THg ICE KING REIGNs AGAIN.
A v-ritab,e Blizzard Over North. West and
southwest-some Anomalous
Conditions.

Omaha, Neb., Jan. 26.-Predictions
made last night as to probable dis
astrous effects of the blizzard which
ragged all day yesterday and last
night, were partially verified in re-,
ports received here to-day and to-
night from points in Nebraska. What
seems a remarkable condition exists
in the vicinity of Ogalalla. where the
storm was more severe than in any
other portion of the state except the
northwest quarter. 1t was expected
that the losses among cattle in that
district would be enormous, but au-
thentic reports received from several
points in the cattle district affirm
that actually no loss was sustained,
the cattle finding necessary shelter.
Reports from the northwest por-
ton of the state are not so fattering,
however, while those from Kimball
and Banner counties, the farthermost
n on the western side of the
state, indicate that heavy losses have
occurred. bassett, almost the heart
of the northwest cattle district, re-
ports severe losses in that vicinity.
Bertrand also reports apparently
heavy losses. Harrison and Plain
view, where heavy losses were antici-
pated, are like the Ogalalla district,
free from suffering.
So far no loss of life has been re-
ported as a result of the storm.
Traffic on all roads is still delayed
somewhat, trains arriving from two
to six hours late, but reports from
the railroad officials indicate that
drifting has not been so heavy, but
that the tracks will be quickly
cleared and regular schedules re-
sumed.

CATTLE INTERESTS SUFFER-.
Thermometer Mt Zero with a How'll
ing North Wind In Oklahoma.

Thermometer at Zero with u How'll
ing North Wind In Oklahoma.
Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 27.-The cold
est weather of the winter, with the
thermometer at zero all day and a
bowling wind, covers all Oklahoma.
Possibly nowhere else in the south
west will it's severity be so great.
There are large cattle interests that
will suffer greatly, nc matter what
provision has been made to protect
them. The weather has been so
springlike for the past month that
the sudden change will play havoc
with cattle in all portions of the ter
ritory. The wheat crop will also suf-
fer loss, as not enough snow has ac
companied the blizzard to protect the
rank growth. In the new country
settlers, and especially those in NOV
ing wagons, Of which there are hum
dreds, must suffer.
In the Indian territory, principally
in the Creek nation, where the full
bloods are in destitute circumstances,
the conditions are very bad for UNI
dergoing the rigors of such weather.
In this country are many whites,
prospective settlers, without funds
and friends.
