OMAHA, Neb., Dec Final details
of the great storm that has enveloped
Nebraska for six days were received
yesterday. Much stock has persisted
on the extreme western range, where
there were few ravines which afforded
shelter to the animals The aggregate
is not SO large as anticipated, how
ever. Though the zero weather
ontinues, it is bright. and the
snow is rapidly disappearing. A
peculiar feature of the great storm is
the efficient manner in which delay
has been avoided by railroads center
ing here Though great quantities of
snow fell between Omaha and the
mountains, the service was uninter-
rupted. The officials are confident
they have solved the problem of hand
ling fast trains regardless of heavy
SHOWS, which in former times impeded
traffic.
