Bob Ingersoll returned last night
from Al CARROTS sheep camp, Is
miles north of Roswell, and he re-
ports that when he left the men at
the camp were of the opinion that

isned in the storm. They were last
seen Sunday morning and were sup

camp. A big party is out hunting
them now, but neither men nor sheep

SIX BELOW ZERO
Last Night Several Degrees Colder
Than the Lowest Temperature of
Last Winter Warmed Up Rapidly
Today.

The first train since the big snow
that began Sunday arrived from Am
arillo Tuesday night at $50. 1t was
freight, loaded with railroad coal.
1t was sent out to clear the track,
more than for any other purpose,
and the coal made good ballast for
butting the snow drifts. 1t had two
engines, but no snow plow. The train
was three days and two nights on
the road from Amarillo, and the en-
gine and train men endured hard
ships of both cold and hunger before
| they finally dropped into Roswell.
Herbert Gill was the conductor and
engineer" as he is known in railroad
circles, and H. T. Stanfield were the
| engineers. The deepest drift they
| encountered was five feet in depth.
and the worst one of all was one
| mile north of Kenna, where the
snow was five feet deep for a dis
\ tance of a quarter of a mile on the
track. 1t required lots of work to get
through this drift, but the two en-
gines we're finally successful.
L
| The track between Carlsbad and
Amarillo is now clear, and it is
thought the snow plows have the
track to Newton clear by this time.
Some of the drifts between Amarillo
| and Newton are Is feet deep.
The morning train from the south
10 only a few minutes late. train
| is expected this evening at eight
O'Clock, but it is not known whether
| it is bringing passengers and mail
from farther north than Amarillo.
| Was the CoIdest Last Night.
| Observer Wright's report on the
temperature shows that the coldest
time of the present snap was below
zero. His report merely shows that
the minimum temperature for the
past "a hours up to this morning. was
/ 6 below. 1t might be well to state
that this temperature was reached
| sometime in the middle of last night
and. that by this morning the weather
had begun to moderate. This morn
ing at s O'Clock Observer Wright's
official Thermometer showed de
| grees above zero This is a good in
dication for a continued rise in tenn
lperature. The observers, predictions
| for tomorrow bears out this theory.
/ Although the minimum tempera-
| ture was below zero last night, il
/ warmed up rapidly today, and by
noon the Thermometer stood at 2s
above. This is much colder than the
average winter weather for Roswell
There were but three cold mornings
all last winter, and the temperature
ON those days, according to the U
s. records. was as follows: On De

E. j. Lander is one, that A. l.. Woods
should at once assume the duties of

cial club at once. While his selection
had been determined upon by the COM

best not to make the change in secre-
taries until the return of Mr.. Lander,
who was on the committee, but owing
to the fact that Mr.. Woods would not
accept the secretaryship of the Com
mercial club unless he received the
other two from the fair committees
and vice versa, and as he had already
been selected by the fair committees
and the County Fair association was
anxious to get busy at once, Mr..
