Pacific Central relief train from Me-

Butler. where the regular passenger
train, which left last Friday with a
large number of passengers. most OF
whom. were bound for California. are
supposed to be imprisoned in SNOW

last report received was that the train
was blocked Friday night between
Madison ana Fridiey station, Kansas.
The telegraphic wires are down be-
tween all points and nothing has been
heard from the train for three days
1t Is well known that there are no pro-
visions on the train and 1t is feared
the passengers are In a famishing con-
dition. II is expected that the special
train will get through tonight. The
storm is the worst for years and all
traffic has been suspended. The near
est point at which provisions could be
obtained is at Madison, and passengers
would be compelled to walk through
deep snow drifts. Efforts will be mad.
