LONG TINE BETWEEN
Nine Years Have Elapsed Since a
Storm Equal in Severity Has
Visited Us.

The storm of Friday was the most
severe that has visited this section
in nine years. 1t commenced at /
O'Clock Friday mornin and kept up
for a period of "a hours. The only
storm that has equaled or surpassed
it was the blizzard of nine years ago,
Jan. 3, 1897, which lasted 48 hours.
a greater amount Of snow fell during
the storm Friday than that Of 1897,
winch then amounted to eight inches.
The snowfall of Friday amounted to
"a inches. The am cunt OF precipita.
ton from the snow made 300 inches.
With the binding storm and snow
drifts over the city it was nearly i'm
possible for hacks. drays, or delivery
wagons to get through. Several IN
stances are reported where teams
we're stalled. A hack over on the
east side became stuck in a drift
Friday evening and the driver had
to abandon it, and Saturday morn
ing it required four horses to pull it
out.
The reports from the country were
to the effect that roads are badly
dIifted and the rural mail carriers
were again forcei to give up their
daily trip.

AN OLD SETTLER
Citizen Was Formerly i
Business on the First Site of
Mitchell.

Yankton Press and Dakotan Ga
zette: This Office was certainly
given an opportunity today to greet
an old timer. if 1888 stands for any
thing in these parts. The visitor
was no less a person thar Mr..
Max Lyman, who was Yankton's
first street commissioner.
He vas born at Fort Pierre in
1850 and first saw Yankton liz 1858.
His earliest ~recollections of this
city are along stretch Of prairie from
the hills west of A. Nj. English's
residence down to the river, where
Bramble and Miner had a store.
In all the years he has resided on
Missouri he has never seen such a
mild winter as the one now passing,
as he stated today.
At u time he ran a store at Fire
steel (now MitcLell.) Later he NOV
ed to Greenwood, where he has resid-
ed for many years, ais last visit here
being twenty years ago.
There we're no white men here OF
course when Max first saw the future
town site, it being five years before
the ratification of the treaty with
the Yankton Indians. He recalls
Ben Ash who used to run, in the
earliest days, a small place where the
Merchants low stands. John Fox,
Sam Bunker and others will recall
Max Lyman, who with his brothers
Frank and Ed moved up to old Fort
Randall, where the major was placed
in command of the fort.

morning Conductor Glenn brought

Ting TO Mitchell nine minutes ahead

The Omaha road is also experience
Ing some difficulty i'm operating its
trains. The passenger train going
east this morning was held until the
arrival OF the st. Paul passenger,
which bad not arrived at d late hour
this afternoon. The greater share
of the day it has been blowing
through drifts between Mitchell and
Salem. The passenger going east was
finally abandoned this afternoon.
The right train to st Paul, which
should have left at I O'Clock last
evening, did not get out until 20

VERY SEVERE sNowsToRM
Worst Storm of the Season Started in
at Midnight-Great Quantity
of Snow Eel
(From Fridays Daily.)

tTludy y IDdlIy.)
Anybody who cherished The idea
that we were going to get through
the winter without IA severe SNOW
storm had it dispelled this morning
on arising and discovering a SNOW
storm OF no small proportions getting
in its work on South Dakota. The
storm was preceded Thursday night
With a slight rain and about ! o'clock
the snow commenced to fall, it II cas-
nring fully twelve inches on the level
at s O'Clock. There was no cessation
to the snow even up to a late hour
IN the afternoon, by which time the
depth was Is OF 20 inches. With
the wind The snow has drifted very
high in some places, making it very
difficult to walk through the drifts.
From all reports received this is
about the center OF the storm, as at
Aberdeen 1T as not very severe, and
the same condition prevailed south
of there. Tie telegraph lines of the
Milwaukee company are IN very bad
shape on account to the storm. Con-
neotion cannot be secured with Aber-
deem, Sioux City or Sanborn, Iowa.
The lines of the Dakota Central Tele-
phone Co. are also down In nearly
every direction. The Western Union
lines open to Sioux City and north up
to a late hour this afternoon.
At Chamberlain the storm is report
ed to be very severe, while at Sioux
City but very little snow is in evil
dence, it having rained there this
morning. The conditions are not
very bad at Yankton and south Of
there.
Contrary to all expectations the
trains are on time. The Omaha
passenger FROM the east was but a
few minutes late The t.ains west
and north over the Milwaukee road
were not laid out a moment, and
the south train this afternoon was
reported on time.
Superintendent Hof, after looking
the high school and getting re-
ports from the other schools in the
city. decided to suspend school for
the afternoon, as Ut was practically
impossible for the children to wade
through the heavy snow. In the
high school this morning there was
only about Il bali attendance and it
was about the same in the other
rooms.

THE REAL BUSTER BROWN

Thursday Night.

Tie career OF Buster Brown and
Tige have been followed through the
comic newspapers with more or lie S
interest in the time that Outcault
has made them famous. Buster and
Tige, with the accompanying 1ela-
tives, were at the opera house Thurs
day evening and delighted a very
lar .e and appreciative audience. The
performance Vas an excellent one
throughout and the supporting mem
bers IN The Way OF the chorus girls was
pleasing as anything we have had
this winter. The fire flies, the Bus
ter girls and the dutch boys and
girls were prettily presented. ard

ance and they We're encored time and
again. lit was an excellent speciality
and the young ladies vent through
with their work in d very captivat-
ing mannel.
As 10 Buster and Tige. we'll, they
made good in every respect. Buster
WAS impcrsonated by Baron Rosen, a
midget in size. and he had Busters
antics down pat, His song of Re-
solved, was a taking n and the
chorus that accompanied it was good.
Buster and Tige were very busy
throughout the evening in ways that
were humorous. Alfred Grady played
the dog. He had nothing to say
about things but he was very eN-
pressive in otnerwayS and was in on
the fun Tight along. Mr.. Grady has
a hard job in playing dog, but be
seems TO be admirably fitted to it.
Baron Rosen. despite his very youth
full appearance, is % years old and
for many years has Travelled With a
Lilliputian company.
The next attraction at the opera
house is the Kenney Stock Co.,
