The WORST IN TEN YEARS
Was The Blizzard That Struck This
Locality Last Saturday Night.

The worst blizzard in years prevail
ed in this locality for nearly thirty-six
hours beginning with last Saturday
night. All day Saturday damp snow
fell, but melted almost as fast as it
reached the earth. Late in the even
ing the mercury began to fall and the
wind to rise. Sunday morning found
a veritable gale blowing. The fast
falling snow was swirled through the
air at a binding pace and was rapidly
formed into mountainous drifts.
Throughout the day the elements con
tnued their mad froic, making it i'm
possible for people to stir from the
shelter of their homes. No attempt
was made by either of the churches to
hold services, and no one, unless com
PEELED by dire necessity, ventured out.
The storm abated its fury early Mon
day morning and the sun shone out
brightly upon scene at once beauti-
full and appalling. Drifts of damp.
pure snow lay banked around every
building in town and formed impassa-
sable ridges in the middle Of the
streets. Many people were compelled
to dig their way out of their homes
through snow banks 10 it. high and bus
mess men were forced to tunnel
through high drifts in order to reach
the front doors of their stores. All
day Monday snow shOvelers were in
deman1a and as result of their efforts
the sidewalks were cleared so that
business could be resumed, although
it will be many days before the snow
has disappeared.
The storm seems to have been local
in character. 1t extended from the
Dakotas on the north to southern
Kansas on the south, and from central
Nebraska on the east to central
Wyoming on the west. 1t centered
over the territory of Sedgwick county,
Colorado, and Keith county, Nebraska
Railroad trains on the Union Pacific
were blockaded by Snowdrifts near
Ogalalla. The eastbound trains were
stopped in Julesburg and Sidney, and
westbound trains pulled into Ogalalla
after vaniy trying to break the block

run between Julesburg and Ogalalla
from Sunday morning until Monday
evening. when the blockade was
broken by the work of three snow
plows. Over 800 passengers were
aboard the trains stopped at this place
