the mounted rear guard.
After placing the conveys in the kraal

correspondent, General Methuen EaIloped
back 10 the guns on the right. He en-
couraged his men by his voice and gesture
and became q conspicuous target for the

fire on him as he rode from point TO point

STORM LEAVES INTENSE COLD
BIizEard I'm the Northwest Subsidies,
but sub-Zero weather
Prewaffa.


ST. PAUL. MINI, Maroh I7.-The great
blizzard which had ragged over the Dakotas
and Manitoba since last Fridav subsided
last night and today the weather was gen
orally fair, but fntenselv cold the ther-
mometer ranging from 10 10 16 degrees be-
low zero.
With the subsistence OF the storm the rail-
roads are bending their energy to again
open their lines for trafhe. and immense
rotary snowplows and gangs Of men with
pick and shovel are attacking the noun
famous drifts that block the tracks. The
Great Northern has succeeded in opening
its line as far west as Church's Ferry, ~.
D.. and the road is expected 70 be clear as
far as Minot by morning. This viii open
an avenue Of escape for the transcontinental
trains on that road which have been snow
bound at Minot since Friday night.
II all goes well the coast train that should
have arrived in st. Paul last Saturday
morning Will get here some time wednes-
day. The Northern Pacific expects 70 have
its road open again by tomorrow and the
through trains that have been held at Man
dan in the west and Fargo in the east will
be restarted upon their Journeys.
Lots of Trouble In Trame.
Efforts are also being made to reopen
the Manitoba division Of both the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific. but it will
be several days before trAfic resumes its
normal movement
In view OF the fury and suddenness OF
the storms it is remarkable that so few
lives are reported lost While the reports
SO far have been meager and many remote
points have not yet been heard from, It is
the general belief that not above eight or
ten persons perished throughout the
storm-swept region. A family of four is
reported TO have perished near Minot, n.
D.. and two or three Others are said tc
have been frozen to death in different To-
calities. The loss to stock il hard to esti-
mate. A report from Dickinson, n. d.
places the loss at from IS to 80 per cent,
while rumor places It In other localities at
much higher figure.
II viii be several days before definite In
formation in this regard car be obtained.
There has been good deal OF suffering
among the new settlers, many of whom ar
rived but recently and were ill-prepared to
Withstand the severe weather. but relief
committees from the older Inhabitants have
taken charge OF this matter and are doing
their best to alleviate the needs Of the
newcomers.
In this city Lewis Ourlowsky. aged II
years, was found dead early today on tht
street, apparently as a result Of exposurt
to the cold.
