Worst In Years.

ST.. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 26.-Specials
to the Pioneer Pres from various
points in Northwe stern Minnesota and
the Dakotas report The worst blizzard
for many years. At jaime stown, N.

sixty hours and blizz ard has now
developed that makes it extremity
dangerous for any one to venture out
on the prairie. Roads are impossible
and it is difficult for rauchmen to get
feed to their s. ock. In West Superior,
Wis, the blizzard turned into a sleet
storm and all traffic in the city is sus-
rended.
