RAILROADS AGAIN
TIED UP BY STORM
WORST STORM OF THE WINTER
JUST SUBSIDING IN THE DA-
KOTAS-MUCH SUFFER
ING BY RANCHERS

FARGO, N. D., Feb. 4.-What is
far the worst storm of the winter
10 just subsiding after having
wrought havoc with the train service
and occasioned much suffering
among isolated homesteaders.
Beginning Friday afternoon the
blizzard ragged with undated fury
until Saturday evening. Sweeping
across the plains, driving large guam
titles of snow before it and piling it
in deep drifts in every cut, it put an
end to all traffic, not only in North
Dakota, but in Western Minnesota as
well, and resulted in a complete tie
Mp of all railroads in this part of
the country.
From 2 o'clock Saturday morning
until Z that evening not a train ar
rived in Fargo neither from the east
nor west. Trains leaving St. Paul
Friday arrived here sixteen hours
late. No trains have been running
north or west Of Fargo since Friday
night. There has been complete
tie-up of freight and passenger SER
vice on the main lines and branches
Of both the Great Northern and Nor
thern Pacific. Eastbound coast
trains on the Northern Pacific were
held all day at Mandan, Bismark,
Medina and jamestown. Two passen-
ger trains which left Fargo early
Friday evening were caught in a
.xnowdrift thirteen miles east of here
and it was found necessary to send
seventy-five men with shovels to dig
them out They were not released
until Saturday evening. Telephone
messages from Sharon and Sheldon
say that both towns are short of
fuel and conditions are serious.
That the present storm has car
ried great suffering and death in it's
trail there can be little doubt. Many
towns were short of fue alnd the
blizzard aggravated this condition,
but it is among the homesteaders
and many of those have undoubtedly
perished.
T. M. Druger, a homesteader re-
siding twenty-one miles northwest of
Williston, N. D., who reached here
today, stated that within eight miles
Of his home seven men had frozen
to death on their claims

mise verdict would satisfy the state.
Judge Smells instructions to the
fury were brief, fair and clear. Both
sides expressed satisfaction with
them. He told the jury that the ex-
pert testimony was of little value.
He said that five verdicts We're
possible:
Murder in the first or second de-
gree, manslaughter, acquittal or ac-
quittal by reason of insanity.
At 4:45' the baliffs were sworn
and the jury filed out.

Blizzard at Portland.

PORTLAND Feb. "A fierce
blizzard prevails throughout central
oregon, and the storm shows no
sign of abatement. 1t is the worst
in many years, and two feet of snow
covers the ground. The losses of
sheep are very heavy. There is no
hay in the interior, shipments having
been delayed on account of the car
shortage and washouts on the roads.

Is being heartily congratulated by his
friends and fellow railroad men upon
retaining bis presence OF mind and
avertlng a train wreck with serious
loss OF life when the situation seemed
at the moment TO promise fatalities
whichever choice he made OF two al
ternatives that were open to him.
A Michigan Central freight train that
had got beyond the engineers control
was bearing down on the crossing, Its
whistle shrleklng out appeals for n
clear track. At the same moment n
Grand Rapids and Indiana passenger
train came along at full speed. Tower
man Egan threw the deraller against
the freight train.
"For second hardly knew what 10
do" he said II knew that TO leave the
deraller thrown meant that the freight
would be wrecked. My imagination
pictured the mangled bodies Of the
freight engineer and fireman buried
beneath their traln-killed by turn OF
my hand. but II l gave the freight a
clear track II would have run squarely
into the Grand Rapids aud Indiana pas
senger train, aud then there might have
been many killed.
"All these things flashed through my
mind. aud instantly I knew that there
was but one thing 10 do. aud that was
10 let the freight 20 Into the ditch. !

with a sigh OF relief that saw the
