ST. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 6.-Meagre re-
ports have reached ST. Paul of a ter
rife blizzard which is raging, tonight,
in South Dakota and moving rapidly
eastwood The storm struck Sioux City
soon after dark, starting with a fine
rain which quickly turned to snow.
The thermometer sunk rapidly and the
wind rose almost to hurricane velocity
and before it the snow was driven in
sheets, making traffic of any kind al
most an impossiblbility. 1t is thought
railway service will be practically at
a standstill by morning and fears are
entertained for settlers in the country.
Fuel is very scarce in some sections
and the cold wave which naturally will
follow the blizzard will cause much
suffering.
