OBSTRUCTION ELSEWHERE.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1S.--The conflict of the
elements incident to the exit of warm
weather and the advent Of winters
billy blasts, eliminated yesterday in
one of the most destructive and far
reaching storms of the year. The in
itial battle ground of the mighty OPP
posing forces, 1t appears, was near the
little city Of Redbud, Randolph county,
in the extreme southwest part Of ILL
nois, about eighteen miles from the
Mississippi river. Sweeping from the
north came a tremendous storm OF
snow, rain and sleet which, encounter
ing the warm air currents Of Egypt"
developed three distinct cyclonic storm
c~enters. diverging from q common cen.
ter near Rosebud.
Taking u southeasterly course one
prong Of the storm passed rapidly on
through western Kentucky and Ten.
nessee leveling everything in its path,
and only when northern Alabama was
reached had 1t spent its force. To the
westward passed q storm center, pass
ing through central Missouri, thence
across northern Kansas, finally being
lost in the mountains of Wyoming.
But the curious feature of this remark
able atm ospheric disturbance lay in the
direction taken by the third
arm-a northerly course through
Iowa, veering to the west in.
to Nebraska, leaving q hopeless
tangle Of wires In its wake, until It be
came next to impossible to reach any OF
the great cities west of Chicago excep,
by circuitous routes.
