that the sudden Change from Indian summer Weather Will Work Havoc with the Cattle on the Ranges-Tele- graph GompanIss Suffering Most.


 Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 18.-A genu- inc blizzard prevails in the southwest and west. A heavy, wet snow has fallen since a. m., and driven by q strong wind, has prostrated wires in all directions and caused delay to railway traffic. The snow followed 24 hours of steady rain. The sidewalks are covered three inches deep with slush.
 Decided Fall in Temperature.
 There has been a decided fall in the temperature, and the suddenness of the storm, coming as it has upon the track of Indian summer weather, will undoubtedly cause great suffering, especially on the ranges, covered with cattle. kansas City is practically cut off from the west as far as telegraph communication is concerned. with no immediate prospects of relief.
