''Where are those people who wanted
an old-fashioned winter2" asked one
man of another on Monday, and tho
other answered, They arc staying in.
Yes, the old fashioned winter is here,
sure enough, and the country is in the
throes of a blizzard. 1t has been not
able campaign in this section with the
Storm King arrayed against ali kinds
of traffic. Beginning with Sunday
week, the Storm King sent his myriad
hosts of white and although that army
rested on u wide field, the hosts OF
traffic successfully battled with it aud
business went on. He returned to sue

TO be defeated, and he returned to the
conflict on Saturday night, without
showing the slightest sign of weari-
ness. And all that night the snow fell,
quietly, and all day Sunday it fell,
not SO quietly, and Sunday night IT
continued, growing boisterous and

Temporary victory, the triumph of the
ibiizzard.
The last passenger train to come

cypress, which arrived here at s. 10
o'clock Sunday morning, 55 minutes
ate, after hard struggle with the
storm. 1t was in charge of Conductor
6herburne and Engineer Hanson. The
worst part of the road was struck a
bile north of Porter. Excepting the
orthbound and southbound Norfolk
Expresses, no trains run over the Della
are road on Sundays.
: The heavy snow caused freight car
leave the track in west yard in the
lght and ii blocked both the main

Ing several hours before it was put
pack on the track. On account of the
