Winnipeg, Man., Special, Jan.
27.-About eighty residents Of
the little hamlet OF Nestpas have |
trekked to Winnipeg AZ the result |
of one of the most remarkable
phenomena caused by intense
cold that has ever been known in
these parts and one that created
no little commotion and specu-
lation in Winnipeg on it's occur
renee. |
Nestpas is a village of perhapsl
400 people about ten miles from
Winnipeg. 1t is q new town,
having sprung up during the]
last two years. Most of the
houses are new frame structures,
not all OF them we'll built,
Sunday night when the Their
mometer was at it's lowest in
Winnipeg there was heard a seri-
es of reports like the distant
boom of cannon from the direc-
ton Of Nestpas. 1t was so dis
tinct that it was q matter for
general speculation for all that
happened to be awake.
This morning when sled load
after sled load of families came
i'm from Nestpas it was at least
partially explained. The noise
that had puzzled wakeful Winni-
pegers was nothing less than the
swapping Of theunseasoned wood
with which q number of houses
in Nestpas had been hastily con-
structed and the clatter OF the
boards falling upon each other.
1t appears that the effect OF the
intense cold was such that the
boards not only shrank and
split away from the nails, but
the construction OF the nails
themselves assisted in the pro-
cess.
The effect was to strip whole
houses of their sidings and to
leave their inmates exposed, ex-
cept for the inner walls to the
blasts of old Boreas, making
longer habitation impossible.
With:daylight, when the worst
OF the damage, which affected
some rs houses, as nearly as can
be found out, was discovered, the
sufferers packed up and betook
themselves to the securer struct-
ures Of Winnipeg until warmer
weather makes repairs possible.
To some, of course, the disaster
means great hardship.-Grand
Forks Herald.
