Tom Green County.

Fort Worth, Texas, December 23.-Late
reports from the Panhandle and West
Texas counties indicate that the loss to
cattlemen by the recent severe blizzard
and sleet storm will be far in excess OF
previous estimates from this section, but
under those from outside OF the State. Re-
ports are slow in reaching here from thu
district beyond Childress on the Denver
and Big Springs on the Texas
and Pacific and the intermediate country.
The country is isolated and 1t will be some
days yet before reliable reports are had
as to the actual conditions of the stock.
However, stoekmen here seen by The Post
representative say that it is safe to count
on heavy losses. Reports received at the
Fort Worth and Denver headquarters last
nipht were to the effect that snow had
fallen to depth of one to two inches from
Bowie to Texline. Snow five to six inches
deep Is reported in the Territory at Dun
