A Terrific Wind
Storm.

Denver. March 2,-Heavy wind
storms are prevailing all over the state,
trains are delayed and the telegraph
and telephone lines all over the state
are down.
The wind attained velocity of 81
miles an hour in this city at 3 O'Clock
this morning but the wind has subsid-
ed since that time. The day was warm
notwithstanding the wind came direct
from the snow clad mountains, but it
became cooler this evening and a
heavy drop in the thermometer with
snow or rain is predicted by the
weather observer.
Every train arriving in this city
this morning was late and the excuse
the engineers gave was ''The wind. "
The wind blew the hardest ON Arkan-
sas divide and the trains going over
it during the heavy wind were
forced to stop time and time again.
The dust filled the oil boxes in the en-
gines and the engineers were forced to
use the oil cans for the machinery.
The tin roof ON No 16 on the ID. and
r. G. was blown off near Monument
this morning and every window in the
cab broken. No other damage was
done to any of the engines or coaches
but the wind was too fierce for the an
gineers to drive through at full speed.
Every crew of line men are inspect
ing and repairing the damage done to
both the telephone and telegraph
wires. All telephone communications
are cut off between here. Colorado
Springs and Pueblo.
The storm turned to a norther this
evening. and a heavy snowstorm is
falling all over the eastern part of the
state. Reports from the western slope
indicate that the storm is crossing the
state, but no fears are entertained fol
the loss Of stock.
The thermometer dropped from q
to 80 degrees during the afternoon.
At Loveland the fall was 40 degrees il
| 81 minutes.
The heavy wind storm that visited
Leadville turned to sleet storm dur
ing the night. The wind dropped con.
siderably late in the evening. but the

closely in regard to the princi-

said he adhered absolutely to

church in relation to the revel-
alton commanding polygamy
which was made known to the
first president on a visit from
an "angel in black" He also
said that he still believed in
polygamy. The testimony was
directed in slight degree at
