nights on the prairies of North Dakota
In the midst of the worst blizzard the
northwest has seen in many years.

meals day, and with such Il scant
amount OF fuel that the women had to
wrap themselves in blankets to keep
from freezing. The men had also to
wear their OvercOats day aid night
The train was completely lost to the
world. Late Thursday afternoon it left
Williston in the hope OF reaching
Minot, many miles to the cast. before
night Almost midway, at a little
stopping place called Ray, where there
Is only a siding, water tank Il, d coal
shed, the train was stalled The en-.
gineer thought he could run tie en-
gine back to WillistOn and gen aid, and
taking the conductor with him, started
on the trip. The lone engine was
stuck in drift In a, cut ~ snort distance
out Of the town and had to 5e aban-
dOned.
This left the train Of eight Goa clles
and about 25O passengers alone or the
siding, with all communication cut of.
Then began the long ,iege, during
which the cold had to be borne and
hunger stifled. There was much snt-
fering.
There was an incipient riot on the
first day. The second-class passengers
insisted that they must have MS much as
or more food than the Others, q nd they
were in larger numbers and had more
ravenOus appetites it was difficult to
contine them to their quota. Many
were not willing. as the flrst.class pas
sengers insisted, that the women and
children should be fed and taken care
OF first, but after some argument they
were prevailed upon to snbside.
Monday evening Professor Colegrove
Of the University of Washington at-
tempted suicide by cutting his throat
with razor. There was physician on
the train but he had no facilities for
performing the necessary operation and
1t was absolutely necessary to get into
communication with one Of the neigh
boring towns. In their desperation
the passengers broke open everything
In the trains chest, and found tele-
graph instrument.
A young man, an electrician, faced
the blizzard and tapped one Of the
wires and attached the instrument. He
notified the operators at both Minot and
WillistOn of what had occurred. From
each place snOwplow was started in
front Of an engine, bearing a surgeon.
The one from Minot. after hard
nights work, reached the siding tho
following morning and the wounded
man was removed to St. Paul.
The almost famished passengers,
who had suffered from the cold and ex-
posure, were given food and warm
berths in the first train pushed through
the drifts The rotary Dlow u ade one
trip through the drift between Ray and
MinOt, but the snow piled in 80 rapid
ly that it was necessary for the rotary
to pass through again and then precede
the passenger through the cut.
Professor Colegrove's juguIar vein is
partially severed and 1t is not believed
he can recover.
