Our people have no idea what q
North Dacotah blizzard really is. 1t
is described as a binding snow
storm, the snow cutting like needles.
with heavy wind and the thermome~
ter way below zero. Here are some
accounts a recent storm +: "Mail
Agent Borrought, of the Great
Northern Road, is buried in a snow
drift near Devils Lake, N. Dacotah.
He was on the westbonnd train
which was stalled out of DEVILS
Lake Thursday evening, and he
walked into a restaurant at DEVILS
Lake, obtained as big a supply of pro.
visions as he could carry, and START
ed back for his train. He never
reachedait. A searching party has
been digging 10 the snow for his
body all the afternoon. John Hooey,
a farmer, living four miles from
Park River. N. D., started from his
house to his barn Thursday night
and his body was found two miles
away on the prairie this afternoon.

drifted in such a depth as to stop all
trains, the intense cold followed
freezing the snow so solid!y that in
many Instances it was necessary to
use dynamite to remove it.-Frank
