THREE DEATHS At CHICAGO.
Cold Snap the Most Severe known In
December for Many Years.

CHICAGO, Dec. H-Chicago experienced
to-day and tonight one of the most severe
cold snaps on record for the early part of
the winter. The weather office predicted
early in the day that it would prove the
most severe weather that the city had felt
for twenty-five years in the month of De-
cember, and tonight no flaws can be. found
in the prediction.
Three deaths were reported to the police
during the day as having been caused by
the cold. They were: John Grammar,
teamster; John Hayes, no occupation, died
of exposure, and an unidentified man,
dropped dead at the intersection of Kinzie
and Wells streets. death being caused, ac-
cording to physicians, by heart failure
Superinduced by cold.
At daylight this morning the mercury
in the weather office stood at below zero
and the highest point reached during the
day was below at 6 a. m. In the evening
the temperature began to fall and at D.
m. it was below. The prediction by the
weather office was for 10 below zero by
Sunday morning. figure that will mark
the coolest in December for quarter of a
century.

of the street car lines had much difficulty
in the running of cars. The storm of last
night was at first rain and later Sleet and
trolley wires and on the rails, making il
almost impossible in places to move the
cars The elevated roads, all of which
operate with the third-rail system, were
in bad shape all morning because of the
ice, and 1t was found necessary to send out
men to remove all the ice from the third
rails before any speed could be made with
the trains. The ice and snowdrifts also
caused delay TO the railroads, many trains,
particularly those from the west, being
from thirty minutes 20 two hours behind
time.
The railroads operating suburban lines
were not able TO land their passengers with
any approach to regular schedules. In
some instances the trains were not able
10 make more than three miles an hour,
and they were run at irregular intervals.
In the large downtown stores, where
I Christmas shoppers were in force, it was
found impossible to keep the buildings at a
comfortable temperature because of the
constant opening Of doors, and the clerks
wore cloaks and overcoats as they stood
behind the counters.
The cold was accompanied by gale from
/ the northwest that made the suffering
much more severe

TEN LIVES LOST.
Sheep Herders and Their Flocks
Frozen to Death I'm Wyoming.

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 14.-Ten lives
have so far been lost in the blizzard which
has been raging in Wyoming. Late reports
received from the southern. western and
eastern portions of the State show that the
weather for the past twenty-four hours
has been of unusual severity. the tenn
perature falling to "A degrees below
zero at many places. and in a few places
going as low so degrees below. The
weather began 10 moderate to-day. Thus
far no official reports have been received
from stock losses except where sheep hud-
died together on the railroad and were
killed by the cars. But rumors tell OF heavy
losses among the sheep in the country be-
tween Rawlns and Green river, where IL
seems the storm was the most severe.
Reports have just been received that five
sheep herders persisted in the blizzard near
Point of Rock Thursday night. Four bodies
have been recovered. The loss OF sheep

BLIZZARD AT PITTsBURG.
Heavy Rain Changed Into snow,
Which Was Followed by Cold.

PITTSBURG, Dec. IA continuous and
heavy rain prevailed here from early morn
ing until about 9 o'clock tonight, when it
turned into a snowstorm of the blizzard
type. AT midnight the snowstOrm con-
tinues, and by morning four or five inches
of snow are looked for The mercury is
falling fast and the government observer
says the thermometer tomorrow will range
between zero and eight above. The rain of
to-day has been general throughout the
Monongahela and Allegheny valleys, the
average precipitation being LOS up to 10

the rise in the rivers a flood stage is pre-
dicted by the weather bureau by Sunday
night. Preliminary notices TO this effect
have been sent to points on the Ohio below
here, and river men and shippers have been
cautioned. AT midnight the Ohio river at
Davis island dam registered ten feet and

GUTHRIE, o. T., Dec. 1.-THE blizzard
which has been raging over Oklahoma and
Indian Territory since Thursday at mid
night has done great damage to stock in
the western part Of Oklahoma, where the
ranges are unprotected. Cattlemen did not
anticipate the sudden change. The same
is true in all portions of the two Terri
tories, but not to such a great degree as in
western Oklahoma. From the Creek and
Cherokee nations of Indian Territory come
reports of intense suffering By the full

the drought, and who must rely on appro-
