FIVE FEET Of SNOW
ON THE SUMMIT
UNION PACIFIC BATTLES
WITH DRIFTS IN WYOMING.
The Greatest Trouble Near sherman,
Where Nine Trains Were Simultan-
eously Hung Up Within Distance
of Five Miles. and the Time Tables
of All Connecting Lines Are Dis
arrangeSi-The Short Line AMI the
o. II. x y. Are Having Little 1rUu-
BILE of Their Own.

Five feet of snow on the summit
of the Rocky mountains in Wyoming
is the cause of the delay to o. r. * n.
trains. For the past week the Union
Pacific has been battling with fierce
blizzards and drifting storms all along
the line through Wyoming, the most
difficulty being experienced near
sherman.
All freight trains are from two to
three days behind time in the noun
tain district, and all the available
forces of the road are concentrated
in moving passenger traffic. Yester-
day nine trains were tied up within
five miles in the vicinity of Sherman,
on account of the heavy snow and
fierce winds which filled the cuts al
most as fast as rotary plow and show
elers could clear them.
Snow bucking forces from Chey .
enne and Green River are gathered at
the summit of the mountains in the
endeavor TO keep the track clear.
Trains into Ogden, Salt Lake and Po-
catello are from IL to SO hours be-
hind time, and several through trains
over the Union Pacific have been
abandoned altogether and their pas
sengers, baggage and mail concen-
trated with other trains. Three main
line trains passed through Pendleton
today over the o. r. & N, greatly be-
hind their regular schedules, and it is
likely that all passenger trains for
several days yet will be considerably
delayed by the trouble in the noun
tains.
The Short Line and O. r. & n.
have experienced but little trouble
during the recent severe snowsorms
all the difficulty being farther east
on the main line of the Union Pacific

Bad FANNY Troubles.
At first 1t had been taken for
granted that Naylor had drowned, bu>
when the autopsy showed otherwise,
the manner Of his death became a
matter of more mystery. Especially
in view of the facts that came to light
concerning the dead mans affairs. He
had daughter, Mrs. E. L. Tracy
living here, and it developed that
there had been trouble between the
deceased and his son-in-law. This II
seems had existed for two years oil
more. Two years ago Tracy married
the daughter of Naylor at Wallt

the father of seduction. However, a

gave evidence blaming her father 70

f. G. Naylor, si Athena, was found
dead in the Byers' mill race early
yesterday morning. and the above is
the verdict OF the coroner's jury as
to how he came to his end. 1t was
the opinion of the coroner anh his
iurymen after nearly a whole days
investigation, thai murder had been
committed. This was based mostly
upon the fact that death was caused
by a blow upon the head; not by
drowning for there was no water in
the lungs Of the dead man. But
there were other circumstances that
also indicated foul play The body
was found under a small raft which
was not in the mill race at 9 o'clock
the previous evening, and shortly be-
fore the body was discovered the
sound of a man running was heard
by Pat McDevitt, the watchman who
found the body.
Up to this time no evidence has
been found connecting anyone with
the killing of Naylor, though some
suspicion has been thrown upon Ed
llacN, son U Nllt utdu
with whom Naylor had trouble and
with whom he was seen during the
evening.
Body Found at Forebay.
At o'clock Sunday morning Pat
McDivett, the young night watchman
nj the Byers mill, went to the fore
bay on the mill race to remove any
drift that had accumulated on the
iron crate where the water goes
underground. on the witness stand
Yesterday he said that just before
reaching the forebay he heard the
sound of someone cunning near the
small house down the track from the
mill race. He raised his lantern, but
could see no one.
He then went on TO the forebay,
and looking down into the water saw
a sight that gave him a shock. II
was a mans head, bald on top, just
beneath the surface af the water. Ac-
cording to the description given the
body was upright in the water with
the back toward the iron grating
Floating across the shoulders of the
man and holding him down in the
water was a small raft which had beer
on the bank the previous afternoon.
From the accounts given, young
McDevitt did not wait long at the
race. but returned hurriedly to the
mill and told A. T. Mathews, another
employe, of his discovery. The two
men then went to the race and after
a look at the body, the police were
notified. Coroner Henderson ant
Charles Wall, undertaken for NJ. A
