WORST OVER IN COLORADO.
Indications That Warmer Weather Is
About to Follow.

DENVER, Feb. 13. = The local
Weather Bureau reports that the
backbone of the cold snap is broken
so far as the section Immediately east
OF the mountains in Colorado, Wyom-
ing and New Mexico is concerned al
though it is colder tonight on the
western slope in Colorado. Clear
skies were reported from New Mexico.
Similar moderation was reported all
along the eastern slope to Cheyenne,
Wyo. The fact that no reports were
received from Yellowstone Park led to
the belief that weather conditions are
interfering with communication in
Northern Wyoming.
On the continental divide in Colo
rado and Northern New Mexico a
heavy snowfall occurred on Saturday
and Sunday. 1t was said that an east
bound Rio Grande passenger train was
snowbound on Marshall Pass and that
the passengers, some sixty in num-
Der, were suffering from cold and lack
of food. This was erroneous. The
train in question had been held at Sar-
geants while rotaries cleared the
track of snow. Interruption Of the
telegraph service made 1t impossible
to communicate with the stalled train,
hence the sensational rumor.
The Rio Grande was also compelled
to hold westbound trains at Salida be-
cause of the snow. All delayed trains
resumed their schedules at 5 o'clock
this afternoon.
