EARLY FRUIT DAMAGED.
Loss in Nebraska Offset by Benefit to
Grain Crops.

Omaha, Neb.. April 21.-As a result of
the unprecedented weather that prevailed
during the greater part of the month of
March and the freezing weather and
heavy snowfall of the last few days. early
fruits such as peaches, plums. apricots,
\ cherries and blackberries in this section
~iave been injured. but the general opin-
don among those who have the best means
of information is that the damage is not
as great as has been reported. Indeed
many are of the opinion that while early
fruits have been injured and in some In
stances completely killed, and possibly
some of the la ter varieties have been
hurt the benefits resulting to the grain
crops from the snowstorm more than off
sets the damage.
Reports Not Alarming.
Reports from points along the line of
our railroad are not unfavorable," said
G. W. LoOmis. assistant general mana
ger of the Burlington, today. "rhe fruit
in the southern part of Nebraska which
the unusual warm weather in March had
brought TO an advanced state of develop
meut is reported TO have been pretty
badly damaged but little or no damage is
reported from points north The snow,
however. did vast amount of good to
winter wheat and has put the ground
in fine condition for other crops"
similar reports have been received at
the general offices of the Northwestern
railway
the state" said c. F. RedingtOn. clerk TO
General Manager Bidwell. "Our reports
do not indicate that fruit has been much
hurt, so far as can now be told"
Early Fruit Damaged.
'sOur work has to do with the weather
conditions and not to their effect on
crops" said Forecaster A. L. Welsh Of
the local weather bureau. but from such
reports as have come in I do not believe
conditions are as bad as they have been
reported. Early fruit has been hurt, but
n is. ! believe, far from true that the
fruit crop has been destroyed. The record
for warm weather in March was broken
twice during last month and the aver
age for the month was far above that for

STORM RUINED

Mercury Dropped to ID Above
Zero Saturday Night Both at
Denver and Pueblo.

WIDE SCOPE OF COUNTRY AZ
FECTED.
GRAIN WILL BE BENEFITED

Denver, April PA sharp drop in
temperature followed the snowstorm
last night, IA above zero being record
ed by the weather bureau i'll both Den
Yer and Pueblo, and fruit of all kinds
in eastern Colorado was effectualiy
nipped in the bud. At Grand Junction,
the center of the more important fruit
growing district west of the continental
divide, the temperature fell to 80 de-
grees. and the wea Their observer there
reported today that the condition of
fruit was grave. While the damage to
fruit in this state may amount to sew
eral million dollars, nearly all other
crops will be greatly benefited by the
moisture.
Extent of the Storm.
A remarkable feature of the snow
storm was that it was more severe on
the lowlands than in the mountains.
While the precipitation covered a large
area, including all of Colorado, Wyom-
ing and part of South DaketO, Nebras-
Z Ia, Texas and New Mexico the snow
was almost entirely confined to the
eastern slope of the Rocky mountains
and extended from Lander. Wyo., and
Rapids City, S. D., on the north, to
Santa Fe, n. NJ, and Roswell, n. NJ,
on the south. The Colorado state line
on the east was practically the limit
of snow in that direction, and only a
light snow occurred west of the conti-
mental divide. The storm originated in
the north and worked its way slowly to
The south, passing out of the state late
yesterday.
Not Up to the Record.
ID.
forecaster, who estimated the snowfall
in Denver at seventeen and one-haIf
inches. said today that though the
storm was remarkable in this city for
April, it was by no means unprecedent-
ed. On April Il. % ana %. IS5. the rec
ords show d snowfall of thirty-two
inches, twenty-three falling on the last
day of the storm. The only weather
bureau station in the mountains of this
state is located at Corona. on the Moi
fat road. There only four inches fell
during the late storm.
At the railroad Offices il was stated
today that traffic was not seriously inn
peded by the storm, as all the noun
tain roads are prepared to meet such
emergencies with giant rotary snow
plnws. and that no trains were de-
layed over an hour or two.
No Slides Reported.
tt was feared that heavy snow falling
on the old snow of last winter
might start slides to running. but in
the section of the state where snow
slides are most frequent the snow was
light and no slides have been reported.
on the whole it is asserted that while
the storm was heavier than any of the
entire winter, and some damage is re-
ported, the resulting good will offset
the loss MANIFOLD.

BABY ON THE DOOR SILL
BROUGHT BY UNKNOWN HANDS
TO THE HOME OF JOE kLos.
WARMLY WRAPPED IN BLANKET

Newly Born Infant Found in the EarIy
| Morning, is Again Transferred to
Another Home, That of Guy Nestel,
Where it is in Good Hands.
A new born babe, a little baby boy,
clothed with hastily gathered ward
robe and warmly wrapped in a blan-
ket was a gift brought Monday morn.
ing by unknown hands to the door sill
of Joe Klos, who lives in the little vel.
low house near the Junction depot.
klos viewed the gift with astonish-
ment. A young Bohemian, married
and with seven months baby boy
OF his own, Klos threw up his hands.
But the little stranger found a home.
| Guy Nestel, a baker at the Junction
eating house and a young married
man without children, promptly adopt
ed the little fellow.
Joe Klos works at the lunch counter
in the eating house. At o'clock Mon
day morning he arose for the morn
ings work. AS he dressed he heard a
tiny cry from the direction of his
door. There on the doorstep was the
strange gift of the night.
Klos, who has boy of his own,
viewed the little fellow on the steps
with alarm. The infant was brought
into the house and warmed Klos,
who has lived in Norfolk three years
and is tender hearted young fellow,
couldn't figure out what to do with
the extra baby.
1t was Guy Nestel who came to the
rescue. He made the first bid for the
baby and the little infant changed
owners for second time. The Mes
tel home is block or so north of the
eating house.
There was no clue as to the parent
age OF the strange baby. The little
fellow appeared healthy.
