Storm Came From the Vest.

Ths electrical storms of last week
gave the pessimists plenty of room to
predict all kinds of calamity, but as
the clock struck u, announcing that
Sunday morning and March had put
in an appearance, the air was filed
with snow which continued falling
until midday, leaving about two inches
on the ground. Monday morning the
storm resumed and continued all day
until six inches of crystalized rain lay
heaped up evenly over the parties.
The storm came from the west being
held back by northeast winds. Rail
road men report plenty Of snow on the
west end but east Of here very little,
The snowfall was the heaviest had at
Goodland this winter, although the
southeast part of the county had one
equal to it in December. Reports from
all over the county show the snow to
be evenly distributed, and though
somewhat light, being held in place by
the heavy growth Of weeds and grass
Of last summer. Ali indications point
to another storm and heavier fall
of snow.
