this morning Was probably never before wit
messed in the history OF the world The majority
OF the 1900 people lay blanketless upon the
ground, either guarding their claims or slumber-
ing where they had fallen OF fatigue Upon the de-
pot platform they lay rs close MS corded wood and
in the few tents they crowded in huddled masses.
As many as could took the olneager shelter
afforded but there quickly came n limit TO capa-
city, beyond which neither tears nor brides
could prevail. Among the thousands stretched
on the ground women, many OF them of
respectable quality. Those who could not
sleep-and they were legion--in the sting
ing cold crouched in groups, swearing
or weeping us suited their ST iTits The sun
fairly leapod out OF the prairie and within two
hours the cold had been supplanted by IA Sahara
heat. The wind rose, hut without cooling
effect. II blew n hot sirocco that scorched the
flesh and filled the air with binding alkal dust.
To complete the general misfortunes the only
der stress of the furnace blast 1t could not be
repaired and other tents could scarcely be
mounted.
