worst snow storm ever known in this vicinity
set in about 8 o'clock this morning. 1t
continued until 0 o'clock tonight with the
wind blowing at fearful rate all the time.
All the northbound trains on the Santa Fe
are tied up, as the approaches to the Ration
tunnel on both sides are drifted full of snow
for distance of several hundred feet. I'm
der the most favorable circumstances It wfll
probably be more than twenty-four hours
before any trains can move over the Ration
mountain Soutnbound trains are all tied up
at Trinidad The last train passing the noun
tain was the hotel-keepers' excursion, at 3
a. m. The high wind has played havoc
around town. Several houses have been un-
rooted, one building, the Corner saloon, hay
ing the front blown out, and the back wall
of the Home ranch, a two-story brick build
ing, fell in this morning. The streets are
completely blocked with snow drifts, come
as deep as fifteen feet. Several hunting
parties left here yesterday, and there are
grave fears that all have perished, as the
cold has been intense, with the wind blowing
the snow in swirls, making il impossible for
any one to see more than three or four feet.
Word has juet been received that the cuts on
the Santa Fe on the other side of the tun-
mel are filled to depth OF sixeen feet, and
that it viii ltake two days before trains can
