KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 28.-Proba-

blizzard of the season is raging in Kan
sas. 1t commenced late Wednesday
afternoon, when the cold wave became
intensified. The thermometer dropped
10 10 degrees above zero and
a high wind came up from the north
west. At I o'clock it began to snow
and the storm developed into a binding
blizzard. Dispatches from southern
Kansas state that "a norther" is raging
in the Cherokee strip and that intense
suffering will be experienced by the
foolhardy boomers, who not only
have invaded the strip contrary
TO law but went into the barren
country wholly unprepared for any
emergency such as the present. There
are fully 5000 boomers in the strip and
they are equipped only with the meager
comforts afforded in the furniture of a
prairie schooner" Most of them are
scantily provisioned, and with only
wagon-covers for shelter they will en-
dure great suffering.
