as New Ulm and Tracy.
There are also other complaints with
the State Commissioners, and the pro-
posed reduction of freight rates on the
Omaha road is stated to be the result of
one of these complaints.

COUNCIL MEETING.
Cattle Ordinance Passed - More
Money Borrowed--The Fire
Protection.

The regular meeting of the council wa
held Monday night, all of the aldermen
being present except Aldermen Alder
ger and Parry. The minutes of the
preceding meeting were read and ap
proved.
The report Of the city treasurer fol
December was read, the facts being the
same rs already published IN these col
umns.
The city recorder stated that he had
received from r. d. Wood 4 Co., Il bill
for s., S36.39 for water pipe, less 81 I77.75
for freight charges.
The ordinance to restrain cattle from
running at large anywhere in the city
WAS given its second reading, and, being
put on its final passage, received the
unanimous vote of the cOuncilmen pres
ent.
The bill of the gas company for Deem
Der, which WAS laid over at the last
meeting on account of some complaint
that the lamps were not all lighted, was
allowed.
Alderman Wood, from the committee
on ways and means, reported that it
would be necessary to borrow s.. 600 to
carry the city through until the personal
property taxes come in. The committee
was authorized to borrow the amount
for ninety days. This makes S23, 600

Aid. Hoerr referred to the article in
yesterdays FREE Press calling attention
to the fire protection ofthe city and asked
the water committee what it knew about
the matter.
Aid. Boegen stated that he had exam
ined into the matter, and did not think
that the water main between Hubbard
& Co.'S mill and the river was frozen,
though possibly it might be where the
air hole Is. There was fifteen inches of
water over the end of the pipe under a
two-inch crust of ice. He could not see
how the pipe could freeze, covered up
as it was. He thought that the mill
company neglected the city's Interests
when the mill was shut down, and did
not use the large pump but used a small
er one than the contract called for. The
water i'm the we'll was Overflowing, and
there was plenty there for all purposes.
The sand was not quite out vet.
Aid. Patterson promised that the wa
ter committee would make a thorough
investigation this morning, aided by the
city engineer.
The Mayor stated that if there was
anything in the matter it should be
known.
The city engineer stated, in reply to
an inquiry, that some hight work had
been done on the sewer at the north
end, but that little could be done until
some pipe was secured. Nothing had
been heard from Sioux City.
A few bills were allowed, including r.
d. Wood & Co.'S bill, and S4S.05 on the
sewer payroll. A bill from Wickersham
& Brown for 1926 for work and mater
ial from October until the present time,
was referred to the committee on claims
and accounts.
